About this Coursework

The assessment of this unit is a coursework counting 100% towards the unit’s final mark. Students individually complete a network design problem based on a case study carried out unsupervised and tutor assessed. The work covers all Learning Outcomes. (Max 4000 words).

 Coursework Facilitator: Dr. Mo Adda

 

2. Learning Outcome

This coursework assesses ALL learning outcome found on the ADNET.DL Unit Specification. 

3. Coursework Objectives

• to formulate a reasoned response to a networking problem
• to become critically aware of some of the current problems and issues in network development and deal systematically with those issues.
• to apply a simple design approach to the development of a network solution
• to review the emerge of new wired and wireless networking technologies and identify the improvements
• to learn competence in the use internet resources to assist in the solution to a problem

4. Coursework Deliverables and Submission:

The completed coursework report must be submitted to the Moodle ADNET.DL drop box by the due date specified below and by a posting in the Moodle coursework discussion group.

The submitted coursework should be a single word-processed report about, and not exceeding, 4000 words in length divided into the following 3 tasks and each one includes a number of subtasks covering a specific topic area. The name of the tasks each task in the order indicated below corresponding approximately to assessment headings.  The tasks are:-

Task 1: Current wired infrastructure and recommended improvements/upgrades report

                Critical appraisal of the current wired network infrastructure

                Assumptions made for proposed network improvements/upgrades

                Issues influencing design

                Logical Design

                Physical Design

                Cost Estimates

Task 2: Provide wireless connectivity to the design department

                Viability of the proposed scheme

                Quality of service issues and error control in wireless links

                Improvement of the proposed wireless link

                Other technologies that could be deployed

                Wireless link throughput

Task 3: Warehouse connectivity, security issues and the Internet

                Connecting the warehouse with the main site

                Security risks and security mechanism to maintain confidentiality and integrity

                Provide Internet connectivity to the company

 

The report should have proper citations and references throughout using the Harvard APA reference
