Course history

Introduction

This course gives students hands-on experience in the design, configuration and troubleshooting of networks. This course is rooted in a theoretical and technical overview of the field. General understanding of all layers of the networking stack is required. However, the focus is mainly on networking, i.e. how to make networks work and how to keep them working. Thus, routing, switching and services that support networking (e.g. DHCP and DNS) are core topics. Furthermore, the course focuses on large-scale scenarios where networking can be challenging.

This course has a limited number of spaces. A maximum of 22 students will be admitted on a first come, first served basis.

Required preliminary courses

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Teaching and learning methods

Knowledge

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  • have advanced knowledge of novel theories and methods for a specific robotics and control application
  • knowledge in practical aspects for the development work.

Skills

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:

  • can assess suitability of different theories and methods for the specific robotics and control application
  • can apply novel theories and methods for the specific robotics and control system
  • can design and implement the chosen algorithms, software and hardware for the specific robotics and control application.

General competence

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:

  • can analyze, present and debate the possible novel solutions for a robotics and control project in light of the theoretical and practical approaches

Course requirements

This course will feature weekly lectures and laboratory work to provide both theoretical and hands-on experience. The course responsible will introduce the project topic at the beginning of the semester. The project work will be carried out in groups of a size suited for the assignment (between 2 and 6 students) and focused around the relevant laboratories at OsloMet. The student will supplement the lectures and laboratory work with their own reading and project work.

Assessment

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

  • Four assignments in groups (1000 - 2000 words per assignment).

Permitted exam materials and equipment
