Networking, the technology of interconnecting computing devices so information can flow between them, includes the design, deployment, operation, and maintenance of computing networks using developed components. This includes activities as simple as topology design to those as complex as the configuration of services and protocols to enable an entire intranet and the support of that environment. As the number of computing devices in the network scales up, the task becomes more difficult, involving design trade-offs, performance considerations, and cost issues.

Systems administration includes the system design, installation, configuration, operation, and support of computing system platforms from mobile devices, servers, and large-scale systems to the deployment of clouds and the use of virtualization. This includes the specification and implementation of all the hardware and software structures required to support and deploy these environments.

These disciplines are also concerned with the security and privacy of the information that is stored on these platforms and communicated over the networks they are attached to. In today’s information-rich environment, computing systems exist at the heart of a network and often work together to provide services as well as repositories for information. Students will take all of this into consideration as they design and deploy the security system and network solutions in support of an organization's strategic and tactical goals.

"RIT offers not one, but two career fairs every year. In addition to career fairs, faculty is always helping us network with different companies. I met Schneider Electric’s Gulf HR VP at one of our women’s series talks and instantly I knew I wanted to be a part of such an amazing organization. 2 years later, I'm still working at Schneider electric as a Marketing Communication Specialist and could not be prouder of my university and thank them enough for helping me find a life-changing opportunity."

"The RIT entrepreneurial Co-op program allowed us to develop our startup idea to concept stage in only 12 weeks! It also connected us with a lot of experienced entrepreneurs and investors that helped us throughout the journey.

The involvement of DTEC and entrepreneurs certainly helped us to gain real-life experience through this program. It was not an easy path to go through, it required patience and high-quality work. Our work would not get accepted if it was anything less than 100% which sets the bar high for the students showing us that this is a serious challenge. I myself enjoyed the experience and I have already recommended it to a lot of people as I believe that it is very beneficial for students. It teaches us the main basics of all businesses and how to become a leader, starting from the Lean Canvas all the way to the Demo day to pitch your startup which I believe are essential information."

"My Journey at RIT Dubai University started in 2017. What made me excited to join RIT Dubai is that I can graduate with an American degree while studying in the UAE. I am currently a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student with lots of wonderful experiences at the university. The course structures at RIT Dubai allow us to get exposed to the practical applications of the theories we learn, and that is translated by the numerous lab courses we take. Moreover, the courses enhance our group working skills through the group projects that we get. In addition to academics, RIT Dubai offers the students the opportunity to do long-term internships while enrolled in the university. I experienced a very exciting internship in Germany in a company that was once invited to the Career Fair that was arranged by our Co-op Office. It was a very nice experience where I had the chance to travel to Germany and experience the German culture and workplace. Through RIT Dubai, I am now prepared for the job market."
