Mobile Computing Program Curriculum -Design and Implementation

摘要

Mobile computing is revolutionizing the way computers are used. By looking at all of the entities in mobile computing (mobile users, mobile contents, and mobile devices), it forces us to consider a new curriculum design and teaching strategy to teach computing courses to students. Our unique mobile computing curriculum design focuses on given students an in-depth knowledge of comprehensive mobile computing development techniques. This is achieved by not only integrating mobile concepts into a few specific undergraduate traditional computing courses but across the curriculum [13]. This paper presents a new curriculum design that reflects nowadays existing mobile computing technologies. Some of the courses are lab intensive where students experiment with various mobile devices to develop and deploy applications. Also, the paper reports the teaching strategies, feedback, and challenges.
