Abstract

The paper presents academic content, delivery and assessment mechanisms used, available resources including initial lessons from teaching Networked Storage Technology as a special topics course to students enrolled in two specific programs - IT and CS. The course is based on the EMC s vendor-neutral Storage Technology Fundamentals course. Furthermore, this manuscript provides a detailed review of how the course fits into our curriculum, particularly, how it helps achieving the 2008 ABET assessment requirements.
