A. Introduction: This course is offered by Department Computer Science and Engineering (IoT and Intelligent
Systems) which provides students with the fundamental concepts and techniques used for communicating data in
efficient and reliable manner. The student will be able to gain practical understanding of relevant terminology and
describe various encoding techniques, flow & error control mechanisms, multiplexing & multiple-access techniques
used for enabling data communication. The course lays down the foundation for Computer Networks, Wireless
Communications.

B. Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, students will be able to:
[IS 2102.1] Interpret the fundamental concepts of data communication, transmission media, and transmission
impairments on analog and digital transmission.
[IS 2102.2] Outline the principles of signal encoding techniques used for digital data to digital signal conversion and
analog data to digital signal conversion and compare them.
[IS 2102.3] Apply the knowledge of various error detection and correction techniques to find and overcome error
encountered during transmission, and discuss flow control and error control techniques.
[IS 2102.4] Distinguish different types of multiplexing techniques in data communications.
[IS 2102.5] Interpret the fundamental Multiple Access techniques in data communications.

C. PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES

[PO.1].Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, computer science, and communication
engineering fundamentals to the solution of complex engineering problems.
[PO.2]. Problem analysis: the sophisticated curriculum would enable a graduate to identify, formulate, review research
literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using basic principles of
mathematics, computing techniques and communication engineering principles.
[PO.3]. Design/development of solutions: Upon analyzing the B Tech ISE graduate should be able to devise solutions
for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified requirements
with appropriate consideration for law, safety, cultural & societal obligations with environmental considerations.
[PO.4]. Conduct investigations of complex problems: To imbibe the inquisitive practices to have thrust for innovation
and excellence that leads to use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments,
analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
[PO.5]. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and
IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
[PO.6].The engineer and society: The engineers are terms society builders and transformers. B. Tech ISE graduate
should be able to apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and
cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
[PO.7]. Environment and sustainability: The zero effect and zero defect is not just a slogan, it is to be practised in each
action. Thus a B Tech ISE should understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and
environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
 [PO.8]. Ethics: Protection of IPR, staying away from plagiarism are important. Student should be able to apply ethical
principles and commit to professional ethics,responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
[PO.9]. Individual and team work: United we grow, divided we fall is a culture at MUJ that an outgoing student should
be able to function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary
settings.
[PO.10]. Communication: Communicate effectively for all engineering processes & activities with the peer engineering
team, community and with society at large. Clarity of thoughts, being able to comprehend and formulate effective reports
and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
[PO.11]. Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and
management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and
in multidisciplinary environments.
[PO.12]. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and
life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
D. Program Specific Outcome-
[PSO.1] Apply the fundamental knowledge of computer science and engineering in developing effective
software/hardware for real world complex engineering problems by adapting advanced technologies.

[PSO.2] Analyse and configure various IoT based innovative and smart applications using recent hardware and
software tools.

[PSO.3] Design industrial IoT based solutions for improving operational efficiency at home and industry
automation systems.

25% includes all types of leaves including medical leaves.
Make up Assignments Students who miss a class will have to report to the teacher about the
(Formative) absence. A makeup assignment on the topic taught on the day of absence will
be given which has to be submitted within a week from the date of absence.
No extensions will be given on this. The attendance for that particular day of
absence will be marked blank, so that the student is not accounted for
absence. These assignments are limited to a maximum of 5 throughout the
entire semester.
