Week 2 Assignnment: Key Hardware 

This week's assignment we are going to start digging into the specifics of the hardware that makes up both of our water treatment facilities, remember your company is responsible for purification of both drinking water and wastewater. You need to make sure you note key hardware and machines for the actual processes, but you also need to do work on the devices and systems you will need for the control systems for both facilities. The goal of the paper is to develop a rough list of hardware that goes into the water treatment facilities. If you remember your video and documents from last week, things will be much easier in knowing what type of hardware is needed.

Assignment Guidelines

Step 1: Using the documents from last week and Google, you will need to list all the key hardware and machines that make up the water treatment facilities and their ICS/SCADA systems. Below you will find a few sources of information to help you get started. Also, a hint, lots of companies in water treatment have technology pages. Don’t forget to mention what hardware and security you would use to build out the network, you only need to focus on standard networking for this week.

Step 2: Once you have gathered up all the information you will compile the data into a PowerPoint presentation. Each step of the processes will be a single slide. Each slide will list the hardware needed for that respective step, make sure to include photos and brief descriptions of the hardware explaining their usage and their role in the process. Your final slide should cover the hardware and security you would put into place for the networking.
