Information Technology Master's Program (without Thesis) (M.Tech., 1 - 1.5 Years)

This course aims to provide a full understanding of the management roles, responsibilities and techniques needed in technology projects. The course also teaches how technology project management adapts as a computer system evolves from concept to implementation. All areas of the subject, including organization, work breakdown structure and scheduling, resources and project financing, project control and evaluation, management considerations, critical success factors and risk management will be discussed through the course.

This course explores the practice as well as leading research in the field of software design and development. It builds on the knowledge and skills learnt in undergraduate Software Design and development course. The complete software design and development cycle is covered with latest methodologies and techniques including concepts such as project management, change control, process management, and software development and testing. Students will perform research on selected topics and prepare a presentatıon and a short paper.

Participants will learn the steps of conducting a research within the context of Information Technology. Research process starting from the formalization of problem, review of literature, theorizing, methodologies like qualitative, quantitative and mixed method approaches will be discussed. Writing strategies, co-authorship and role of ethics in research will also be among the topics covered.

The main aim of this course is to familiarize students with advanced topics on the newest wired networking technologies with a special emphasis on networking applications. It provides an in-depth introduction to a wide range of topics in the field of computer networks including the Internet. Rather than explain how protocols work in the abstract, the most important protocols are defined to discuss how networks work in practice. This allows to include real-world experiences in the discussion. Topics covered include network protocols, Internet routing, peer to peer networks, network security, congestion control, error detection & correction, and internetworking. It focuses both on the existing technologies and new trends or changes in fundamentals, to derive a set of requirements that a useful network must meet.

Term project include identification of problem, formulation of hypothesis, search and review of literature, exposure to recent advances, data collection, critical analysis, interpretation of results and drawing conclusions. Term project report should provide a literature review of the related area and explain the nature of the problem to be investigated. It should provide a clear summary of the project background, relevance and main contributions. https://sct.emu.edu.tr/en/itec599-term-project
