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.

This course is about the fundamentals of pastry, bakery and desserts preparation in a commercial environment. It will expose you to important aspects that you need to know to successfully run a catering outlet in a hospitality establishment. However, it should be stressed that this course only covers the theoretical aspects and need to be taught concurrently with the course Applied Culinary Arts 1: Pastry, Bakery and Desserts ACP 610S which solely takes place in the kitchen. Without doing the practical course at the same time, which will apply all the knowledge and skills learned in this course a full comprehension of the course will not be reached. You would agree that you cannot bake “with a book and a pen” as you need to go into a kitchen and really do it.

This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the underlying principles as well as the design, implementation and operation of both fixed and wireless networks. The course will also expose students to practical network environments through the configuration and troubleshooting of network topologies using network simulation tools.
