TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND EXAMINATIONS

It is a CLASS ROOM TEACHING FROM CHICAGO CAMPUS. All Courses (called as

Subjects in India) are entirely taught by professors in Chicago campus, by using Hi-Tech E learning
Technologies. Generally professors will have small class room concepts with strength of about 25 to
30 students in each class. Students in India are considered on the strength of Chicago class room
only. Professors will take only one lecture of 3 Hrs per course in a week. Totally they will take 14
to 16 lectures in each semester. Moment the Lecture is completed on a particular day in the week,
vary same Lecture is up loaded on IIT Chicago Server (Black board). Students can attend these
lectures from any where in the world any number of times. They can clarify their doubts by sending

6
E-mail questions to Professors who will answer them quickly. Also students can talk to Professors
telephonically by taking an appointment. For such talks, Students can use toll free telephones in our
centers in India. Students have to complete their assignments, projects etc given by each professor
with in the specified date/time & submit it to our centers for onward dispatch to Chicago by courier.
Also “LIVE-ON-SITE” courses are organized where in a professor from IIT (Chicago) visits India
and conducts classes. Video / Audio conferences and E-mail are the modes of interactions with
Professors at Chicago. All courses, examinations and assignments including projects are conducted
and evaluated by professors of IIT Chicago only. Master’s program can be attended completely
either in India or in Chicago, or partly in India and partly in Chicago.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM

Certificate programs offer working professionals an opportunity to increase their knowledge and
skills in the specific areas of information technology. A certificate representing proven academic
performance is presented after the required coursework is completed with a GPA of 3.0/4.0.Courses
taken may be later applied toward a degree program.

Certificate Program in Computer and Network Security Technologies

Why Computer and Network Security?

Computer and network security has become one of the most significant issues to business and law
enforcement because it has caused business losses in the billions of dollars and created problems for
everyone who uses computers. In the brief history of the Information Technology & Management
(ITM) Degree program these courses have become the most sought after by our students. This
graduate certificate program enables those not seeking a graduate degree the opportunity to obtain
necessary knowledge in this critical area of information technology. The intent is to provide you with
hands-on experience in dealing with real life security issues and to prepare you for eventual positions
as chief computer and network security officer.

Computer and Network Security Technologies is designed for students seeking knowledge that

27
will prepare them for careers in computer and network security and to deal with the challenging
computer and network security problems facing society. All courses may be later applied toward the
Master of Information Technology and Management degree for those who apply and are accepted
to the degree program.
Students in this program must select nine hours of coursework from the following:

ITM 540 Introduction to Data Networks and the Internet
