Description

Optional subject framed in the block of the mention in Intelligent Manufacturing in Industry 4.0, an eminently practical approach aimed at entering the world of digital communications and cybersecurity, both in terms of communications and information systems in general and information management itself.

In the first part he introduces the student to the world of communications. The basic components of a communications system, its mission and implementation are presented. Emphasis is placed on IP systems, and specifically on the TCP / IP communication stack. Some of the usual services are analyzed (mail, web, DNS, DHCP, ...)

Then the mechanisms and protocols for network management and the design of corporate solutions will be analyzed.

Evaluation system

In order to pass (pass) the assessment activities, students must demonstrate:

  • That they have acquired the theoretical knowledge related to the contents of the subject and that their understanding allows them to put them into practice [MECES-2 point a, point c]
  • That they can develop solutions to problems that, although they may be similar to others seen above, present aspects that are new [MECES-2 point f]

The weight of each of the activities in the final evaluation of the subject is indicated below.

  1. 15% Written Test
  2. Simulation Practices 25%
  3. Internships with emulated environments 20%
  4. Presentations 10%
  5. Group work 10%
  6. Challenges 20%

All grades are required. Theoretical exams can be retaken.

For the written tests, the average of the tests must have a minimum rating of 3,5. If the grade is lower than 3.5 then the final grade of the subject will be that of the written tests.
