Mobile Device Networks is a specialisation within the Computer Science programme, a full-time Bachelor's course taught in English at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT). It is for those who want to write software for mobile platforms and understand the networks those devices rely on.
Over three semesters of the specialisation you gain practical knowledge of software development for mobile platforms. You learn how mobile operating systems and hardware are built, how applications are designed, created and distributed, how users interact with them, and how to process information from sensors such as cameras and accelerometers. The classes introduce the Android and Qt ecosystems and the programming languages Java, C++ and Objective-C. Specialisation subjects include Advanced Computer Networks and Mobile Programming.
What sets this specialisation apart is its focus on communication technology:
The specialisation laboratory is developed continuously. It offers Cisco equipment for managing 802.11x networks with RADIUS authentication, a radio spectrum analyser for WiFi, a GPS module and a range of Android, Apple and other mobile devices on which you can test your own solutions.
Graduates are specialists in developing software for mobile platforms, and they also understand the wireless networks that such applications depend on.
Thesis topics give a feel for the area: a smart home, a secure 802.11 network access point, an English-Japanese translator for mobile phones, GPS mapping or interactive guides for tourists.
