Course Overview

The course is one of the three parts in which the A system view of communications: From signals to packet (Part 3) certification course is divided. The course deals with answering the questions on how information is transmitted in mobile phones or a wifi hotspot. As the course is divided into three parts, the learners can learn the other parts as well for a complete or overall understanding. Part 3 mainly focuses on the transmission of data or information from one network to another and how it connects multiple stations. Here, productive and effective solutions are thought of for overcoming challenges and developing intuition.

A system view of communications: From signals to packet (Part 3) certification course is inspired and developed from the 6.02 Digital Communication Systems course. Its origin is MIT. This course is an introductory course as it focuses on the mathematical aspects of the engineering communication system. In part 3, the transmission of the network is analysed such as the internet.

The certificate for the course is very valuable and highly marketable. The candidates can put the certificate in their CV or resume. It can be shared on Linkedin where new connections with better career prospects can take place. The candidates can learn at their own pace if they select either of the two available tracks namely the audit and verified track. Students will get limited access if they have selected the audit track and in case they have selected the verified track, they will receive unlimited access to the course materials.
