Abstract

This paper describes an approach to engage hands-on learners in research activities. The paper provides as an example the research project for IT 6723 Managing Operating and Network Systems course. Projects that combine both hands-on practice and research assignments give students not only knowledge and skills, but also empower students to investigate a topic in-depth. As an example, this paper outlines specifications for dynamic VLAN configuration based on network flow. This type of project encourages research, practice in the development and use of information technology, and promotes student interest in the study of information technology.
