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, implementing routing, NAT, port forwarding, DHCP, DNS, and packet sniffers. As well as troubleshooting and resolving complex network problems.
Students will design a relational database to contain customer data and security incidents 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 create the code to connect a web site to the database to authenticate users and provide user-specific content to users after login.
