2010-2011
Campus Network Infrastructure (CNI) Network Distribution Intern

Overview of the internship project:
Expose the students to the infrastructure components of data networks by working directly with network engineers on cable and wiring installation, data switch/telephone installations, and switch/telephone configurations and record keeping.

- Input and update information in documentation associated with equipment distribution and network jacks
- Learn about network equipment installation and configuration, and help engineers as necessary
