Hores setmanals

Objectius

1. L'objectiu principal és entendre els conceptes bàsics de l'arquitectura de les xarxes de computadors, els principis de disseny dels principals algorismes i funcions de la xarxa.
   Competències relacionades: CG1, CG3, CEE2.2, CEE2.3, CEE2.1, CB6, CB7, CTR4, CTR5, CTR6, CG5,
2. Les sessions de debat es basen en una selecció d'articles i promouen l'aprenentatge autònom i el treball en equip.
   Competències relacionades: CEE2.2, CEE2.3, CEE2.1, CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CTR3, CTR4, CTR6,
