Course description:
The rapid growth of the Internet has enhanced the role of data communications in modern life. Computer networks are the core of modern data communication,
which is now being used to spur technologies, such as mobile computing, wireless communications, high-speed broadband, instant messaging, personal digital
assistants and other innovations. This course introduces students the concepts, terminology, and approaches used in data communication systems. The course
also emphasizes technical skills that can be used to help design, deploy and manage data communication systems and infrastructures.
Credit: 3 (3 lectures)
In the course, students will be introduced to variety of technical, managerial and organisational issues essential to the provision of information
technology for commercial application of data communication systems.

9. Comments and notes
:
Make-up: Make-up classes are officially accepted after the Make-up forms are signed by all of the students in the class and directly send to the
Registrars.
Preparation for Class: It is expected that the students read related chapter in textbook and lecture noted before each class. This will help to
capture the topics presented and discussed during class hours.
Use of Class Time: Class time will be used mainly for lectures and discussions. A small part of class hours is used for testing. House works will
be discussed on individual basis.
Class Attendance: Due to the broad range of topics discussed throughout the course and their inter-relationship, it is requested that the students
should attend the class regularly.
Incomplete Grade: A grade of “I” (Incomplete) will be administered only under extreme, verifiable “emergency” situation where the student is
unable to complete some portion of the course work due to circumstances beyond his/her control PROVIDED THE STUDENT IS PASSING THE COURSE.
