Part of the module will be concentrating on introducing principles of the wireless communications, focusing on the physical layer and the MAC layer. The module will also cover the existing technologies and will also introduce you with emerging technologies.
Logical & problem solving skills have an important role in Information Technology (IT) or Computer Science as it helps develop the ability to solve problems, build logic databases and logic gates, and design programs. Computer programs are written in special, symbolic languages, e.g., FORTRAN, C++, Lisp, and Prolog. These languages contain features of logical symbolism, and Lisp and Prolog are derived from formal languages for logic. Through such connections, the study of logic can help one in the design of programs. Computer science is not just programming. It includes the logical and mathematical analysis of programs. With such analyses, one can prove the correctness of procedures and estimate the number of steps required to execute a specified program. Modern logic is used in such work, and it is incorporated into programs that help construct proofs of such results. Logic also has a role in the design of new programming languages, and it is necessary for work in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Some parts of logic are used by engineers in circuit design. To cover the topics specified on the teaching outline (p. 7), this module introduces key topics in Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Boolean algebra, Mathematical Logic, Logic, Finite Mathematics, and Mobilizing Creativity and Innovation.

Introduction:
This module builds the necessary expertise to deal with crucial issues in network security, which is one of the most important aspects in information technology. Any IT professional should be aware of contemporary security issues and how to deal with them. Networking professionals have the challenging role of securing the network infrastructure they are responsible for, and must have a proactive approach to deal with expected threats.
This module enables students to analyze new network technologies, which are a vital input to the process of wealth creation in a networked world. The module mainly concentrates on various emerging technology enablers and culminates in a discussion of the potential business impact of these technologies in the near future.
Mathematics has an important role in Information Technology (IT) as it helps develop the ability to formalize problems. It is a guideline to represent complex problems using equations and prove or perceive a solution. It also plays a significant role in computing, designing, and developing efficient algorithms. This module introduces key topics in Statistics, Discrete Mathematics and Linear Algebra. Statistics helps develop skills required for data representation, analysis, and decision-making, while discrete Mathematics strengthens the logical aspect of problem solving.
