- 1. CapstoneProject This is a hands-on demonstration of student abilities as a technician and understandingof the concepts and technologies studied for the past18 months. This is where you, the student, prove what you have learned by designinga fully functioningnetwork that includes the items listed below. The student will givea presentation on their design that should includetheir thought process on the project, and the strength and weakness of both the network and the student’s ability. The student will complete the network on his own with very little assistance from Instructors or other students! Once the project is complete, student will schedulewith the instructor a time to present, this should includebusinessdress and invitationsto all NetworkingInstructors.

A rubricfor each step will be used for grading, failure to complete a step fully will results in a 0 for that entire task if completed successfully it will be a 1.
