This course equips learners with practical competencies in understanding, designing, and managing modern data communication systems and networks. Emphasis is placed on building foundational skills in data transmission, network architecture, protocol analysis, and network troubleshooting. Through hands-on tasks and real-world scenarios, learners will develop the ability to interpret network models (OSI and TCP/IP), configure basic network devices, identify and resolve connectivity issues, and ensure secure data flow across networks.
By the end of the course, learners will demonstrate proficiency in:
- Explaining core concepts of data communication and network topologies
- Mapping components of OSI and TCP/IP models to real-life applications
- Applying troubleshooting techniques to diagnose basic network problems
- Constructing simple LAN setups and configuring IP addressing schemes
- Evaluating the efficiency and security of different transmission media
Learner progress is assessed through performance-based tasks, practical demonstrations, and reflective portfolios to ensure mastery before progression.
