Luento-, harjoitus- ja itseopiskelumateriaalit. Saatavilla OMA:ssa.

Teaching methods

Kurssilla on yksi luento, jossa käydään läpi tietoliikennetekniikan perusteita. Kenttäväylien ja tietoverkkojen eri osa-alueiden perusteet opitaan omatoimisesti, annetun itseopiskelumateriaalin perusteella.

Kurssin käytännön harjoittelu painottuu PC-harjoituksiin ja labratyöskentelyyn.
