RELATED COURSE STUDY

. Telecommunications Capstone Class - In this project class I worked

with two other students to design a frame relay network for a

hypothetical company. In this class we used Cisco 2600 and 2800

series routers and switches, and a Cisco ASA firewall to build our

frame relay network along with the routing stations at the

hypothetical sites. We also used an open source VoIP server to

simulate VoIP capabilities throughout the network and Apache web

server to design a simple website.

. Wireless Communications - A senior level project class, I worked with

another student to design a RF Log Periodic Dipole Array antenna.

During this class we took design specifications given by the

instructor and built our antenna using copper and brass tubing.

. Digital Electronics II - In this class we used VHDL and Assembly

programming language to design different projects given by the

instructor. Our main project included a digital five-way traffic

light system.

. Data Communications - This was a series of three classes that included

signal analysis, modulation schemes, coding schemes, TCP/IP and OSI

models, Linux core systems, IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, IP addressing and

subnetting, configuring Cisco routers with VLANs and various specific

configurations, and various routing protocols such as OSPF, RIP, and

EIGRP along with their respective algorithms such as Bellman-Ford and

Dijkstra's.
