Institute for Telecommunications
Technologies (ITē)
The Institute for Telecommunications Technologies (ITē) is a
grant-funded project that helps to develop the telecommunications
program here at Cuyamaca College. Components include:
- Telecommunications and networking curriculum
- Multimedia and web-based delivery
- "Hands-on/engaged" teaching and learning labs
- Teacher training workshops
- Success strategies for women in information technologies
and telecommunications
The program focuses on emerging technologies such as high-speed
networks, wireless LANs, network security, fiber optics, and
convergence technologies that merge voice, video and data applications
on a single IP network.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) / Advanced Technical
Education (ATE) under grant #0302678.
