Analysis Of Wireless And Mobile Computer Networks Courses

This paper presents an analysis of wireless and mobile computer networks courses. The results are based on information collected from course Web sites of universities and colleges in computer science, electrical engineering and information science departments. The data analyzed include course titles, course structure, textbooks, major topics and their presentation, projects, and laboratory exercises. We found that wireless and mobile computer network education can be divided into three categories: courses that cover wireless network topics such as computer networks and data-and- communication; courses dedicated to wireless networks; and a sequence of core and supporting courses which typically take the form of a track , or a concentration in wireless communication.
