As such,commercial carrier and private enterprise networks must employ QoS, while smaller networkssuch as home networks or small local area networks do not usually employ QoS.Bandwidth in data communications networks quantifies the transmission speed, in bits persecond (bps), of a communications channel or “line”. These lines connect switching devices,servers and databases, etc that contain the routing, switching, security and informationcapabilities of IP networks 4. For example, a gigabit Ethernet connection is 1,000,000,000 bitsper second (bps) or 1000

Tracking the top-5 and bottom-5 competencies was initially proposed by DDI as amethod to monitor competency strength and weakness trends over time as an alternative forprograms that do not consistently have a large quantity of students involved in internships.The practice has continued since the fall 2001 assessment term. Individual results, availableonly to students, provide formative feedback that can help undergraduates improve weakerknowledge, skills, and abilities prior to entering the workplace. Tracking the T5/B5 resultsover time is useful for continuous improvement practices for program curriculumdevelopment by identifying trends in strengths and weaknesses, which support curriculumdevelopment.

I wanted this activity to illustrate a different version of literature-based engineering. First,we identified the design problem in a work of fiction rather than in a historical biography.Second, the particular problem statement was initially framed by me, the instructor, instead of bythe students. Third, I positioned the whole class as a large team tasked with making a singledesign recommendation to a (fictitious) furniture company, although I had the students first workin small groups to design draft

One of the mathematics courses was Advanced Calculus,for which he lacked the formal prerequisites, but wanted to take regardless. In Fall 2003 he hadattended MIT, but for health reasons did not finish his first semester there.

Cooperative learning implemented through small grouplearning has been largely successful in STEM courses in promoting academic achievement andstudent perceptions of self-efficacy [7], [8].
