Aims and objectives

This unit of study aims to provide you with the basic skills to use the Internet and associated technologies to connect devices in an online network, as is required in many modern Engineering applications. This includes mechanisms to take advantage of globally connected services and an introduction to Cybersecurity considerations.
 
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO) 
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to: 
 
1. Use the OSI Model to discuss network design and infrastructure (K3, S3) 
2. Design an addressing scheme to subnet a network to given specifications (K2, K3, S3) 
3. Characterise the operation of the Internet to enable communications between online services (A2, A4, K3) 
4. Construct a simple network of PCs, switches and a router, and troubleshoot problems in those networks (A7, K3, S1, S2, S3) 
5. Assess Cybersecurity issues with Internet based Engineering applications (A2, K3, K4, K5, S2)
