COMMUNICATION 633: TELECOMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURE
    Instructor: Dr. Dan J. Wedemeyer
    General Description of Course
This is a socio-technical graduate-level course designed to develop a problem-oriented and a critical understanding of ICT (Information and Communications Technologies) and telecommunication architectures (technologies, linkages, controls, evolutions, impacts, etc.) as an area of study and work. Telecommunication as defined here, follows the ITU definition and includes wireless/broadcasting (radio, television, cellular, etc.) as well as services carried over light fibers, wire and other electromagnetic systems. Telecommunication architecture means the defined structure or orderly arrangement of telecommunication and information systems in society. It is based upon accepted standards and societal guidelines (policies) for maximizing the information, efficiency and effectiveness of such systems and for the users to share societal communication/information resources. After completing this course the student will more clearly understand, through various "active learning" and problem-oriented strategies, selected telecommunication/ICT technologies and networks as well as key economic, political and social issues/subsystems
    Objectives:
  • To systematically study selected telecommunication and ICT dimensions and associated problems and possibilities;
  • To understand the basic models theories, technical terms and concepts central to ICT and telecommunication developments and uses in society; and,
  • To demonstrate content and research methods competence by conducting ICT and Telecom Architectures consulting studies on selected telecommunication economic, social policy and technical developments.
