Seminar in Information Networking

This seminar course consists of lectures by industry executives and subject-mater experts on industry structure and trends, policy and regulation issues, evolution of key technologies, and emerging standards. Students prepare and present reports on these topics.

Subject to approval of an academic supervisor, full-time students may undertake a project in lieu of three non-required courses. Each year the concentration in Information Networking recruits a number of Architects-in-Residence that co-supervise relevant industry-oriented projects.
