Enhancing Teaching and Learning Wireless Communication Networks Using Wireless Projects

Abstract

Due to the rapid developments in wireless communication and networking technologies and the high demand for wireless networking skills in the industry worldwide, wireless communication and networking courses are becoming increasingly popular in universities, polytechnics, and private training institutions around the globe. Unfortunately, wireless communication and networking is a challenging subject to teach in a meaningful way because many students appear to find the subject technical, dry, and rather boring. To overcome this problem, the authors introduce a set of new projects in order to provide the students of wireless communication and networking with a hands-on learning experience. The projects are suitable for classroom use in introductory wireless networking courses.
