Teaching Method

Outline:

Lectures will be given on networks and security, which are important positions in information engineering among various fields of information engineering.
The lectures will be conducted by a teacher who engaged in the research and development of middleware (database) at Hitachi, Ltd. Research & Development Headquarters for five years.

Style:

Classes will be held in a lecture style. Exercises will be given to deepen understanding.

Notice:

This course will provide the basics of advanced information-based subjects, therefore students must work it on actively. This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
