ABSTRACT
This paper describes the development and implementation of our networking curriculum in light of 2008 ACM IT curriculum recommendations. The networking curriculum was designed specifically to raise the level of learning effectiveness based on Bloom's Taxonomy (BT). BT is also used to specify assessable learning objectives in measurable terms. The paper details the process of implementing such a curriculum and provides the rationale behind some of the key decisions with regard to the curriculum design.
