PILO	How the course contribute to the specific PILO(s)
1, 2, 10	This training course provides students with hands-on experience of some necessary skills and tools required for information engineering design work that complements their theoretical studies covered in the regular taught courses.
6, 9	By exposing students to a simulated in-house training environment as in the industry, they are expected to be aware of the importance of life-long learning. They will also realize their professional and ethical responsibilities under the guidance of the training supervisors

Part III

Keyword Syllabus:

Session 1 - Linux fundamentals, web server set up and simple PHP programming
This training is to provide hands-on experience for students on basic UNIX commands and managing Linux-based system by its advanced graphical user interface. The students are required to install the Red Hat Linux distribution for desktop applications and use some popular Open Source Desktop applications including Open Office, Web Browser, FTP and GIMP. They can use the basic UNIX commands and text editor for file processing and describe the basic UNIX file system layout. They are also required to set up Web Server with the use of Apache Open Source Application and write simple PHP programs for web applications.

Session 2 – Routing protocol and small network configuration
After recognizing various kinds of networking protocols and major components inside a computer network; the students are required to configure a small network, test the connectivity of the network and trouble shoot basic networking problems. They are also required to manage basic commands of Cisco’s IOS and explain the main function of the OSI Application, Transport, Network, Data Link and Physical Layers, etc.
