Brief Course Description
This course is the first class in the Cisco Networking Academy. Internet Engineering 1 is an interdisciplinary
course designed to prepare students for post-secondary success in the Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) field. The course engages students with studies of: the history and implications of network
communications; the protocols which make the Internet possible; how networks provide access to services; and
college and career preparation in the ICT field. This course integrates the theory and application of network
communications, and exposes students to media that invites them to consider how Internet engineers think, design,
and solve problems. Students have several opportunities to produce college-ready writing, collaborate, research,
develop study skills, and develop 21st century skills in this course.
The text and materials used in this course follow the recommendations of the Computer Technology Industry
Association (CompTIA) for preparing students to pass the Certified Cisco Entry Network Technician Certification
exam which leads to CCNA certification.

2. OPTIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Context for Course (optional).
This course is designed to be part of a Career Technical Education program of study, a Linked Learning Pathway, a
Regional Occupational Program and/or a California Partnership Academy. In that context, this course would be a
required CTE course. As the Information and Communication Technologies industry sector thrives and expands,
the need for qualified technology professionals continues to grow. This course hopes to address this labor market
need by preparing students for the rigors of college level academic work and majors relating to Internet
engineering or computer science.
Internet Engineering 1 is an integral component in the Computer Networking Academy at Dinuba High School,
which is one of three career pathways offered by the Business Department. After completion of Internet
Engineering 1, students would take Internet Engineering 2 and then the capstone class of Workforce Preparation to
complete the pathway. Internet Engineering 1 is an elective class that fits within the Digital High School
framework. Upon completion of Internet Engineering 1 & 2, students will be well prepared for the industry
recognized Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician certification (CCENT). The labor market in the
community has immediate demand for computer networking skills and there is tremendous growth in industry for
the future.
History of Course Development (optional).
This course was developed in collaboration between two high school ROP/Career Technical Education instructors
and a Community College Instructor, all from separate school districts. These educators each have a strong
background in instructing networking communications technologies and wanted to develop a rigorous course that
prepared students for college-level content and writing. High School/ROP instructors include David Bayne with
Woodland Joint Unified School District and Yolo County ROP; Ben Crosby with West Contra Costa Unified and
Contra Costa County ROP; and James Briano with Mission Valley ROP. The development group consulted closely
with the AG Course Evaluation Guidelines and worked closely with the support and consultation of industry
representatives and Bradley Smith, Ph.D., Information Technology Services, Baskin School of Engineering,
University of California Santa Cruz. John Celum, ROP instructor at Dinuba High School, has taught network
communications in the Cisco Networking Academy for 13 years.

3. COURSE CONTENT
Course Goals and/or Major Student Outcomes – A limited number of broad educational goals to be addressed by this course.
At the conclusion of the course students will be able to:
Build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP version 4 and IP
version 6 addressing schemes.
This course is the second class in the Cisco Networking Academy following IT Essentials. It is designed to
provide students with classroom and laboratory experience in current computer networking technology that
will empower them to enter employment in the IT sector and/or further their education and training in the
computer networking field. By the end of the subsequent course, Internet Engineering 2, students would be
able to pass the industry recognized CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification
exam with the proper preparation.
Course Objectives – A list of specific student learning objectives. If you choose, you may also list appropriate academic content standards
alongside each objective.
Upon completion of Internet Engineering 1, students will be able to perform the following tasks:
● Set up a personal computer system, including the operating system, interface cards, and peripheral devices
● Plan and install a home or small business network and connect it to the Internet
● Verify and troubleshoot network and Internet connectivity
● Share resources such as files and printers among multiple computers
● Recognize and mitigate security threats to a home network
● Configure and verify common application protocols such as DHCP, SMTP, DNS, HTTP, and POP3
● Configure basic IP services through a GUI
 Configure networking devices such as routers and switches using CLI commands
 Implement IP version 4 and IP version 6 addressing schemes in a computer network
 Troubleshoot problems using an organized, layered procedure
 Describe the OSI model and the process of encapsulation
