Why this course exists
OSP engineering covers the outdoor infrastructure that connects fiber routes, cables, utility networks, and customer service areas. The course turns that system into work you can understand, design, and explain.
02Practice
Apply it through guided work
03Demonstrate
Turn the work into visible proof
Learning progression
Each stage creates the foundation for the next.
The curriculum moves from understanding to application, so the final work is supported by a clear technical process.
01
Understand the network
Build the technical vocabulary and architectural foundation needed to reason about fiber infrastructure.
Industry contextNetwork architectureFiber technologyPON fundamentals
02
Design within real constraints
Connect regulatory, underground, GIS, capacity, and optimization requirements into one design process.
Regulatory frameworkUnderground infrastructureGIS classificationDesign standards
03
Create the high-level design
Plan routes, service groups, structures, splice closures, and vicinity information at network scale.
EOP, CL & ROWService groupsStructure placementVicinity mapping
04
Deliver the low-level package
Translate the network plan into detailed drawings, schematics, labels, splice records, and quantities.

What your work demonstrates01 02 03 04
Outputs that make the learning visible.
High-level route design
A network-scale plan showing route logic, service groups, structures, and splice closures.
Low-level drawing set
Detailed sheets with labels, callouts, schematics, cable information, and terminal references.
Splice documentation
A coordinated splice point, splice diagram, and splice matrix that support field delivery.
Bill of materials
A structured quantity output tied to the network design rather than a generic exercise.
