The Centre for Continuing Education at Concordia University provides part-time employment to a range of subject-matter experts to teach in short-target courses and programs. Teaching tasks include the preparation of course and course plan, delivery of course, evaluating student performance and grading student work and grade submission. Instructors attend departmental meetings and attend professional development training activities related to the program.
In this course, students will learn the development and operation of computer networks covering data communication and network information. Then it moves onto communication architectures and protocol layering to prepare the ground for computer networking software, services and protocols. This course is supported by lab work, which includes computer networks. It uses tools such as network simulation software giving students the ability to model and simulate appropriate computer networks.
At the end of this course the student will be able to:
- Explain how networking components work and how they can be put together to implement a system.
- Explain and critically evaluate layered protocols (including OSI and TCP/IP), LAN and WAN standards, hardware and software components.
- Critically compare and evaluate LAN and WAN technology and architectures.
- Design, implement and investigate networks using appropriate simulation software, internetworking tools and technology in multi-protocol environments.
- Education : BA/MA in Computer Science, or equivalent
- Industry experience : 5 years relevant work experience, or equivalent and 3 years relevant teaching experience or equivalent
- Assets : Experience with network simulation tools such as GNS3 and designing and installing network infrastructure.
Applications should be addressed to the Centre for Continuing Education, Ms. Michele Wu ([email protected]) and must include a cover letter clearly identifying the course title and a detailed curriculum vitae. Electronic applications should be submitted by the deadline but will continue to be reviewed until course has been filled. Only short-listed candidates will be notified.
Concordia strives to be an inclusive institution that is welcoming of diverse backgrounds and experiences in order to improve learning, advance research, inspire creativity, and drive productivity. We define diversity broadly to include both ethnic and socio‐cultural background and diversity of perspectives, ideologies and traditions.
As part of this commitment to providing our students with the dynamic, innovative, and inclusive educational environment of a Next‐Generation University, we require all applicants to articulate in their cover letter how their background, as well as lived and professional experiences and expertise have prepared them to conduct innovative research and to teach in ways that are relevant for a diverse, multicultural contemporary Canadian society.
Applicants who anticipate requiring adaptive measures throughout any stage of the recruitment process may contact, in confidence, Kristina Huneault, Vice-Provost, Faculty Development and Inclusion at [email protected] or by phone at 514-848-2424, extension 4323.
