The most important thing to learn; is how to learn new things !
Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things (EEET2370 / EEET2371)
This is an entirely new course that I have developed in 2019 (and is continuously updated). The course aims to provide a deep understanding of IoT access networks, and to develop the skills required for the wide-scale design and deployment for these networks. The labs are very exciting with hands on use of LoRWAN, NB-IoT devices and software defined radios. Following is the high-level contents:
Week 1 Introduction to Networks and Network Architecture and OSI Layers
Week 2 OSI Layer 1: Physical Layer
Week 3 OSI Layer 2: Media Access Control
Week 4 OSI Layer 3: Networking Layer: IPv4 and IPv6
Week 5 OSI Layer 4: Transport Layer: TCP and UDP
Week 6 Mid semester test
Week 7 Wide Area Networks (PS and CS), Cellular Networks
Week 8 Wireless and Multiple Access: ALOHA and WLAN
Week 9 Introduction to Traffic Engineering
Week 10 Internet Services and Applications: DNS and HTTP
Week 11 Internet Services and Applications: Real Time Traffic, VoIP / RTP
Week 12 Review / Invited Talk

Network Fundamentals and Applications (EEET2368
The course aims to induces the introductory concepts of the OSI model in communications, primarily focusing on the lower 4 layers (Physical, Data link, Network and Transport). It also provide a wealth of introduction into important applications such as cellular networks - 5G, www, and DNS. The labs are mainly based on Cisco Packet Tracer.
