2 Part II Course Details 1. Abstract The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge of key technologies and protocols in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It will look at technologies which transform the Internet from its data-only roots to a true multi-service network that can handle voice, video and multimedia with comparable quality and reliability. 2. Course Intended Learning Outcomes (CILOs) (CILOs state what the student is expected to be able to do at the end of the course according to a given standard of performance.) No. CILOs # Weighting* (if applicable) 1. Recognize the design principles and the implementation issues of IP routing protocols as well as IPv6 Discovery-enriched curriculum related learning outcomes (please tick where appropriate) A1 A2 A3 2. Demonstrate the understanding of the principles for TCP and apply them to solve problems analytically 3. Recognize the design principles for providing quality of service in the Internet 4. Demonstrate the understanding of the principles for various application protocols 5. Apply network programming techniques to write some common application protocols * If weighting is assigned to CILOs, they should add up to 100%. 100% # Please specify the alignment of CILOs to the Gateway Education Programme Intended Learning outcomes (PILOs) in Section A of Annex. A1: Attitude Develop an attitude of discovery/innovation/creativity, as demonstrated by students possessing a strong sense of curiosity, asking questions actively, challenging assumptions or engaging in inquiry together with teachers. A2: Ability Develop the ability/skill needed to discover/innovate/create, as demonstrated by students possessing critical thinking skills to assess ideas, acquiring research skills, synthesizing knowledge across disciplines or applying academic knowledge to self-life problems. A3: Accomplishments Demonstrate accomplishment of discovery/innovation/creativity through producing /constructing creative works/new artefacts, effective solutions to real-life problems or new processes. 2

3 3. Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs) (TLAs designed to facilitate students achievement of the CILOs.) TLA Brief Description CILO No. Hours/week (if applicable) Lecture Two hour lecture per week is used to cover the subject material. Whenever possible, numerical examples and graphical illustrations will be provided to strength the students learning and understanding. 2 hrs/wk Tutorial Laboratory A one-hour tutorial in each week is used to apply the knowledge acquired in the lecture and to develop the related analytical skills. In tutorial sessions, students will have the chance to solve tutorial problems. Answer will be worked out by the students with the guidance given by the tutor. Simulating questions will be asked to enhanced students learning and understanding. Students perform hands-on tasks in laboratory exercise in order to strengthen students knowledge acquired in the lecture and apply network programming techniques to write some common application protocols. 1 hr/wk (9 wks) 3 hrs/wk (4 wks) 4. Assessment Tasks/Activities (ATs) (ATs are designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs.) Assessment Tasks/Activities CILO No. Weighting* Remarks Continuous Assessment: 30% Tests/at least 3 assignments (laboratory work, assignments, etc) 30% Examination: 70% (duration: 2hrs) * The weightings should add up to 100%. 100% Remark: To pass the course, students are required to achieve at least 30% in coursework and 30% in the examination. Also, 75% laboratory attendance rate must be obtained. 3

4 5. Assessment Rubrics (Grading of student achievements is based on student performance in assessment tasks/activities with the following rubrics.) Assessment Task Criterion Excellent (A+, A, A-) Good (B+, B, B-) Fair (C+, C, C-) Marginal (D) Failure (F) 1. Examination Achievements in High Significant Moderate Basic Not even reaching CILOs marginal levels 2. Coursework Achievements in CILOs High Significant Moderate Basic Not even reaching marginal levels 4

5 6. Constructive Alignment with Major Outcomes MILO How the course contribute to the specific MILO(s) 1 The application of mathematics, science and engineering is central to the aims of this course with the opportunity to apply these applications to the solution of engineering problems. 5 In the tutorial sessions, the students will be given the chance to formulate and solve some engineering problems in the related subject. 2,4,7,10 A four-session laboratory is scheduled to allow students to practice this type of work which is directly linked to the theory learnt during the lecture. Students will be given the chance to work in a group, apply network programming techniques to write some common application protocols, conduct some design tasks and interpret the results obtained. 5
