    7. Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge Students will learn the architecture of state of the art optical fiber based telecommunications systems, its features and design principles. The critical features of optical telecommunications equipment and networks are presented together with the design methods used in optical networks. The main areas of application are backbone, metro and access networks capable of providing IP-based broadband services. In these networks next generation optical services can be provisioned, on which new applications can be built. These require new solutions, algorithms from the control and management plane, and from the network operation point of view; the goal is to demonstrate these innovations for the students.

    9. Method of instruction

    Two hours of classroom lecture weekly and two hours of classroom practice every two weeks.The lectures are complemented by practical case studies and design examples on classroom practices.

    10. Assessment a. During the semester: one mid-term exam, at least with grade 2, to get signature.  The result does not count into the final exam.
    b. In the examination period: written exam
    c. Pre-exam: a written examination; condition: at least grade 3 for the mid-term exam

    11. Recaps

    Failed or missed mid-term exam can be repeated once in the supplemental period.

    12. Consultations

    On demand consultation after the lessons, or by appointment.
