The Internet has grown to become the only ubiquitous and truly global communications and computing network for any-to-any connectivity. In the past, it suffered a lack of respect from network managers because of its uni-class nature--that is, every user was treated the same and there was no class of service (CoS) differentiation. As a result, network managers leaned more to ATM-type solutions that are equipped with quality of service (QoS), instead of the Internet.
This course explores a full range of internet business network design, integration, and deployment concepts, technologies, and examples through case studies, class design/integration exercises, and illustrations. It is designed to help potential internet business network managers and professionals visualize and experience the process of designing/developing an e-commerce network. You also gain a working knowledge of how to effectively use the Internet networking infrastructure (backbone and access) for internet business networks. At the same time, you gain a working knowledge of all the core technologies needed to transform yesterday's economy-class Internet into business-class Internet and e-commerce-class Internet to support mission-critical applications. |

This course introduces and explores the fundamental concepts of geographic information systems. Why is GIS important? Because at least 80 percent of data contains a location, and GIS is the technology that makes sense of this spatial component. Yet, in this information age, the role of GIS is not widely understood, nor applied as effectively as it could be.
Technical as well as nontechnical individuals benefit from the course, including those who have not yet been exposed to GIS and those who are GIS practitioners who wish to go beyond the user manuals. Supervised Final Examination. |

Each one of us views the world from a unique perspective shaped by our own thoughts and beliefs, those passed along by family and reinforced by culture, and lessons learned through personal life experience. This idea, that we each have a distinct and compelling story to tell, is the essence of memoir - a genre that depends (as its name implies) on the past as we remember it. Through reading and writing exercises, this course explores in depth the shifting landscape of memory, and the creative license it affords us on the page. The course will examine why the concepts of "truth" and "nonfiction" can sometimes seem at odds, and will help students to reconcile the two. The writing exercises in this course build towards a 15-20 page memoir. |
