It is advisable to have attended the basic courses such as "Foundations of Math I", "Foundations of Math II", " "Foundations of Math III", "Computer Science" and "Systems Analysis".
However, it is recommended to have basic knowledge of digital systems and high-level programming languages, for which it is recommended that "Computer Programming", "Communication Theory" and "Transmission media" are taken simultaneously or have already been completed.
Telematics is one of the working fields for the telecommunication engineers. This is the first course in the subject of Telematics and, therefore, establishes its basics. Its main objective is the understanding for operating a communications network, especially the Internet. This subject is essential to subsequently study "Communication Networks II", as well as the optional "Security in communications" and "Sensors and Wireless Sensor Networks".
