The primary goal of the Network Instruction Lab is to provide an environment where students can get hands-on experience with equipment and technologies presently being employed in the Computer Networking, Telecommunications, and Data Communication industries.

Thanks to donations by companies such as Nortel Networks, Tellabs, Cisco, Intel, Microsoft, and many others, students take the theory learned in Telecommunications, Networking, and Information Security courses and apply it to real-world equipment and software. The insight gained through their lab exercises, projects, and research gives these students a definite technical advantage as they begin their careers in computer science and computer engineering.
