Abstract Contrasting Computer Networking and Data Communication Curricula

Contrasting Computer Networking and Data Communication Curricula Mohammad Shariat and Colin O. Benjamin Florida A M University Abstract Rapid changes in the telecommunication and computer industries have forced Computer and Management Science curriculum planners to redesign undergraduate programs. Many curriculum planners have added Data Communication or Computer Networking courses to Computer Science (CS), Computer Engineering (CE), and Management Science (CIS, IS, MIS) programs. Unfortunately, these courses do not always distinguish between the needs of CE/CS and CIS/IS/MIS students. In this paper, we examine the computer degree programs at thirty universities and colleges and discuss the necessary distinctions between Computer Networking courses designed for CS and CE majors and Data Communication courses designed for IS, CIS, and MIS majors. We propose that Information and Management Science students complete a business oriented Data Communications course that emphasizes the applications side of networks while Computer Science and Computer Engineering students be required to take engineering and physics oriented Computer Networking courses. Introduction Innovations in telecommunication technology have had a dramatic impact on how individuals and organizations communicate and conduct business. The role of the Information Technology specialist has shifted from one primarily concerned with machines, to one concerned with how employees interact with machines (Dahlbom Mathiassen, 1997). Constant innovations in electronic communications and distributed computing environments make up-to-date information systems education difficult. Employers and universities are pressured to train workers on the innovative technologies. These technologies are popularly known as “bleeding edge” because they evolve so quickly that incorrect predictions on which way a technology is headed can bankrupt an organization. To assist colleges and universities in remaining current with the IS
