The course is structures in the following subjects:
1. Traffic theory
2. Fundamentals of telephony
3. Access network
4. Digital switching
5. Operator network
6. Enterprise network
7. Real projects resolution
The course has 30 sessions of two hours each one. This course can be studied by two formats, depending on the preferences of the student: presential and semipresential. The main difference among two ways is the physical assistance of the pupil to the classroom. Depending on the subject to study, the methodology can be a mix of the following systems:
1. Theoretical classes
Leaded by masterly classes in the presential mode and by the studies guide in the semipresential mode. Particularly importants are the first sessions of each theme, where the basis are set. This classes could be given by means of traditional method or electronic presentations, specially the ones that contain an important quantity of graphics or schemes. In these cases, the presentations are available in the e-campus for the students.
2. Teaching material.
Useful for the presential and semipresential mode, it consist of teacher notes, exercises collections, solved exercises collections, real projects, suggested books and web references.
3. Research works and resolution of practice cases.
We encourage the learning in the access to the new technologies, essential method in a changing market such as the TIC, and the understanding and analysis of the telephony market consolidating the acquired knowledge in the theoretical classes. The works can be made individually or in team, and can be mandatory or optional.
4. Leaded classes, teacher presentations and work team presentations.
In the case of the semipresential students, these classes must be given in a mandatory way in the presential meetings set in the scheduling. By means of these classes the practice cases are introduced, analysed and exercised, suggesting different ways of resolution. The students must consolidate their knowledge developing a technologic and economic judgement that lead them to find the most efficient solution.
5. Monitoring and student attention.
By means of class answer, doubts scheduling, email. In the semipresential mode, must be high importance the e-campus and the virtual forums. We promote their use with the publication of news, problems, questions, and valuing the most important contributions of the students.
6. Auto-guiding methods for the student
o Ability to understand the problems
o Ability to understand alternative solutions
o Expositions and forums
o Autoevaluation questions in the semipresential mode
A. Exams
The course has a final exam.
C. Quizzes
Semipresential students have to answer at the end of each session a quizz which allows them (and the teacher) to test their understanding of the subject.
D. Homework
Resolution of the proposed exercise in class. It will be valuated the bibliography and references (manufacturers, telecom operators, etc.) found by the student. It will be valuated too the way of solution and the final analysis. The answer must be given in electronic document.
F. Working team.
Resolution of practice cases in class. It will be valuated the bibliography and references (manufacturers, telecom operators, etc.) found by the student and the way of solution and the final analysis. Finally It will be valuated too the participation in class and the economical judgements.
I. Presentations
The works can be exposed in class or upload to the e-campus.
J. Classroom and forum participation
The evaluation of classroom participation is subjective and is applied via slight improvements of the marks of students who have distinguished themselves by their active classroom participation (or its semipresential equivalent through online forum activity, questions, assistance to presential or online meetings, etc), provided that the teacher believes that the exam marks do not match the work and the knowledge shown by the student in the classroom
The marks for the Transmisión Through Physical Media course are obtained as the arithmetic mean between the marks of the two parts of the course (High Frequency Circuits and Telephony), provided the marks for each part are greater of equal to five.
