HPC, one for undergraduates and onefor graduate students, that provides students with hands-on experience in designing, developing,and testing commodity-based supercomputing systems. In this paper, we describe a cost-effective and scalable approach that we developed for this course, which has been successfullydelivered over several semesters. We describe the curricular context, pedagogical approach, andoutcomes along with a detailed description of the approaches and strategies we used to develop ahands-on laboratory component that can be replicated by others seeking to develop similarcourses. We believe that our results will be useful to departments and institutions interested indeveloping curricula to answer the increasing needs presented by

revised to be more of a true wireless“networking” course. The emphasis has been placed on end-to-end network connectivity,integration into wired networks, and overall facility network design including wirelesscomponents from inception. In addition, as industry acceptance of controller based, lightweightaccess point (LWAP) networks has become a more accepted practice for control andmanagement of wireless networks, these topics have been integrated into the course as well.The result of these changes is a course that takes students from understanding the IEEE 802.11series of standards on a single access point and client to being proficient at designing andimplement enterprise level, managed, controller-based networks integrated with the

abide by a published code of ethics. In today’s competitive work place, many students continue on after their Bachelor degrees for graduate education. This trend is no different in Geospatial Technology fields. Acknowledging this trend, the proposed curriculum is also designed to prepare students for graduate-level education. In this respect, the proposed curriculum will emphasize the acquisition of research skills and effective writing and communication. Even if students do not choose to continue on for graduate education, these skills will enable them to be leaders and innovators in their careers. Furthermore, in preparing students for graduate education, this curriculum fits within the institutional vision for increased

simulation. However,this is not the best way to enhance the students’ learning as they mentioned that building a Page 15.875.3hands-on experimental lab environment is a challenging for many institutions due to spaceconstraints, budget limitations, maintenance difficulty. Other people also worked on networkingcourses which do not have focus on wireless networking11,16,19,20. There is a need to create morecomprehensive, dedicated course to teach wireless networks technologies that could givestudents a practical experience. This paper discusses how this course is offered to satisfy thisdemand and provide college graduates a practical hands-on

This curriculumuses the IS2002 model curriculum as a basis and is designed to reflect the UAE needs forgraduates that are well prepared to enter the workforce and to assume their place ofresponsibility in the nation. The goal of the College is to produce graduates having strongtechnology and communication skills as well as a good understanding of business practices andwork ethics.The academic program model is driven by two sets of learning outcomes at both the college andUniversity levels. All IS courses are developed to address College and University level learningoutcomes. Master course syllabi are developed to show the course contributions to variouslearning outcomes. During

, part manuallygraded, but some caution must be exercised, because not all respondents agree that thesystems can handle this kind of question. For systems that can’t handle them, it is notpleasant to design a workaround. Our workaround was to (1) create separate questions forthe automatically and manually graded parts, (2) assign our own numbers (such as 2a and2b) to these questions, and (3) disable the question-scrambling feature of the testing systemto assure that the questions would be juxtaposed on everyone’s exam.
