that the department’s quest to slay theHydra—fully infusing the program with the BOK2 outcomes—could not be accomplished byselectively tweaking courses. Rather, as this paper discusses, a complete review of every aspectof the program was necessary, including the educational objectives, the program outcomes, andthe objectives for each required course. Ultimately, it was a two-year process of programassessment, evaluation and modification to fully implement the BOK2.I. IntroductionA.

Since all three components, GNS3, Dynagen, and Dynamips are essentially beta-quality software and interdependent, identifying simulation-software related problems is noteasy. A number of simulations have simply terminated after starting successfully, the causeundetermined. Therefore, instructors must choose simulation topologies that are proven or basedon proven simulations to avoid unnecessary hardship on the students’ part.The development teams for GNS3, Dynagen, and Dynamips are small, and therefore unable torespond quickly with software updates. There is no guarantee that future updates will beavailable. Indeed, Dynamips emulates the particular processor hardware that is common betweenthe 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700, and

appropriately, simulation can be used to wring the mostperformance out of engineered systems at an acceptable cost. A vivid example of this is the caseof the Speedo LZR swimsuit which was developed through a combination of simulation andphysical testing. Experts used FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD)software, to design modifications in the suit that led to a reduction in the water drag on thewearer. Swimmers wearing the LZR suit went on to claim 33 of the first 36 medals in the BeijingOlympic games and continue to break world records, as reported in the popular press6. If mostengineers, not just specialists with Ph.D.’s, are able to deploy simulation effectively, there wouldundoubtedly be significant improvements in the engineered
