Image Deployment – IT Living Lab

During this project the students deployed a windows image that was created by an instructor to all the desktops in three labs. The students working on this project moved the machines from one lab to another where they deployed the image to these systems. After that was finished they moved the machines back up to their original location and checked their functionality. The final step for this project was to deploy the image to the machines located within two of the labs.

The work is challenging and exercises a broad set of soft skills as well as technical skills.

The Living Lab was a great opportunity to gain different technical experience in the IT field. The projects were all challenging and simulated a real-world environment to deliver upon. Nick Barnett

Before Living Lab, I had no work experience related to my IT career. I am grateful to my teachers for their support and encouragement on my projects. I experienced projects hands-on and improved my soft and technical skills. I learned how to work independently and also with a team as needed. I recommend students learn by direct practice and experience the Living Lab. It will introduce you to your prospective career! Ibrahim Issakha Doude
