Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

Learn the basics of the information networks. Learn the analog signal digitization and the transmission methods. Understand the topology for LAN construction, OSI reference and TCP / IP, and learn the various communication protocols. Learn the network security. In this subject, faculty members who have practical experience in developing routers and other network devices will give lectures and exercises.

Style:

With the goal of understanding the basics of network technology regarding LAN construction, the Internet, and security, lectures and exercises will be held from the 1st to the 15th week.

Notice:

Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
