that if things go seriously wrongon a VPS, there is no physical machine to manually reboot. A laboratory administrator must befound to reboot the container from a master control utility. On the other hand, as a testament tothe quality of the isolation of the containers from each other, we have had no instances in whicha student’s application has been able to damage a VPS other than his own.Another limitation from a teaching perspective is that in order to maximize the efficiency of thesystem, software that is common to all the containers on the server should be pre-installed by thesystem administrator. This software image is then shared by all the VPS. This is not desirable ifwe need to give students experience with system administration tasks

curricula.Baccalaureate curricula were designed to allow students completing their Associate’s degrees ata satellite campus to transfer to the main campus and complete their Baccalaureate Degreecoursework.Known colloquially as the “2+2” system, this approach created a significant critical path concernin the networking degree plan of study. The satellite campuses do not have the faculty expertise,nor the space and funds to teach laboratory-based networking courses. As a result, all corelaboratory-based networking courses had to be delivered in the junior and senior years. Studentstook the majority of their non-core courses in the first two years, then took predominatelylaboratory-based core courses in their last two years.This created several curriculum design

This simulation model is applicable for design space exploration forclassroom/laboratory teaching of wireless communication courses at both undergraduate andgraduate levels. Page 14.682.2IntroductionThe IEEE 802.11n is a currently emerging WLAN standard capable of providing dramaticallyincreased throughput, as well as improved range, reduced signal fading, over the existing IEEE802.11a/g WLAN standards. These benefits are achieved through use of MIMO (Multiple-Input,Multiple-Output) technology. The latest draft for IEEE 802.11n describes

The laboratory is located in the Engineering Teaching and ResearchComplex (ETRC), central to Iowa State University’s efforts to strengthen engineering education,research, and outreach. The workspace consists of five “pods” of three computers, one pod foreach research team of three participants. The space is open and flexible with the one wall servingas a whiteboard and projection space for five different
