Description |
| ITMSPROJECTS | PROJECT | The purpose of this unit is to provide the student with opportunities to apply the theoretical aspects of their computing or mathematics studies in a practical application in the development of a significant project. Where appropriate, students will be encouraged to do a project in one of the discipline areas of their elective studies. Students normally work in teams on real project for clients from within the university and local community. |
| ITECH6502 | DATA COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT | Data Communications Management is not a technical networking Unit. This unit sets out to give you a conceptual understanding of computer networks, and the ways that they are currently used, that will enable you to manage the technical network staff that install and configure networks. You will be led through the design of computer networks and the selection of equipment to implement them and extensive use will be made of case studies. |
| ITECH3202 | DATABASE DESIGN | This unit is intended to enable the student to design a relational database from a problem description and then implement their design. Students will be provided with the skills and knowledge of the way in which Database Systems are designed and implemented. They will gain the ability to design a solution to particular information problems and the skills to implement this solution in a database management software tool. |
| ITECH1003 | NETWORK PROTOCOLS & SERVICES | This unit provides students with a conceptual understanding of local and wide area computer networks. It also requires students to use a range of applications and utilities that demonstrate the use of the services provided by networks. |
| ITECH2108 | ADVANCED NETWORK SERVICES | The computing needs of modern organisations dictate that users have access to a combination of Internet (global) and Intranet (local) services. These are provided through Network Operating Systems which in turn rest heavily upon a growing set of Network Services. These services are usually built upon, or are enhancements of, standard Internet facilities. Students in this unit will learn to install, configure and interoperate a variety of services on one, or more, operating system platforms. The goal will be to understand the interactions that lead to a mature connectivity within an organisation. |
| STATS1000 | STATISTICAL METHODS | This unit introduces students to the full range of descriptive statistical techniques, and also introduces the key concepts underlying statistical inference. A wide range of basic inferential techniques are introduced. Data from various disciplinary contexts is utilised, and there is a strong emphasis on computing skills, interpretation of computer output and communication of statistical results and conclusions. |
| ITECH2113 | NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMS INTERNALS | The effective deployment, and ongoing functioning, of a Network Operating System requires an understanding of what is happening beneath the surface in the Operating System. This unit leads students into specific aspects of operating system design and relates them to the practice of one or more current Network Operating Systems. Issues such as memory management, process control, file system design and a layered service architecture will be studied. Particular attention will be paid to the way in which a layered architecture underpins the interoperation of distinctive protocols and platforms. |
| STATS1900 | BUSINESS STATISTICS | This unit covers simple and compound interest, time value of money, annuities, present and future values, data classification and terminology, describing and displaying data, probability and probability distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing, linear regression and correlation, index numbers and time series, computer analysis of data using MINITAB and EXCEL. |
| ITECH1002 | NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMS | This unit will give students an understanding of the security models provided by the major operating systems involved in modern computer networks. Students of this unit will gain a critical understanding of how the main models differ, and are similar, in their approach to controlling access to resources. This unit will enable students to play an intelligent role in the selection, design and implementation of secure network installations. |
| ITECH2102 | DIGITAL IMAGE MANIPULATION | The unit explores current digital technology, image manipulation, photo retouching and the creation of original artwork using image manipulation software. Students will get extensive exposure to software that explores all areas associated with the manipulation of digital images allowing them to become skilled in this area. |
