On Using Simulators and a Hybrid Approach for an Internetworking Technology Course Benito Mendoza | bmendoza@citytech.cuny.edu Department of Computer Engineering Technology New York City College of TechnologyThis paper presents an implementation of a hybrid course in advanced computer networksfocused on internetworking technologies. Professional networking equipment is expensive andsetting up a big enough networking laboratory can be costly. To overcome this problem, thecourse makes use of online and offline computer networks simulators that help the students topractice the concepts and skills required to obtain a
paradigm,internal validity checks are still possible. These internal checks, based on critical thinking,writing quality, and other techniques, can combine with new forms of external validity checksenabled by Internet resources to give assurance of the reliability of information found on theInternet.

Interfacing [1]. The initial curriculum for Information Technologyat BYU took the approach of including topics from Electronics Engineering Technology,Computer Science and Computer Engineering in a traditional topic-oriented approach.Other IT programs have been following a similar track [1]. During the last three yearswe have observed several problems in attempting to implement IT courses by tailoringcourses from related disciplines to the requirements of an IT curriculum. We reported onthese experiences in our networking course development at ASEE 2002[2]. Wediscussed similar issues for web systems and database courses at CITC III[3] and CIEC2003[4]. At CITC IV[5] we proposed focusing on the interfaces between technologies asan overriding philosophy
