Learning Outcomes
CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2: Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CG1: Ability to write, develop and sign projects in the area of telecommunications engineering aimed at the design, development and utilization of telecommunications and electronic networks, services and applications, in accordance with the competences acquired in the degree program, as set out in Section 5 of the corresponding mandate. ECRT2: Ability to use communication and IT applications (office technology, databases, advanced calculus, project management, project visualization, etc.) to support development and use of telecommunication and electronics networks, services and applications. ECRT7: Knowledge and use of the fundamentals of programming in telecommunication networks, systems and services. RA1: To acquire the knowledge and understanding of the general basic fundamentals of engineering, as well as, in particular, of multimedia communications networks and services, audio and video signal processing, room acoustic control, distributed multimedia systems and interactive multimedia applications specific to Sound and Image Engineering within the telecommunications family. RA5: Be competent to apply the knowledge acquired to solve problems and design audiovisual networks and services, to configure their devices, as well as to deploy adaptive, personal audiovisual applications and services on them, bringing network intelligence to the value for the user, maximising the potential of multimedia networks and services in the different social and economic spheres, knowing the environmental, commercial and industrial implications of the practice of engineering in accordance with professional ethics. RA6: To be fluent in the performance of the generic skills that graduates require for the practice of engineering in today's society, which includes being able to develop effective oral and written communication, work in a multidisciplinary and team framework, and maintain professional competence through continuous learning throughout their lives. They also include demonstrating awareness of the responsibility of engineering practice, social and environmental impact, and commitment to professional ethics, responsibility and standards of engineering practice. They also include knowledge of business and project management practices, as well as risk management and control, and an understanding of their limitations.
Description of contents: programme
- Introduction to the Linux operating system, user and developer views - Scheduling tasks with shell script - Administration tools on a Linux system - Network configuration on Linux systems - Network services administration in Linux - Network security on Linux systems
Learning activities and methodology
All the activities will be carried out with a virtual machine that will be made available to the students. This subject is eminently practical, so brief theoretical explanations and their implementation by the students will be intertwined during the teaching of the class.
