Computer Networking Laboratory for Undergraduate Computer Technology Program

摘要

The primary purpose of this project was to establish a state-of-the art computer networking laboratory to support the department curriculum in the areas of data communications, computer networks, and Internet/Intranet programming through hands-on approaches. As stated in the project proposal, the laboratory would provide the necessary technological infrastructure for the department: (1) To improve the quality of education in the existing courses related to computer networks and data communications as well as other computer science courses such programming languages and computer hardware and software systems. (2) To design and implement an advanced level computer science course in computer networks and data communications. (3) To provide faculty the technological tools to conduct research programs. The construction of the lab initiated in August 1, 1999 and continued until September 15, 2000. The lab was constructed in three phases, namely, planning and design, purchasing and installation, and testing. Each phase was successfully carried out to completion by the project's Principal and Co-Principal investigators and valuable contributions from the department and the university administrators and staff.
