NUST eLearning

This course aims at providing the students with the understanding of elements and technologies used by carrier networks (ISP) to provide services such as telephony, Internet and television to individuals. The course also addresses the problem of external routing and the implementation of quality of service by resource reservation or by traffic engineering in the networks. 

The course is designed to enable you to effectively manage the full scope of any project to be initiated in the correctional services environment. Emphasis is on developing the student’s proactive planning, organisational, and communication capabilities throughout all project development and implementation stages. The course provides strategies for both managing tasks (i.e., establishing timetables, identifying resources, monitoring progress, implementation and evaluation) and leading people (i.e., establishing accountability, sustaining momentum, communicating effectively). Concepts are integrated through a final project in which students develop a comprehensive plan to implement a correctional initiative that embraces all significant project management principles addressed in this course.
