To introduce interesting subjects in telecommunication. To introduce students to studying at DTU and show project based teaching
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Understand the structure of DTU studies
Know the posssibilities for studying as an International student at DTU-Fotonik
Know simple characteristics and elements of optical communication
Know how to use the OPNET tool for simple modelling and simulation of a communication network
Know coding technologies for video
Organize the cooperation in a heterogeneous group
Evaluate and provide constructive criticism for other's work
Present a project in English
Kursusindhold:
The course starts with an introduction to DTU and DTU Fotonik. The emphasis is on study elements relevant for future guest and MSc. students. The research and facilities of DTU Fotonik are also presented. The course is then composed of two projects each of six days of work ending with delivery of a report and a presentation. The projects are: - Modelling and simulation of a communication network - Coding of video - Optical transmission systems sources and amplification - High-speed optical network systems and next generation optical access systems. The students choose individually two of these projects, and depending on the project structure, they are divided into groups of 2-6 students. During the six days of work, the theory is lectured and the student is to carry out an experiment or an implementation including testing. Each project ends with writing a report.
Bemærkninger:
The credit points for the course will count if the student is admitted to the DTU at a later date. The course is acknowledged as a prerequisite for the International MSc in Telecommunication. The summer university is primarily for international students from within the European Union.
