Network Systems

The work done by the employees in the Network Systems pathway is critical to the success of almost every company. You would be involved in designing, installing, and maintaining network systems. These systems allow workers to share information and projects. For example, in a medical facility, a network system would allow several doctors to view a patient's X-rays at the same time. They then could work together to determine the problem and best treatment.
