On the Practice of System and Network Engineering

In this block-seminar, we will go into the practical side of system and network engineering, covering all relevant aspects:
From the humans involved to the bits of underlying technology.

# Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

- Describe best practices in system administration, from organizing work over service operation practices to operational management.
- Assess a given case and identify shortcomings in the situation
- Propose approaches for given cases based on identfied shortcomings or insufficiently implemented best-practices
- Select best-practices for given tasks (e.g., service deployment, change-management, efficacy improvement, budgeting) and apply them to a given case
- Describe the interdisciplinary nature of system administration and identify how it manifests in given cases
