APS-5100 Project Management for TechnologyThis course introduces project management from the standpoint of a manager who must organize, plan, implement, and control tasks to achieve an organization's schedule, budget, and performance objectives. Tools and concepts such as project charter, scope statement, work breakdown structure, project estimating, and scheduling methodologies are studied. Students will practice with Microsoft Project software to be able to manage a project from start to deployment. What is a project? How is it managed? What is the best approach? This course will answer those questions and many more. This is an opportunity to learn the project management fundamentals that can guide a project through a maze of challenges to successful completion. Successful projects do not occur by luck or by chance. In fact, many projects do not achieve their organization's goals.

NET-5620 Wireless and Mobile NetworksWireless networking is a framework for using radio signals to transmit data between various devices and systems. A mobile network or cellular network is a wireless network designed to use radio signals for data over a wide geographic area. Telecommunications companies have installed cellular voice and data networks over most of the populated areas of the planet thus allowing mobile phones and other wireless devices to be connected to the public switched telephone network and public internet from almost anywhere on the globe. In this course students will explore the design and implementation of wireless and mobile networks. Topics covered include: Bluetooth, induction wireless, infrared wireless (IrDA), ultra wideband (UWB), microwave, Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS), FSO (free space optics), Wi-Fi, WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), satellite, cellular networks, Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), 3G and 4G (third and fourth generation mobile network), wireless and mobile security, global area networks (GAN), and sensor networks.

NET-5630 Pervasive and Cloud ComputingThe goal of pervasive computing, which combines network technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition, internet capability, and artificial intelligence, is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that it is unobtrusive and always active. Pervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal computers or the internet. At its core is the notion that almost any device, be it clothing or tools or appliances or a body or a toothbrush, can be embedded with chips that connect the device to a vast network of other devices. Cloud computing, on the other hand, focuses on the use of shared resources to achieve computational coherence and economies of scale. Similar to utility computing and edge computing, cloud computing has at its core the management of a converged infrastructure and shared services. In this course students will explore the various computing models, operational frameworks, and technologies that are used to implement pervasive and cloud systems. Topics will include: personal area network (PAN), distributed computing, grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, cloud characteristics, cloud service models, cloud deployment models (public, private, hybrid, federated, reservoir), architectures, cloud security, and fog computing (federated cloud).

NET-5640 Large-Scale Network Operations, Administration, and MaintenanceNetwork operations centers (NOC) are the command and control hubs used to manage network resources in large networks. NOC personnel are concerned with the operation, administration, and maintenance of these systems. Operation pertains to keeping the network up and running efficiently. This includes monitoring the network to identify and resolve issues as soon as possible. Administration involves keeping track of resources in the network and how they are allocated. It includes all the day-to-day detail work needed to control the network. Maintenance is concerned with performing repairs and upgrades as well as corrective and preventive measures to make the managed network operate more efficiently. In this course, students will develop the knowledge and skills in network management to allow them to control, plan, allocate, deploy, coordinate, and monitor network resources. Topics include network planning, frequency allocation, predetermined traffic routing to support load balancing, cryptographic key distribution authorization, configuration management, fault management, security management, performance management, bandwidth management, route analytics, and accounting management.
