In typicalComputer Networking textbooks used in networking courses the only coverage of networkprogramming is a discussion of the sockets API. This approach seems logical since many timesthe students taking a Computer Networking course are upper division students who already knowhow to program. The problem with this approach is most students have not writtenasynchronous programs that need to work together to

Historically,many students (inside and outside of the honors program) have received credit for completingundergraduate research, but this is often a “stand-alone” course with no additional preparation andill-defined outcomes.

The goal ofthis new course, which meets two laboratory hours per week, is to expose students to several ofthe important ideas and concepts in microsystems and nanotechnology, and to give them hands-on projects that will help them learn these multidisciplinary ideas. Further, the “ulterior motive”of this course is to inspire students to stay in engineering, and to give them a flavor of
