Let me briefly introduce CS231

CS231 is a code of a bachelor programme offered at the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, UiTM. The programme named Bachelor of Science (Hons) (Netcentric Computing). The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the principles and applications of computer networks. This area has been witnessing huge advancement, especially in wireless networks, 3G cellular networks, Bluetooth, WAP and others. This course introduces the use of computer networks, networking hardware and software. This course also covers the physical, data link, network, transport, the protocol suite and the application layers. Network security is to be briefly introduced. The programme has the objectives to produce graduates with strong principles of netcentric that lead to and sustain a productive netcentric career with effective communication, interpersonal and management skills, with professional attitude and ethics who will provide significant contribution for the benefit of humanity with good leadership qualities and team working who are adaptable and adequately prepared to join the local as well as the global workforce with technopreneurship capability with problem solving and critical thinking skills. At the end of this course the students are expected to be able to classify computer networks, explain the networking layered architectures, describe different physical media and systems that can be used for transmission at the physical layer of networks, apply framing at the data link layer level, describe simple data link layer protocols, differentiate between different networking devices, such as, hubs, bridges, switches, routers, and gateways, apply simple routing algorithms, explain network addresses, describe different network services, practice network programming. Netcentric Computing covers a range of specialties within computing, including computer communication, network concepts and protocols, web standards and technologies, network security, wireless and mobile computing, and distributed systems development, including web-based systems. Our world runs on networks: local area wired networks, wireless networks, phone networks and the Internet. Any systematic study of computing needs to be done within this netcentric context. This degree covers all the fundamentals of computing, but in conjunction with networks. The degree is not only for those who want to study networks; it is for all students who want to study information and communications technology, now and into the future. The programme combines data communications and software development to produce internet applications. Students study the core concepts of networking and operating systems, going on to learn aspects of network security, advanced networking technologies, and the analysis and design of network protocols. In the end, graduates will be able to create internet-worked applications, understand the links between net-centric functions and their contexts, and know about the latest netcentric architectures and tools.
