, 2010 Mobile and Wireless Networks Course Development with Hands- on LabsAbstractRapid advances in wireless networks technologies present opportunities for innovative educationat undergraduate and graduate level. Wireless networks courses become increasingly popular incolleges (including community colleges) and universities. However, there is a real concern withthe lack of hands-on labs based active learning in computer science, engineering and technologycurriculums. Hands-on project based learning is found to be the best way of learning andteaching wireless networking technologies. These hands-on projects also provide the problembased learning (PBL).In this paper, an undergraduate computer information
