TRANSCRIPT
Background NTAB and TDC Task Force
Telecom/Network enrollments had been declining since
2004.
September 2009: TDC Task Force created by the Dean
to review and update all TDC curriculum.
Fall 2009: Surveys sent to TDC adjuncts and alumni
March 2010: Based on internal review and survey
results, new M.S. in Network Engineering and
Management (M.S. NEM) degree program is created
and approved.
First M.S. NEM students enroll in July 2010.
September 2010: Invitations sent out for NTAB.
NTAB Survey Results
We received 8 responses to the NTAB Fall survey.
Overall results:
All respondents indicated that our B.S. and M.S.
students would be good candidates for appropriate
positions in their organizations.
DePaul coursework must focus on latest technologies
and the future of networking.
NTAB Member contributions: guest speakers,
internships, input into curriculum.
Student resumes must show how they can make a
difference for organizations.
NTAB Survey - Actions
Cleaned up course descriptions.
Started rigorous review of BS NT undergrad
curriculum and requirements.
Closer ties between network and security courses.
Added emphasis on newer technologies (MPLS,
ROADM, PON, Ethernet, IPv6) in core courses.
More focus on labs and experiential learning.
New advanced courses in specific technologies
(MPLS, IPv6, Storage, Capstone, Cloud?).
Enrollments & Majors We are seeing some increases in TDC enrollments
and majors after declines for the past 6 years!!

New Courses and Programs
TDC 484: Scripting for Network Management
TDC 560: Advanced Network Technologies and
Design
TDC 378/478: Information Storage and
Management
IPv6 Program (coming in Fall 2011)
TDC 594: MS NEM Capstone (coming in Fall 2011)
TDC 484: Scripting for Network Management
This is a hands-on course on using script languages to
develop practical applications for Network
Management.
Course covers task automation and Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) scripts, and uses API to
automate networks tasks of Fault Management,
Configuration Management, Accounting Management,
Performance Management, and Security Management
(FCAPS).
The final project of the course is to develop a dynamic
web site with the above five functional areas to manage
Linux servers, Ethernet switches and IP routers
TDC 560: Advanced Network Technologies and Design
New required course in the new MS NEM curriculum.
MPLS Services and configuration
IPv4 over MPLS
MPLS VPNs
IPv6 tunneling over 6PE
MPLS Traffic Engineering
Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS)
Principles of Network Design
OPNET Simulation to support Performance-oriented
Network Design
MPLS Config Labs done using CDM DLPod facilities
TDC 560 MPLS VPN Lab
ISP provider Flint Networks wishes to connect DrumCo customer sites in Los Angeles and New York into multi-site Virtual Private Network across MPLS backbone. Students must configure all IP, MPLS, RIP, BGP to make this work, test results, and report.
TDC 560 MPLS VPN Lab
Lab configuration tasks:
Configure IP on all hosts and routers
Configure MPLS on 3 Provider routers
Configure Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF)
interfaces and BGP on 2 Provider Edge routers.
Test all connectivity. Verify contents of RIP, BGP
tables, global and VRF routing tables, CEF and LFIB
tables. Debug MPLS packet flow.
Write up report.
TDC 560 OPNET Project
Daft Corp provides video processing services. Simulate multiple workload scenarios (details in handout) to compare user response times for various workloads and multiple types of storage and server load balancing across their sites in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
TDC 378/478: Information Storage and Management
Topics:
DAS, NAS Storage Architectures
Fibre Channel and IP SANs
Storage Virtualization, Server Farms and Cloud
Storage Services
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
Data Replication Architectures
Storage Security
Labs done using EMC Navisphere SAN Simulator
IPv6 Program
The IPv6 Program will be a 10-week program
offered through the Institute for Professional
Development (IPD), which provides certificate
programs for industry professionals who do not
wish to pursue a full academic degree.
The goal of this program is to provide students
with a complete overview of IPv6 technologies and
the key points of knowledge to transition their
organizations from IPv4-only to dual IPv4/IPv6
network infrastructures.
Program Details
The IPv6 Program is planned as a fully-online
course offering.
Course content will consist of approximately 20
hours of instructional video content, reading
materials, homework assignments, online
discussions and live demonstrations, hands-on
labs and a final cumulative project.
Course content will be released to students in six
content modules.
See detailed handout.
TDC 594: MS NEM Capstone All students in the new MS NEM program (begun
in September 2010) must complete this Capstone
course.
Students will synthesize knowledge from previous
courses to design, build, test, and demonstrate a
comprehensive network project as members of a
project team.
First offering: Fall of 2011 by J.P. Labruyere, CCIE
See detailed handout.
