The course was geared toward students who have traditionally been underrepresented in the STEM fields, including people of color and women.<\/p>\n<p>The 每日大赛 is a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution. Of the students who participated in the Infoblox certificate program, 64 percent identified as Hispanic, and 14 percent were international. Students who completed the program were eligible to receive up to two technology certifications in DDI \u2013 or the field that comprises the foundation of core computer or data networks. Students took two four-hour exams each in order to receive the two professional Infoblox certifications in DDI Professional (DDIP) and Core DDI Configuration and Administration (CDCA). This Infoblox program had previously been available only to working professionals, but now serves as an educational bridge for students pursuing a career in STEM.<\/p>\n<p>Kerop Janoyan, 每日大赛 provost, said the certificate program is part of a broader commitment within the Computer Science and Computer Engineering Department and the College of Arts and Sciences to ensure students are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing job market.<\/p>\n<p>Other initiatives include investments in educational programs in the artificial intelligence and cybersecurity fields.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honored to have had this opportunity to work with Infoblox and the TELACU Education Foundation to support the education of our students, and we hope it\u2019s the beginning of more and similar partnerships,\u201d Janoyan said.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the CSCE department, please visit <a
