Prerequisites
Knowledge on Modulation and Coding and on Computer Networks
Cross Competence Component
The writing and team work skils will be valued through the project..
Laboratorial Component
There will be no lab classes.
Programming And Computing Component
Explain the computation and programming skills in 1st cycle UCs, as defined by the Computing and Programming Commission, indicating the percentage of its evaluation components that includes the analysis of computing and programming skills. Explain other computing and programming skills. This measure translates throughout the 1st cycle into at least 6 ECTS (in addition to 6 ECTS from the Basic Programming Concepts UC).
Ethical Principles
All members of a group are responsible for the group’s work In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used. In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
