The essence of ourproposed process is for students to use these experiences to develop their own skills in acontinual process - from one team project to the next - of practicing, receiving feedback, makingplans for improvement, and then practicing again. However, since most courses have but oneproject experience, the process has to be programmatic - spanning several semesters - so thateach student experiences multiple cycles.We have designated one course in each semester beginning in the second semester of thesophomore year and continuing through the

Note the projection for computer networks (network systems and datacommunications).The proposed model also targets retention, breaking up long-term goals (e.g., obtaining abachelor degree) into milestones, where a milestone can be the completion of the 4 courses in thearea of computer networks. By doing so, the model provides a safety net to students, who areable to acquire skills demanded by the job-market early during their studies. Moreover, theprogram helps in avoiding high dropout rates during early semesters, where institutions havehistorically experienced higher dropout rates because of lack in incentive for students and limitedhands-on experience.
