The primary value offered by this paper is (a) its identification of some typesof network configurations, applications, and protocols that can be successfully implemented in anetworking course that focuses on signaling and lower layer protocols, (b) its description ofinnovative techniques for collision-detection on networks having a bus topology, and (c) itsdescription of project activities that greatly contribute to students’ exposure to real-worldnetworking activities, such as design and adherence to standards, and test

The project is an integrated health monitoring system. The health monitor determinesand displays a user’s heart rate and measures a user’s reaction time (the latter of which can beuseful for diagnosing diseases like Parkinson’s disease). A complete, digital implementation of thehealth monitor will incorporate topics including combinational logic, common combinationalbuilding blocks, finite state machines, counters, adders, shift registers, and hierarchical design.On the first day of the course, students are shown a functioning health monitor and

Likely reasons for this is the cost to purchase, maintain, and upgrade experimentalapparatus; facilities requirements that can include compressed air and/or hydraulics in addition toelectric power; and the lab space to house the traditional control system equipment, which canhave a fairly sizable footprint. Given the low demand, there are a limited number of vendors whosell control system lab equipment and, hence, the range of apparatus that is available is alsolimited
