| THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDE A SPECIALIZED VIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, COMPUTER NETWORKS, THEIR OPERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO LOCAL, METROPOLITAN AND GEOGRAPHIC NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES, THEIR INTERCONNECTION AND ALL THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES OF NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMPLEX COMPUTING. THE FUNDAMENTAL CHOICES AND TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND THE DELIVERY OF THE MAIN NETWORK SERVICES, THEIR MANAGEMENT IN THE MAIN OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS AND APPLICATIONS IN THE INTERNET, WILL BE ILLUSTRATED IN DEPTH. IN PARTICULAR, THE TRAINING ACTIVITY OF THE COURSE WILL BE DEVOTED TO PRESENT THE THEORETICAL NOTIONS OF DATA TRANSMISSION, HIGH-PERFORMANCE SWITCHING AND INTERNETWORKING ISSUES AND TO TEH STUDY OF THE MAIN NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES. THE STUDENTS OF THESE TRAINING ACTIVITIES WILL ALSO GAIN IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE TCP/IP SUITE PROTOCOLS, WHICH ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR INTERNET OPERATION, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ASPECTS OF INTERNET TRAFFIC ROUTING ISSUES, INTERCONNECTION AND PEERING MODES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES (DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM, CACHING, ETC.). |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE PREFERABLY ADDRESSES STUDENTS WHO ALREADY HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE TECHNICAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE (ESPECIALLY GOOD READING AND INTERPRETATION SKILLS), A CERTAIN FAMILIARITY WITH THE ARCHITECTURE AND USE OF COMPUTING SYSTEMS AND GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASICS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. IT WOULD ALSO BE ADVISABLE TO HAVE BASIC PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE IN C. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE CULTURAL PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COURSE IS ORIENTED TO THE PREPARATION OF PROFESSIONALS WITH A SOLID PREPARATION OF BOTH METHODOLOGICAL AND TECHNICAL-PRACTICAL TYPES, ABLE OF COMPETENTLY MANAGING THE RAPID INNOVATIONS, TYPICAL OF THE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FIELD OF NETWORKING/TELECOMMUNICATIONS. THE TRAINING PROVIDED WITH THIS COURSE IS THEREFORE AIMED AT PROFESSIONAL INTEGRATION IN THE TERTIARY, MANUFACTURING AND PROCESS INDUSTRIES, IN THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING COMPANIES, AS WELL AS IN PROJECT AND RESEARCH CENTERS BOTH IN THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC (NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL) SECTORS. IN ALL CASES, THE FORMED FIGURES WILL BE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS CAPABLE OF CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING LOCAL NETWORKS AND SMALL INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO CONSCIOUSLY USE NETWORK SERVICES. THE COURSE CONTEMPLATES 48 HOURS OF FRONT LESSON RELATED TO WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THE CONTENT SECTION. LESSONS IN THE CLASSROOM CAN BE PERIODICALLY ACCOMPANIED BY PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL EXERCISES, WHICH ARE AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY THE METHODOLOGIES AND KNOWLEDGE GAINED DURING THE COURSE. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| WRITTEN TEST AND ORAL EXAM. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WRITTEN TEST IS TO ASSESS THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO APPLY WHAT HAS BEEN LEARNT IN THE CLASSROOM ABOUT THE RESOLUTION OF SPECIFIC EXERCISES ABOUT THE DESIGN AND THE CONFIGURATION OF A NETWORK. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE ORAL TEST IS TO ASSESS THE OVERALL STUDENT'S PREPARATION WITH RESPECT TO THE WHOLE PROGRAM. 6 APPEALS IN THE COURSE OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR WILL BE ENVISIONED. |
