Fundamentals of Computer Networks and Security
(24th May - 02nd June, 2017)
Organized through NKN
by
Electronics & ICT Academies
IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IIITDM Jabalpur, MNIT Jaipur, NIT Patna & NIT Warangal
Preamble: “Electronics & ICT Academy” is an initiative of MeitY, MCIT, GoI set up at some selected institutes in India. Such academies at IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IIITD&M Jabalpur, MNIT Jaipur, NIT Patna and NIT Warangal together conduct a 10-day Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on Fundamentals of Computer Networks and Security during 24th May – 02nd June, 2017. Experts from IITs, NITs, IIITs and other premier institutes will deliver lectures through National Knowledge Network (NKN) and participants at above stated institutes can interactively learn from these lectures. In addition, local course coordinators at respective institutes will take care of practical and practice sessions. Each E&ICT Academy is given with some jurisdiction states in India. The role of academies are to offer faculty development programmes in standardized courses and emerging areas of Computer Science, Electronics, Information Communication Technologies; training & consultancy services for Industry; Curriculum development for Industry; CEP for working professionals; Advice and support for technical incubation and entrepreneurial activities.
About Fundamentals of Computer Networks and Security course: Computer Network and Security is a core course in Computer Science & Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering. In 80 hours, during ten days, this FDP covers Introduction to Data Communication, protocols, principles of network application, design aspect of DNS, Email, TCP/IP, Design of TCP/UDP, IP address design, different routing algorithm, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, RARP, security issues at different layers of protocols. In addition, soft skills, pedagogical principles and case study presentations by participants are also part of this programme. Pointers to some research issues will also be provided. Though Computer Network and Security course is widely offered through various modes, this FDP through NKN set the objectives to train the faculty to teach the course with deeper understanding of all the concepts with gained practical exposure. Rich experience of the speakers at premier institutes will make the participants to feel the difference.
Participants are encouraged to list their expectations in their e-mail to the Global Coordinator.
