* Expert Diploma (21 credits): First 7 subjects or select 7 subjects from this module.
* Bachelor's Degree (130 credits): The Admission certificate issued after submission of the application for admission will show the amount of credit transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete this undergraduate program's major. Additional courses from other modules of this faculty will be assigned in case that the credits displayed on this module are not enough to complete the bachelor's required credits.
* Master's Degree (35 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 13 credits corresponding to a final project to the selected subjects.
* Ph.D. (Doctor) (45 credits): Select from 3 to 9 subjects from this module depending on the amount of credits transferred from previous education and experience. Add 18 credits corresponding to a final thesis to the selected subjects.
BIU issues an admission certificate after receiving your complete application for admission. This document will show the amount of credits transferred and validated from previous education and experience, and the amount of credits required to complete the degree program's major. BIU can not perform this evaluation without the complete application for admission.
Courses Description (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
Computer Science
This course provides broad coverage of the entire computer science discipline from a generic perspective, rather than from the context of one particular programming language. It is suitable for students in all fields who are interested in learning how computers work, how they are built and how they communicate with other computers and with their human users.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Computer Networks
This course surveys modern computer networking and data communications, emphasizing the principles underlying the design of network language and the role of the communications system in distributed computing. Topics include routing, flow, congestion control, data representation and communication protocols and client-server programming.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Internet Technology
This course provides a study of the architecture, utilities, services, and protocols of the Internet and World Wide Web. Topics will include markup languages (e.g. HTML), data location resources (e.g. search engines and agents), web page management, scripting languages, TCP/IP, IP routing and servers, reliability, security, electronic commerce, and virtual worlds.
Instructor: Ricardo Miralles
Web Administration & Security
This course shows how to administer a network, setup a server for a network and an Internet environment, design and implement cabling for a network, troubleshoot network security problems related to e-commerce, and how to use networking protocols, TCP/IP architecture and security essentials to include authentication, encryption, and firewalls.
Instructor: Ricardo Miralles
Data Communications
This course covers the main concepts and components of data communications, and in particular it covers modern communication standards, protocol systems and their implementation, and transmission technology. It also examines the principles of complex networks: Open System Interconnection (OSI), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and Local Area Networks (LANs).
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Server & Distributed Systems
This course explains network server administration, installation and configuration including troubleshooting, maintenance, and support of network systems. It shows distributed systems in applications such as data bases, computers networks and communication, and operating systems.
Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano
Local / Wide Area Networks
This course examines Local and Wide Area Networks technology (LAN & WAN), including topologies, communications media and protocols, interfacing equipment, hardware and software. It works on problems of planning, designing, installing and maintaining local and wide area networks.
Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano
Network Software Design
This course deals with the principles of network software design and its effects on network performance. It explains specific software associated with telecommunication networks, network software functionality, and approaches for assessing and optimizing software and network performance including modeling, simulation, and direct measurements.
Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano
Telecommunication Systems
This course concentrates on the analysis and verification of telecommunication systems and protocols. It begins with analog communication systems such AM and FM, followed by digital communications. In addition, it studies the effects of different transmission technologies on telecommunications.
Instructor: Jose A. Cordova
Telecommunication Networks
This course examines ordinary, single user, point-to-point communication systems and their juxtaposition to those involved in multi-user systems, satellite systems, radio networks, and computer networks. It presents architectures and protocols for telecommunication networks.
Instructor: Alvaro Venegas Zamorano
Network Systems Management
This course will give students the skills and knowledge to management a network system using the following task: integrate diverse network clients, design an internetwork using TCP/IP protocol, change a LAN to an intranet, centrally distribute software upgrades to servers and clients and prepare for emerging technology capabilities.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Data Security & Cryptography
This course deals with data communication security techniques and data encryption. It presents encryption, the security of cryptosystems, the authentication of people and systems, signature schemes, access controls, and message integrity. It considers data security advantages and limitations, and the added complexities of control in distributed systems and networks.
Instructor: Patrice Boisseau
Cyberspace Law
This course focuses on the legal issues confronting participants in Cyberspace. Whether viewed as Virtual Space, the Internet or simply the Web, Cyberspace promotes a most challenging interaction of law, public policy, technology and markets. In a provided context of cyber culture and technology, this course examines the key contemporary procedural and issues including jurisdiction, governmental regulation of pornography and indecency, privacy, intellectual property and evolving Internet commerce. It also focuses on the investigation and prosecution of computer crimes.
