Course Description

If you have ever been told, "You have chosen operational convenience over network security," this course is for you. The dynamic tension that exists between IT (information technology) personnel and AM, FM, or television broadcast engineers has produced countless examples that can be used in courses like this. As broadcast engineers are faced with the need to do work traditionally assigned to IT personnel, and as IT personnel are called on to serve broadcast operations; it is important to examine how both cultures can exist together symbiotically rather than in tension. This course has no technical requirements and is designed for all who are broadcast engineers.
