In addition, a Master ofScience in Technology program was recently developed in our department. The advancedcomputing application is one of the tracks offered in this program. So development of a graduatecourse on multimedia networking is imperative to the curriculum of the Master program.This course was first offered in Fall 2008 as a 3 credit hour course. It is offered as a seniorrequired course for the undergraduate program and a graduate elective course for the Master ofScience program. The topics selected in this course should help the students understand both thefundamentals of multimedia networking

Specifically, we will address how we integrated engineering,mathematical modeling and computation into the curriculum as a tool for communicatingintellectually rigorous ideas concerning the neurosciences. We assessed our curriculum using asystem of pre- and post-examinations. By combining the results of these assessments withstudent surveys and feedback, we conclude that the integration of engineering, modeling andcomputation

The Committee on Computer Science Curricula(C3S) resulted from that meeting. That committee, affiliated with ACM, and received a grantfrom the National Science Foundation which resulted in their 1968 curriculum {9,10]. By 1964-65 there were about 50 identifiable computer programs in universities, including some inelectrical engineering departments, increasing to 150 in 1968-69.

Traditional approaches to design verification includesimulation, where validation engineers create a test bench environment and develop test casesand checkers to monitor the behavior of the design. This presents several problems, includingthe long time taken to create the test bench infrastructure, long runtimes, and always posing thequestion of how many test cases would be enough to validate the design thoroughly. Longerruntimes for simulation are usually
