Applied Learning Project
Students will build and secure a Linux virtual machine using virtualization technology. They will also create complex networks using Cisco Packet Tracer, demonstrate implementation of routing, NAT, port forwarding, DHCP, DNS, and packet sniffing models. They will also solve complex network problems.
Students will design a relational database that includes customer data and security events and create queries to analyze the data. Then, after creating four Python applications from scratch: an age calculator, a word guessing game, a lemonade stand game, and a text-based adventure game, students will write code to connect the website to the database to authenticate users and provide personalized content after login.
