Computer Communication & Networks (CE-402)
SPrING Semester 2011
Course Instructor: Najma Ismat
Introduction
The goal is for students to learn not only what computer networks are and how they work today, but also why they are designed the way they are and how they are likely to evolve in the future. We will draw examples primarily from the Internet.
Evaluation is based on homework assignments, Quizzes, Lab work, midterm and final exams. Despite all what the above course description says this is a basic course on the principles of Computer Networking.
It is expected that after successful completion of the course students will be able to work in this challenging and developing field in a wide variety of positions as well as undertake further studies and research in the field.
