About this Course

Awarded by Informatics Academy 

The Advanced Diploma in Network Engineering provides students with strong academic knowledge in the areas of computing with specialization in designing and implementation of both wired and wireless networks. The course has been developed to meet the professional and academic needs of graduates of the International Advanced Diploma in Network Engineering in order that they may have a common knowledge of the digital tools that will be used to support their creative works. 

Programme Module Synopsis :

Intranet Technologies And Architecture

This unit introduces new technologies and background information (such as basic networking, including protocols and physical infrastructure) necessary for using network computer devices. It also provides theoretical and practical aspects of designing and administering networks. The module shows the students how to physically connect computers and other devices to a network and access peripherals such as printers over the network. 

Network Management And Troubleshooting Techniques

The module focuses on the network troubleshooting techniques using both hardware and software. It also provides understanding of types of protocols. Students will also learn how to rectify network configuration problems and other commonly encountered network problems. They will be effectively exposed to network management principles and techniques for SNMP, MIB, and RMON operations.

Wireless Network Deployment Management

This module introduces the concept of wireless networking which contributes to the sense of freedom and mobility that wireless technology brings to users. At the same time, wireless also connotes something difficult to control and protect. It covers the range of security threats endemic to wireless technologies, including eavesdropping, wireless denial-of-service attacks and various encryption issues

Software Engineering

This unit will cover the principles of software engineering, software life cycle, formal methods and software quality assurance techniques. 

Networks And The Internet 

The goal of this introductory course is to help students cope with the revolution by providing a conceptual understanding of standard technologies used today in networking for computer communications. This course is structured along the lines of the four layers Arpanet communication architecture: Application, Transport, Network and Physical.

Discrete Mathematics

This module develops the mathematics needed to underpin the computing modules. 

Computer Architecture And Data Communication 

This unit gives an overview of computer hardware data communication and networking technology.

Information Management

This unit provides student with a blend of both information systems management concepts as well as data centre management concepts.
