IST66100 - Distributive Communications and Protocols

(3 units)

Students will be exposed to review of LAN and WAN technologies, local and international networks and telecommunication standards. Course will include discussions on significance of network management on business operations and decision making.

In addition to the classroom instruction, students are required to get real-world experience through a practicum in an approved organizational setting for 100 - 160 hours. However, if a student is unable to secure a practicum site, another option such as a project will be made available to them to ensure they meet the course requirements through an applied project designed with the instructor. (International students need to meet their international student advisor for details). The program heavily endorses hands-on and practical training and the program has been designed to be completed with practical training throughout the full program in every academic term.
