Learning outcomes
|
The learning course provides basic knowledge about the technical means of the information system, their classification, characteristics and trends in their development. Students will learn to compare and evaluate technical means and select them based on specified criteria. The aim of the course is to equip students with the knowledge of the given area, which is especially necessary for IS design. In this course, students will be introduced to the lowest physical levels of computing.
Students understand the basic terminology and architecture of personal computers and servers. They will get an overview of the additional infrastructure needed for building information systems.
