| Course Description | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental aspects of Computer networks. Topics to be covered include data communication concepts, layered network models (OSI reference model, TCP/IP networking architecture), different switching techniques, network congestion, network topologies, IP and Mac addressing, various types of networks (LAN, MAN, WAN and Wireless networks) and the protocols. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) Describe basic computer network technologies and explain data communication systems 2) enumerate OSI and TCP/IP layers, and explain the functions of each layer; 3) identify the different types of network devices and their functions within a network; 4) identify the basic protocols of computer networks, and how they can be used; 5) design and develop a new network program using socket programming libraries; 6) present the work in front of an audience. |
