Abstract

Effective ways of instruction in networking technology classes (students' papers with technology overviews, research projects, virtual labs, analytical exercises, and Web resources) are discussed with demonstration of lecture notes, OPNET™ lab assignments, "warm-up" exercises, homework and test problems, and final projects that are available on the instructor's Websites. The project-based approach motivates students in selecting topics for their technology overviews and research projects and provides them with knowledge, instructions, and hands-on experience.
