offerings as they 
are released.

Tasks undertaken by the student may include the following:

Installation, configuration (hardware and software) , tuning
and system 
administration of  lab systems and project work in the lab.
This will 
enable the student to gain hands on experience and knowledge

hardware and associated system software.
Student Placement

the lab. These may include ongoing planning and development
or expansion
