The Elective in System and Network Administration (SNA) is a three-course specialization designed to equip students with essential skills in server management, cybersecurity, and networking. SNA 1 focuses on Linux and Windows Server administration, where students learn to configure and maintain servers while gaining hands-on experience using Raspberry Pi for practical applications such as network monitoring, internet monitoring, text-to-speech implementation, and Retropie installation. Additionally, students set up web servers and manage Active Directory, providing them with a strong foundation in networked environments. SNA 2 advances into cybersecurity, covering topics such as cyber threats, network security measures, encryption, incident response, and ethical hacking. Through real-world simulations, students develop skills in securing networks, mitigating vulnerabilities, and responding to cyber incidents. SNA 3 shifts towards Cisco networking, preparing students for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. The course covers networking fundamentals, router and switch configurations, routing and switching technologies, WAN implementations, and network security. By the end of the elective, students will have developed practical expertise in system and network administration, cybersecurity, and networking, making them well-prepared for industry roles and certifications.
