Course detail
Information Systems and Computer Networks
FSI-GIFAcad. year: 2020/2021
Information systems are nowadays a very important part of production systems. Effective work with data and information is of particular importance in connection with the concept of Industry 4.0. In this course, basic concepts of information theory are discussed, students are familiar with the structure of modern information systems, their design and deployment in the field of manufacturing systems through the latest methods of software engineering. Students are also acquainted with the means of computer networks, their importance in the communication subsystem of information systems in production.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught in the form of lectures, which are an explanation of the basic principles and theory of the discipline. The exercise is focused on practical mastery of the subject matter covered in the lectures. Where possible, lectures will be organized for practitioners and field trips to companies dealing with activities related to the subject matter.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it is required 100% participation in exercises and activity in exercises. Students will work out the individual work in the prescribed range and quality. Based on the quality of the work in the exercise, the student earns up to 30 points for the exam The work must be submitted in writing and checked and recognized by the teacher. The test is realized by written test, student can get up to 70 points from this test, where 30 points from exercises. Evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.

Aims
Learning outcomes of the course unit To acquaint students with basic requirements for information processing in manufacturing companies and ways of their coverage, especially by using information systems for these purposes. They will also learn about development and classification of IS used in manufacturing companies, their structure and way of their construction. Great attention is paid to databases as a basic element of IS. Students will also become familiar with the basic features of computer networks.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at obligatory lessons is checked and only substantial reasons of absence are accepted. Missed lessons can be substituted for via solution of extra exercises.
