Thus, the assessment and understanding of student engagement have becomecritical in shaping pedagogical strategies and educational policies.Measuring student engagement, and resulting skill development, provides educators andinstitutions with valuable insights into the effectiveness of their teaching methods and curriculumdesign. It helps identify students at risk of disengagement and allows for timely interventions.Additionally, it aids in assessing the impact of pedagogical innovations and educationaltechnologies on learning outcomes. It is also a feedback mechanism for students to assess theirown engagement and skill development required to successfully complete

A second innovative approach was to form student teams to work directly withfaculty researchers on current research projects. Faculty presented their research projects andstudents selected those that they would like to work on. Although faculty research does nottraditionally employ first year students, this approach set out to raise awareness of currentresearch and engage the students for future involvement in research projects.The results of both approaches provide the basis of this paper.

Consequently, college education in NA needs to adapt and promote viable curriculum innovation in order to improve the efficacy and preparedness of the next generation network administrators. 3URFHHGLQJV RI WKH 6SULQJ 0LG$WODQWLF 6HFWLRQ

Courses related to computer communication and networking can be benefitted if computer simulation is wisely adopted. In this paper, we describe a study in which we count on computer simulation to illustrate important and complicated algorithms of congestion control and queue management in the TCP/IP protocol suites. Comparing with current queue management techniques, Active Queue Management(AQM) is an innovative mechanism in router packet scheduling. We noticed that AQM is
