Course Overview

This course provides a foundational understanding of data communication and computer networking principles. Staff will explore the essential concepts, protocols, and technologies that enable data transmission across networks. The course covers both theoretical fundamentals and practical applications, preparing learners for further studies in networking or related IT fields.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, staff will be able to:

  • Understand the basic principles of data communication and networking.

  • Explain the functions of different network components (routers, switches, hubs, etc.).

  • Describe the OSI and TCP/IP reference models and their layers.

  • Identify different types of networks (LAN, WAN, MAN, WLAN) and their topologies.

  • Analyze transmission media (wired and wireless) and their characteristics.

  • Comprehend key networking protocols (TCP, UDP, IP, HTTP, FTP, etc.).

  • Recognize the importance of network security and basic troubleshooting techniques.
