Recent research has shown potential in this area [8],[9]. Future work in this area may also consider how AI can assist in coding and applicationdevelopment.ConclusionWhile curriculum and laboratory development conclusions are preliminary, a few things havebecome apparent to the faculty stakeholders.

Dr. Ralston teaches undergraduate engineering mathematics and is currently involved in educational research on the effective use of technology in engineering education, the incorpo- ration of critical thinking in undergraduate engineering education, and retention of engineering students. She leads a research group whose goal is to foster active interdisciplinary research which investigates learning and motivation and whose findings will inform the development of evidence-based interventions to promote retention and student success in engineering. Her fields of technical expertise include process modeling, simulation, and process control.Ms. Campbell R. Bego

In mostcomputer science programs, Java has been the choice for the first language. Students coming outof high school with Advanced Placement (AP) credit have taken a test in Java to demonstrate aworking knowledge of the language. While computer engineering has incorporated Java in manyplaces, most text books have examples in C++, and C remains the dominant language forembedded applications. Since both computer engineering and computer science students sharethe first programming courses, we chose to retain C++ as the first language and teach Java in alater course required only of computer science students.

This approach to networktechnology education requires an understanding of switch and router operation. However, anextensive analysis of educational materials in this area has indicated that these devices aretypically treated as 'black boxes'. Such an approach may not be best suited to the promotion oflearning as students are required to construct their own mental model of the internal operation ofsuch devices and which may, or may not, be correct. To address this problem a state model hasbeen designed for both switches and routers which allows complexity to be controlled and hencecan be used as a basis for teaching both introductory and advanced
