Course Strategy:
SCOPE
Undisclosed Curriculum, with Laboratory introduces the student to the concepts, principles, models, and
tools used in the design of internetworking solutions for the modern enterprise business organization.
Where previous course work prepared students to understand networking at the lower OSI layers,
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM teaches students to begin at the upper layer of the OSI model and plan
a solution while working down to the bottom layer. The top-down model introduces an analytical
approach for assessing customer network requirements beginning with the applications necessary to run a
modern business enterprise. Student teams select a real business organization and then carefully analyze
its business goals and constraints; technical objectives and constraints, and supporting software
applications before designing an intelligent internetworking infrastructure. Each student team must
provide a final, tested Undisclosed Curriculum that meets business requirements for bandwidth,
convergence, performance, Quality of Service, and security. Emphasis is placed on using a hierarchical
Undisclosed Curriculum model to define network topology relationships by functional layers for both
wired and wireless networks. Teams learn how to use the enterprise composite network model for
grouping functional network areas into modular building blocks that simplify the complex
internetworking design task. A professional network modeling tool is utilized to test design parameters
for conformance to network performance goals.
Students enrolling in UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM must complete prerequisite course work in

Undisclosed-208, Undisclosed; and, either Undisclosed Windows with Lab, or Network Operating
Systems UNIX/Linux with Lab. These prerequisite courses satisfy curriculum requirements in basic
networking fundamentals before students move into higher-level course work involving advanced
networking design concepts and higher-level protocols, services, and solutions.
Upon successful completion of UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM course terminal objectives, students are
prepared to analyze the business enterprise; design or redesign an intelligent network infrastructure;
configure models for evaluating Undisclosed Curriculum capacity and performance; assimilate and
document a formal Undisclosed Curriculum proposal; and prepare a formal proposal presentation. In
addition, UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM satisfies the prerequisite for Undisclosed, Undisclosed
Management with Lab.
LEVEL
Students entering UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM must have a solid foundation in basic networking
concepts, protocols, and topologies. Students build upon LAN, MAN, and WAN knowledge as they use
new templates, tools, and models to analyze and propose enterprise network solutions. Familiarity with
network convergence and converged topologies; wired and wireless services; network component naming
and addressing techniques; protocol selection and behaviors; and security principles and concepts are
critical in the evaluation, troubleshooting, and design process.
Students must possess the capability to configure, and reconfigure, a network modeling tool and analyze
graphical output reports in order to assess critical indicators of network performance based upon selected
design parameters.
Prerequisite course work for UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM ensures that students are able to
understand the relationship of a network operating system and its capabilities for supporting various
enterprise applications, converged data, and information as it traverses the local and wide-area network
enterprise infrastructure.
-2- UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM

RATIONALE
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM, Enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum with Lab satisfies the industry
need for network specialists who understand the steps and techniques used in the analyzation, planning,
design, and modeling of intelligent network infrastructures for global business organizations.
As major telecom providers push out more efficient Ethernet pipes, high-speed wireless technologies, and
fiber-to-the-premise broadband services, their service innovations will directly impact more than 43,000
public, and non-public, US and International corporations and some 16,000,000 mid-size companies
(Hoovers.com, 2006). According to Networkworld.com (2006), enterprise IT managers will focus on
Voice over IP (VoIP), security, optical technologies, and information storage solutions through 2009 to
reduce costs while at the same time be expected to provide responsive network solutions for their
enterprise.
To meet these challenges, enterprise Undisclosed Curriculumers, engineers, and managers face the
complex task of evolving their corporate networks into new protocols, technologies, and services. Jobs for
Undisclosed Curriculum professionals with engineer, specialist, architect, consultant, planner, project
manager, and manager titles are advertised on monstor.com (July, 2006) by a variety of national and
international companies. Many job requirements request a college degree in addition to the Cisco
Certified Design Associate (CCDA) certification.
TEACHING SUGGESTIONS
Lecture-Led Classroom using iOptimize

Enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum with Lab is effectively taught in a lecture-lab classroom environment.
The classroom should be equipped with an overhead projection system so the instructor laptop, or an in-
class computer, can be connected to an overhead projector for displaying lecture materials, software
design and modeling tools, vendor web sites, and other Undisclosed Curriculum content.
Each student position should be equipped with a personal computer, Microsoft Office, a web browser, and
a professional Undisclosed Curriculum and modeling tool such as OPNET IT Guru. Microsoft Visio is
not a professional design and modeling tool at this time and should not be used to complete
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM labs.
Teaching effectiveness is enhanced by immediately enforcing lecture content with a coordinated lab
exercise. For example, a lecture introducing students to the hierarchical network model can be reinforced
by having each student design the hierarchical model.
Visio
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM provides an Visio course shell to be used by all instructors teaching in
an accelerated lecture-led course format. The course shell is preconfigured with objectives, assignments,
lectures, discussion threads, and labs for student work outside the classroom. The shell also offers a
convenient method of grade management, student messaging, course document dissemination, and
student assignment deposition.

Instructors should access the Undisclosed Curriculum University iOptimize Platform one week before the
class start date to locate their course shell. Time should be taken to become familiar with shell content
and layout; to add personal instructor information to the preconfigured syllabus; and to post a positive
welcome announcement to students. Instructors should contact their campus iOptimize coordinator if an
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM course shell does not appear in their session portal. Each iOptimize
course shell contains For Faculty sections that are strictly for instructor use and that contain helpful
information on conducting lectures, threads, and labs. Suggestions for course shell changes, additions, or
improvements can be emailed directly to the course architect whose email address is provided in the For
Faculty section under Course Home.
iLab
Accelerated 8-week and online course offerings usually provide students with access to an online,
integrated lab (iLab) environment for working assigned labs. Access to a particular iLab platform is
course dependent and automatically provided when the student completes the course registration process.
Students can then log into their course assigned iLab platform by using their normal Undisclosed
Curriculum Student D number and password. Students registering late may have up to a 2-day delay in
iLab access pending a post-registration system update schedule.
Online students may be required to use their home computer to work assigned labs using software
provided in a textbook or software downloaded from an authorized vendor with a prearranged licensing
agreement with Undisclosed Curriculum University and, and or, with Undisclosed Curriculum Online
University.
Lecture-led classroom courses may not require iLab access if equipment or software resources are part of
an on-campus classroom.
Courses may also require students to do weekly research or projects instead of online labs. It depends on
the course.
Accelerated 8-Week Schedule

In the accelerated 8-week course offerings, instructors must carefully monitor student progress to ensure
that students have time to complete required terminal course objectives. Students must remain caught-up
with in-class and out-of-class course work, labs, and projects. Team members must meet frequently to
ensure that course projects are completed on time. Students and teams that delay completion of course
work will usually be unable to satisfy course and project requirements.
Lecture-led Classroom Equipment Racks

In order to differentiate Undisclosed Curriculum University from other university programs, lecture-led
classroom environments should have equipment racks installed, and utilized, as much as possible to
reinforce hands-on lab objectives. Scheduled software labs, such as OPNET IT Guru, can be completed
by students as assigned homework under these circumstances.
Threaded Discussions
Students are required to participate in weekly threaded discussions to enhance the learning experience in
specific course topics. Properly structured discussion threads promote student involvement and lead to
greater fulfillment of course outcomes. Students must validate their discussions by posting source web
sites, documents, and other content used when researching a topic.
Course Project Assignment

A course project paper and presentation are required to allow students an opportunity to work in a real
team setting. Each team selects, analyzes, designs, models, and proposes an enterprise-sized network.
Teams follow several interrelated design models as they create an enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum
solution. Templates and decision charts, included in the Appendix, assist the student teams with how to
collect, analyze, and integrate critical information into a Undisclosed Curriculum project. Weekly

research or projects may take the place of an actual course project as they may build upon the previous
weeks work and comprise the actual course project.

grade on the project. The project paper will count as 30% of the total course grade. APA style is required
for citing in-text references; imported images, graphics, and pictures; and for formatting the Reference
page.
Lab Responsibilities
It is your responsibility to utilize lab time efficiently and to enhance your understanding of course
fundamentals by actively participating in all lab assignments. Failure to participate, excessive absences,
and failure to turn in assignments on time will result in a failing grade. Lab make-up papers will not be
accepted 7 days after the original due date. You are required to observe lab rules and regulations
pertaining to conduct, talking, safety, and equipment handling. It is your responsibility to sign the lab
attendance roster and scan-in, at the start of each lab. An official Student ID is required to scan in.
Library Resources
The library offers an excellent environment in which to study and perform research. Technical and
business books, journals, periodicals, CDs/DVDs, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet are available
to support classroom and laboratory learning. A set of Cisco books are available to supplement
UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM. A Telecommunications Resource Sheet is available at the Librarys
front desk that provides a list of information resources that will help you locate research information for
your project. Library Hours: Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.; Friday from

Undisclosed Curriculum Policy
Conduct
The Undisclosed Curriculum Student Handbook policies on conduct are to be followed at all times while
on campus. Policies are a part of every business organization and must be observed in the workplace as
well. Please review the Undisclosed Curriculum <campus state> Student Handbook.
Honor System
Professionalism, honesty, and integrity are values required of all Undisclosed Curriculum staff and
students. Cheating will not be tolerated. If someone is found cheating on an examination, an automatic
zero (0) will be assigned as a grade. This grade will not be replaced or dropped. Offenses will be
documented and reported so that further offenses are grounds for dismissal. Students are responsible for
promptly notifying their professor, or the deans department, whenever cheating is observed. Cheating
degrades our reputation in the business community and unfairly places honest, hardworking students at a
disadvantage. If you suspect cheating, report it!
Dropping Courses
Courses must be dropped by the appropriate date shown in the current term's schedule in order to be
shown as a W (Withdrawal) without penalty to your academic Grade Point Average (GPA). Courses
can only be dropped through the Academic Affairs Office. Students on the class roster after week 6 of the
accelerated term, will receive a grade.
Consecutive Absences
Please call the Registrar if you must be absent from class for more than one consecutive session. Failure
to notify the Registrar under these circumstances will result in your name being dropped from the
attendance roll. Successive failure to scan into ATS will result in an automatic drop.
Plagiarism
Using another person or authors ideas, words, expressions, findings, photographs, icons, images, charts,
or schematics in your research paper without acknowledging the source is a violation of the Academic
and Professional Conduct policy. A student who does not give appropriate credit, or reference, when
paraphrasing, quoting, or pasting anothers writings, whether bound or software, is guilty of plagiarism.
Any incident of plagiarism will result in a grade of 0 for the assignment. APA is the required style in
citing references for Undisclosed Curriculum undergraduate courses.
Additional Assistance
If you need academic help outside the classroom, you are encouraged to arrange tutoring through the
Academic Assistance Center (ASC). If you need personal counseling, the academic department will
advise you of available student counselors.
Disabilities and Special Needs

If you are diagnosed with a Special Need, please seek assistance from: 1) <Name> in Student Services for
a Physical or Mental Special Need and/or 2) <Name> in Academics for a Special Learning Need. You
must provide recent documentation stating the nature of your condition and any accommodations that
need to be met.

Testing and Grading
Test dates and content: Test dates are listed on the Course Guide Syllabus section of this document.
Test dates for in-classroom courses are subject to change at the discretion of the professor. Each test will
be developed from lecture content and lab exercises.
Do not be tardy on examination dates: Failure to report to class on time during testing disrupts other
students. Therefore, you must be present at the start of class to receive your test paper. Late arrivals will
have 5-points deducted on their paper. Online students must test with their authorized exam week.
Distractions in the classroom: Students cannot use cell phones, bring children into the classroom, or
disturb other students by excessive talking or loud behavior.
Distractions during testing: Students cannot (in addition to the above classroom distractions) leave the
room for any reason once a test starts; use a calculator or cell phone for viewing notes; leave any note(s)
or other subject materials in view; talk to other students; borrow supplies from another student; or enter
the classroom late.
Student questions during testing: In fairness to all students, the professor cannot answer student
questions related to the test once an exam starts. Students should review their test upon receiving it and
ask questions before the professor officially starts the test.
The final test is required by all students regardless of course average. The final examination is
mandatory. Students are required to take examinations on their scheduled test date no makeup tests
are administered.

UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM - Enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum with Lab
Course Project Proposal Guidelines
Project Introduction:
Modern enterprise networks are becoming increasingly complex and much more integrated into the
enterprises they serve. With the growth of the Internet, groupware, and other connective technologies and
applications, Information Systems, including networks, are increasingly embedded into the basic structure
of the modern business. Integration of voice, data, and imaging over one network infrastructure enables
employees, suppliers, vendors, and customers to efficiently access corporate information on a global
scale.
Enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum with Lab, UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM, is the capstone course
for the networking series. Your lecture and lab experience with network operating systems, LAN/WAN
technologies, converged networks, wireless networks, and network protocols such as TCP/IP and its
various services prepares you to design a state-of-the-art, enterprise network infrastructure. Your
infrastructure allows immediate communications, and data access, to business stakeholders so that they
may effectively, efficiently, and quickly analyze and resolve complex business issues.
By researching an enterprise size company and analyzing its global infrastructure, the CCDA approach
can be used to develop reliable, scalable, and secure mission critical information systems that can quickly
share data among valuable stakeholders.
A project paper and PowerPoint presentation are the required outcomes of your research project effort. An
enterprise size company is one whose geographical displacement covers multiple states and can include
overseas sites. Local enterprises do not qualify for UNDISCLOSED CURRICULUM. At a minimum, an
enterprise company should be regional in scope and consist of 500 computing devices at a minimum.
Project research teams, formed in week 1 --see the week 1 threaded discussion on Joining a project
team --select an enterprise-wide company using Hoovers.com. The team works as a Undisclosed
Curriculum team to migrate their project customer into a state-of-the-art, converged network. Teams
formally document their Undisclosed Curriculum in a proposal paper, and simulate their network model
using OPNET IT Guru Design and Simulation software. Final project papers are due in the Dropbox by
midnight on Sunday of week 7:
Teams will be made up of 2 to 3 students (no exceptions).
Each team will elect a Team Leader who is responsible for assigning, coordinating, and leading
the team effort through to completion. The team leader should email the professor with a team
name and its member names by the end of week 1.
Each team is responsible for providing a project status report to the professor every two weeks.
Status reports should be emailed to the professor. Team members should rotate this responsibility.
A status report consists of one to two lines of status information, e.g. team one is on track; team
one completed the required templates for week 2; etc..
- 33 -
Team members are expected to pull their fair share of the project load. A team member who does
not produce as expected can be expelled from the team by a majority-vote of all team members.
Team behavior and responsibility sharing will not be micromanaged by the

professor. Teams are expected to resolve their forming and storming issues and quickly
meld into a normal, performing team. Individual or team behavior/performance issues
that cannot be resolved by the team, and that are brought to the attention of the professor
for resolution, will result in an overall 10 point grade reduction in the final project grade.
Use Hoovers On-Line (www.hoovers.com) to select an enterprise-sized company to serve as

your enterprise Undisclosed Curriculum model. Your company should have multiple sites across
a region, country, or countries; currently maintains LANs, CANs, and/or MANs; support remote
users; and transports voice, data, imaging, and/or video across the WAN. (Undisclosed
Curriculum University, local medical centers, and school systems cannot be used for a project
customer).
Using the textbook, complete an enterprise composite network model of corporate headquarters
and a campus design for a branch. One diagram should be completed for each headquarters and
a branch location. All branches will follow the master branch design (boilerplate) for network
consistency.
In modeling your enterprise-size company, different sites may use different Data Link Layer 2
protocols. Adhere to definitions for segment, LAN, building network, campus network, remote
access, WAN, and enterprise network infrastructures. Examine the interconnection of various
protocols, speeds, interfaces, and media in the network. Do not forget the voice component in
your design.
Research network components, architectures, and topologies using publications, library resources,
and authentic Web sites (cisco.com, 3com.com, lucent.com, avaya.com, nortel.com, madge.com),
and other product information sources including technology white papers.
Research and cite IEEE, EIA/TIA, ITU-T, cert, and other standards for transport, cabling,
security, and protocols.
Use and document at least 5-references used in your research references must be hardcover
textbooks, technical magazines/newspapers, journal sources, or authentic web sites. Include a
References page in your proposal paper.
Write a professional, neat, and accurate project paper. You will be strictly evaluated on grammar,
sentence structure, spelling, and formatting, as well as technical and schematic accuracy. Be sure
to proof-read your final paper for typos, proper APA in-text citations, grammar, sentence logic
flow, and paragraph clarity. Use a Proposal format for your paper. Errors are easy to fix and
costly to your final grade proof read and correct errors!
Use APA guidelines and rules (see below) to reference works used, to ground your technical
assertions; to show the source used for schematics and diagrams that you did not create; and
cite product photographs pasted into your paper from vendor sites.
34 -
To avoid plagiarism, see the syllabus for Undisclosed Curriculum Online help on avoiding
plagiarism. These rules apply for all graphic images, diagrams, charts, or other borrowed
information from vendor or technical web sites that are cut and pasted into your proposal body or
appendix.
Complete a thorough OPNET IT Guru diagram showing the OLD network architecture Layer 2
Topology design only with appropriate labeling.
Complete a thorough OPNET IT Guru diagram showing the NEW network architecture both
logical and physical designs including services, speeds, addresses, naming conventions,
protocols, layers, and other pertinent information.
Create a professional PowerPoint slide presentation to supplement your oral presentation use a
minimum of 10 slides. Include an introduction slide that serves to introduce your team and shows
each members assigned project task.
Deposit your project proposal and power point presentation in the week 7 Dropbox for Project
Paper and Project Presentation. Ensure that your team names and titles are on the cover page,
and power point slide, along with your project customer name, course title, professor name, and
date. Papers should be placed in the Dropbox by Sunday midnight MT in Week 7.

Examples of APA Style:

Example of an in-text citation
When paraphrasing someone else's material, you are required to cite it. An example of an in-text citation
taken from the Top-Down Undisclosed Curriculum book by Priscilla Oppenheimer looks like this:
A good Undisclosed Curriculum must recognize that a customers requirements embody many business
and technical goals including requirements for availability, scalability, affordability, security, and
manageability (Oppenheimer, 2004, p. 6).
The citation, in this example, shows that the paragraph is taken from page 6 in a textbook authored by
Oppenheimer and published in 2004.
Please ensure that everything cited in your paper is listed on your references page and everything listed on
your references page is cited in your text. Use APA style for your references page format. A few
examples for a typical APA references page looks like this:
