Recently, students in the two-year Network Cabling Technician/Smart Home Technology program at Capital Region BOCES calculated how many supplies would be needed to fully ‘cable’ a room. Area students, including BKW junior Evan Thomas, used various means to calculate the amount of cable needed for the room, from using tape measures to walking measurement rollers to counting ceiling tiles and floor tiles. The two-year Network Cabling Technician/Smart Home Technology program helps area students develop a unique understanding of today’s ever-growing field of network connectivity and emerging technologies. Through lectures, course work, and hands-on activities, students can explore this exciting field and gain the technical knowledge and professionalism needed to prepare them for an after high school career or post-secondary study.
