course also involves completion of a simple projectwhich involves real-time simulation of a MATLAB/Simulink-based speech codingalgorithm for coding speech [9]. Page 25.960.4Analog telephone systems have mostly been replaced by digital telephone systems. Butwith the advent of digital systems, the speech can be coded and has more flexibility, easeof regeneration and security than analog systems. But the disadvantage of digital systemsis it requires larger bandwidth. The speech coding technology has gone through a numberof phases starting with the development and deployment of PCM and ADPCM systems.The 64 kb/s Log-PCM and 32 kb/s ADPCM systems which have

as it provides high bandwidth access at avery low latency.Fixed Wireless BroadbandFWB access is suitable for fringe areas, metro black spots and sparsely populated areas withsuitable propagation characteristics, i.e. not mountainous. It will rely on 4G mobile technology(IMT advanced) with peek data rates of 1Gbit/s. Latency of the access component of the networkis low by design, i.e. 10ms under ideal conditions. This has been demonstrated in a field trail 20.A factor that could introduce additional, unacceptable latencies is extensive wireless backhaul.For most areas this is not an issues as the proposed network topology largely relies on opticalfibre backhaul.SatelliteAreas that are not covered by FTTH or FWB have to rely on satellite

Most of the sites contain much richer contents than the aforementioned minimum amountof information. Among the additional information found on these sites include teachingschedules, topics discussed in the course, lecture notes, detailed homework and projectassignments, and any combinations of the above. In the end, information from a total of 38course websites is collected. Twenty-eight courses of the 38 total have been taught since 2007 (afive-year window through spring 2012). A list of these 28 course websites is in Appendix A.4. Course Titles, Goals, and ObjectivesCollectively the following different course titles are used in the

integrate wireless sensor networks concepts into their curriculum.IntroductionA wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network of a set of independent small nodes equippedwith sensor(s), a wireless radio, a battery, and an on-board processor. Usually, the unit thatconsists of the wireless radio and the on-board processor is called a mote. With the recentadvances in MEMS technology, wireless communications, and digital electronics, the design anddevelopment of low-cost, low power, multifunctional sensor nodes that are small in size andcommunicate untethered in short distances have become feasible. The ever-increasingcapabilities of these tiny sensor nodes, which include sensing, data processing, andcommunicating, enable the realization of wireless

span continents[4].The management of SCADA systems was consolidated using personal computers to monitorprocesses by making requests for information from embedded devices commonly known asprogrammable logic controllers (PLCs). However, as SCADA systems began to integrate withpersonal computers, they were exposed to outside volatile networks, bypassing the common“security by obscurity” philosophy [5, 6].Several instances occurred in the early 2000’s that raised concern about the security of SCADA Page 25.877.2environments[7].
