In this unit students will acquire advanced theoretical knowledge and critical analytical skills which can be applied to investigation and resolution of complex problem solving scenarios. The unit material has been developed to enhance students’ communication skills, individual and group project participation and other professional capabilities important to practice as a Network Engineer. The material taught introduces students to simulation procedures inherent in Network modelling. All students are expected to master MATLAB's more advanced algorithms and its application in the design and simulation of vertical as well as horizontal structured networks. At a more advanced level, students will be expected to master and use OPNET and other industry standard simulation tools and their general application in all types of network configurations.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
A pass in all items is required to complete the unit
Required readings will be made available on VU Collaborate.
This unit is not compulsory for any specific course. Depending on the course you study, this unit may be taken as an elective.
