Introduction
A Network Engineer is responsible for designing and managing the LAN and WAN networks within an organization. He or she is responsible for choosing the hardware and software the organization uses as well as the introduction of new systems and equipment. The Network Engineer is also in charge of making sure that updates and maintenance are performed on the current systems.
A major role would include the analysis, redesign and upkeep of the network to keep up with the changing needs of the organization. Skill sets required are predominantly the same as for Network Administrators but at a much higher skill level. At this level, the IT professional also needs to fine tune interpersonal and communication skills as well.
The role of the Network Engineer continues to expand. Wireless technology and private networking have forced network engineers to become extremely flexible in their roles and responsibilities. As the speed and efficiency of networks continues to impact a company's bottom line, the responsibilities of this role continue to become more vital to organizations across the globe.

Excellent job! The instructor was remarkably smart, with excellent teaching skills getting the point across to the students. I had knowledgeable teachers in the past, but, as smart as they were, they did not know how to communicate the knowledge to the student's level.
