Course Outline TE271
A: Unit Code and Suggested Course Title: TE271 Routing and Switching II
B: Curriculum/Program: Networking and Telecommunications Technology
C. Catalog Description: This course describes the architecture, components, and
operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network. Students learn
how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end of this
course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve
common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS
operations in a network.
Prerequisite: TE270 Routing and Switching I
D. Duration of Instructional Period: 200 minutes total per week for 15 weeks.
E. Academic Credit Hours: 3.0
Contact Hours: 4.0

K. Student Learning
K1. Evaluation of Student Learning:
As a technology course, most knowledge is gained by working through problems and
practical exercises that motivate the student to discover the underlying concepts that were
read or discussed, but not often understood.
Students are evaluated mainly through exams that reflect the homework problems that
were assigned. Additionally, labs offer a practical component when students can learn
while accomplishing a specific goal that is directly related to course content.
Course grading is as follows:
Class Participation
Chapter Assessments
Final Exam
Lab Assignments

K2. Assessment of Student Learning:
Course will be assessed using tests, projects, and rubrics described on the program's
assessment plan as submitted to the College Assessment Committee.
L. Library Resources: Use of library resources is recommended. Internet resources are
used to supplement text.
