Aims

Given the learning outcomes of the "Master in Computer Science and Engineering" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:

  • INFO1.1-3
  • INFO2.2-4
  • INFO5.2, INFO5.4-5
  • INFO6.1, INFO6.3, INFO6.4

Given the learning outcomes of the "Master [120] in Computer Science" program, this course contributes to the development, acquisition and evaluation of the following learning outcomes:

  • SINF1.M1
  • SINF2.2-4
  • SINF5.2, SINF5.4-5
  • SINF6.1, SINF6.3, SINF6.4

Students completing successfully this course will be able to

  • design, deploy and manage data networks
  • explain the threats against networks and the defense strategies
  • deploy mechanisms to ensure quality of service, security and reliability

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.

Evaluation methods
