 ABSTRACT

A network engineer is a technology professional who has the necessary skills to plan,implement and
oversee the computer networks that support in-house voice, data, video and wireless network services.
Network engineers focus on delivering high- availability network infrastructure to sustain the online and
on-site information technology activities of users. Network engineers often overlap with other roles, such
as computer network architects or security systems engineers, and work internally within an organization
or as outside consultants. In many situations, network engineers work closely with project managers and
other engineers, manage capacity and carry out remote or on-site support. The engineering side of things
tends to deal more with planning, design and technical specifications, whereas the administration side of
things deals mostly with day-to-day maintenance, management and troubleshooting efforts.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A network engineer is a technology professional who has the necessary skills to plan,
implement and oversee the computer networks that support in-house voice, data, video and
wireless network services.

Although the job titles network engineer and network administrator are sometimes used as
synonyms, a network engineer usually has more executive responsibilities than a network
administrator. The engineering side of things tends to deal more with planning, design and
technical specifications, whereas the administration side of things deals mostly with day-to-
day maintenance, management and troubleshooting efforts.

The job titles may also be differentiated by education and/or earnings. Typically, a network
engineer has more education and earns more than a network administrator.

Responsibilities of a network engineer

Network engineers focus on delivering high-availability network infrastructure to sustain the

online and on-site information technology activities of users. Network engineers often
overlap with other roles, such as computer network architects or security systems engineers,
and work internally within an organization or as outside consultants.

Network engineers design and implement network configurations, troubleshoot performance

issues, carry out network monitoring and configure security systems such as firewalls. They
often report to a CIO, chief information security officer and other line-of-business leaders to
discuss and decide upon overall business goals, policies and network status updates. In many
situations, network engineers work closely with project managers and other engineers,
manage capacity and carry out remote or on-site support.

Information and Quality of the Resource (Content)

Content management

It ensures that an organization, the resource created is consistent. It has four main
components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control and quality

Dept of CSE, MSEC 2021- 22 3

 Network Engineer

improvement. Content management is focused not only on product of the resource

and service quality, but also on the means to achieve it. Content management, therefore, uses
quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more
consistent quality of the created resource pages.

Customer focus

The primary focus of quality of content management is to meet customer requirements and to
strive to exceed customer expectations that explains WHAT, WHY, HOW and WHERE of
the topic to a layman.

Rationale

Sustained success is achieved when an organization attracts and retains the confidence of
customers and other interested parties on whom it depends. Every aspect of customer
interaction provides an opportunity to create more value for the customer.

Leadership

Leaders at all levels establish unity of purpose and direction and create conditions in which
people are engaged in achieving the organization’s quality objectives.

Rationale

Creation of unity of purpose and direction and engagement of people enable an organization
to align its strategies, policies, processes and resources to achieve its objectives.

Engagement of people

Competent, empowered and engaged people at all levels throughout the organization are
essential to enhance its capability to create and deliver value.

Rationale

To manage an organization effectively and efficiently, it is important to involve all people at

all levels and to respect them as individuals. Recognition, empowerment and enhancement of
competence facilitate the engagement of people in achieving the organization’s quality
objectives.

Process approach

Dept of CSE, MSEC 2021- 22 4

 Network Engineer

Consistent and predictable results are achieved more effectively and efficiently when
activities are understood and managed as interrelated processes that function as a coherent
system.

Rationale

The quality of the content management system consists of interrelated processes.

Understanding how results are produced by this system enables an organization to optimize
the system and its performance.

Improvement

Successful organizations have an ongoing focus on improvement.

Rationale

Improvement is essential for an organization to maintain current levels of performance.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
The environment in an organization is totally different from what we experience
in our colleges and classrooms. There, the people are busily working towards achieving
the targets given to them. Even a small careless mistake may lead to loss for the
company. So, the workers/employees must be efficient enough to make a bold move to
finish the work within stipulated time to achieve the target.

I am glad to inform you that I got an internship at Cisco Networking Academy.

I started my internship on 6th January 2020. I had worked with the team for an entire
one month. I was glad to be a part of this team. I was supported by the whole team of
Cisco Networking Academy As days passed there were so many presentation which
had to presented to the whole team and we had meeting which were fixed and some
developments of the resources which I had to do to improve the meeting register .At the
end of the day I had to submit the report of the day work to the head of the department.
And then come the weekends where we had off and fun activities.
