DESIGN OF INTRANET FOR THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SUBNETWORK

Abstract

This thesis is a report representing the preliminary study and methods used in the design and implementation of an intranet for the school of Engineering & Engineering Technology, Minna. The objectives of this project is to provide interconnectivity for every computer system within the school of Engineering and Engineering Technology and also to provide an avenue for students to learn more about Network and Network applications so they can apply it to the internet technology and Telecommunication systems. Evolution and a brief historical background of Networks and also the need for interconnectivity are all briefly mentioned in this report. The concept of computer networking is also treated briefly. The implementation is effected using window NT server software or the servers and windows 95 and 98 for clients! workstation.
