ECET 4640 - Computer Networking

Credit Hours: 4

This course involves the electronic hardware of networking systems such as those used to connect heterogeneous computers. Major topics include locality, topologies, media standards, Internet working devices and protocols. Hands-on application of network theory is provided via a laboratory-style term project involving a multi-user network computer system. The student will design and develop the hardware and communication software required to implement access to a network-available, shared resource. Three lecture-hours and three laboratory-hours per week.
