The Work Based Learning - Professional Network Engineering Masters enables you to gain in-depth knowledge and skills in a range of advanced topics in network engineering through work-based learning. You will have the opportunity to use a combination of general and specialist computer communications and management knowledge and understanding to apply an existing or emerging technology to the solution of a practical problem.
This work-based coursee enables professionals in the network engineering field to gain credit for their accumulated knowledge and skills to assist with career development. Work Based Learning is an innovative way of providing high quality university-level learning in the workplace. Learning is based at, and centred in, the working environment, so you can use academic concepts and theories to inform your work and professional practice, providing direct benefits to you and the employer.
Contents
There are four taught modules, which are followed by an independent project.
Modules
* Recognition and Accreditation of Learning (RAL)
The aim of this module is for the student to review and reflect on past and current learning experiences and develop a portfolio in which this learning is evidenced. This module will assist the student to identify critique and use of a wide range of evidence often in an innovative way, to underpin learning. Input is provided on identifying and evaluating prior and work based learning; learning and reflection; portfolio planning, construction and presentation.
* Programme Planning
Through the responsibility for planning and negotiating a programme of study, students will develop a critical understanding of their position and identity as work based learners. Students will explore what it means to be a work based learner; the main principles of work based learning; experiential learning; designing a study programme; evaluation and reflection upon work based learning goals.
* Research Methods
To develop critical awareness of research and development issues in the work place; to reflect upon the position of the worker researcher and the ethical issues involved; to develop a work based research project proposal supported by a critical commentary and other output demonstrating engagement and developing understanding of work based research.
* Internetworking, Distributed Systems and Services
This module looks at the design, implementation, performance, and security of distributed systems and services. It examines concepts such as a network operating system and explores networking paradigms including socket and thread-based programming, Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), CORBA, .NET and Java RMI. It also explores the design and implementation of global services such as web servers and Grid Computing. It then looks at service platforms and security mechanisms to protect distributed environments.
* Postgraduate Project in Computer Communications
This project gives the student the opportunity to use a combination of general and specialist computer communications knowledge and understanding to apply an existing or emerging technology to the solution of a practical problem. Or students can contribute to and extend the theoretical understanding of new and advancing technology and its application. The project also gives students the opportunity to demonstrate a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment.
* Assessment:
You will be assessed through a combination of coursework, presentations, a project and unseen examinations.
