Title: Final Project
Course: KVCC CPT128 > Section: Assignments

1.     Applied Network Design Project - Over the course of the semester, students will be asked to select a type of business that will become the focus of a large project. This business type will affect the content and structure of their project so some thought should be placed as to its selection. Once the business area is selected, the student will then be tasked with designing a basic network for a new expansion site of that company which will meet the needs of that business style. More information on the project will be provided in class and students will have the entire semester to finish the work. The project will begin on the first day of class and will be due the final day of class.

a.             The project will be graded on the following and will be considered part of the final and make up 20% of your overall grade. 100 total points possible.

i.              Network Layout/Plan – Does the proposed network meet the needs of that business while providing a stable platform for employees use? (30 points)

ii.             Network Hardware – Is the selected hardware sufficient for that style of business. Did the students show that they understand the concept of networking hardware enough to select the components for this project? (15 points)

iii.            Network Software - Does the selected software work with the hardware and business environment that was chosen? Does the software in this plan show an understanding of the programs taught in class? (15 points)

iv.            Application and integration of concepts learned in class – The project is part of the final grade and thus should tie all of the instruction together in terms of networking design concepts. (25 points)

v.             Potential for expansion – Does the network plan have the ability to expand or grow with the business and is it adaptable to new technologies. Students should demonstrate that they have placed thought into any growth and have made provision for it within the overall design. (15 points)
