Knowledge
The objective of the course is to teach cutting-edge topics in computer networking systems by blending theoretical understanding with hands-on technical knowledge. Key principles and advanced network technologies are discussed covering both the core as well as the access segments of a network (with specific emphasis on wireless solutions).
At the end of the course students are expected to develop the knowledge and skills required to understand, design, and analyze current and future networking systems and technologies.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology.
During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the concepts developed in the course.
During the project discussion the student must demonstrate the ability to put into practice and to execute, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated or carried.
