Proposal

Curriculum Development of Network Practicum Every year many technologies are developed and made by scientists and inventors to help the human beings in their lives. Improving education and teaching methods by using newly developed technology is an investment that will benefit the current and future generations. In my project, I developed the curriculum of a computer science third year course called Network Practicum. This course will acquaint the students with practical details of network software and hardware. Topics will include design, setup, configuration and implementation of various network functions. In the previous years of teaching this course, students used to learn this course with physical machines and devices, which became outdated due to the evolution of technology. My project was to re-develop the Network Practicum course to teach students the networking topics above using a powerful virtual networking program which is called Marionnet that will allow the students to simulate the behaviour of physical networks and test machines, hubs, switches, sockets, cloud, and routers in different status, and they can connect them together and make the required physical network. The new developed course is cost efficient for the University of Windsor and the school of computer science, and beneficial for professors, teaching instructors, and students.
