IACT 999: Emerging Topics in Information Technology Management: This subject is concerned with the emerging issues involved in the analysis, design, development and implementation of a corporate-wide information system. Students will complete an individual project/business case related to the strategic use of IT in an organization. Students are required to apply their experience and knowledge from previous subjects, as well as a set of research methods to prepare a report and presentation. Projects will be undertaken individually and specific topics will be selected based on the student’s chosen elective stream and interests. The subject also provides students with enhanced communication and project management skills.
IACT 202: Structure and Organization of Telecommunication Systems: The aim of the subject is to provide students with an introduction to the technologies and regulatory structures which constitute the modern telecommunications system. Under regulatory components, the variety of telecommunications services and related regulatory concepts and structures are discussed. Under technological components, the following issues are dealt with: telecommunications standards; new network services; and basic components of the telecommunications system such as the public switched network, the radio frequency spectrum, mobile telephony and satellites.
ECTE 182: Internet Technology: This subject introduces students to the fundamentals of computer communications. These fundamentals are then used to outline the Internet Architecture, and describe its key components. Following this, the operation of the World Wide Web (WWW) will be detailed. Topics covered include packet switching, switched networks, layered protocols, Local and Wide Area networks, WWW operation, network components (e.g. routers), access technologies (e.g. modems). Laboratory exercises will illustrate key computer communications concepts.
Math 121: Discrete Mathematics: Students will be introduced to the spirit of mathematical inquiry and critical analysis, and encouraged to develop the ability to apply mathematical principles to the formulation and solution of problems. This is done through the use of non-calculus techniques, especially those of logic and number theory. This subject is well suited to computer science students
IACT 918: Corporate Network Management: The course examines advanced topics in Network Management such as SNMP v1, v2 and v3, RMON, Future Internet Management, NGNs, Autonomic Management, WIMAX Management, and Telecommunication Management Networks.
