However, with the fast development of Information Technology, there are some new factors that we need to take into consideration. In Computer Network & System Administration (CNSA) program at Michigan Technological University, we design a new script programming course to better prepare students for the needs of industry. In this paper, we present the design of the new script programming course. We incorporate the web-related scripting technologies as well as Windows-related scripting technologies in the new course. Compared with traditional scripting courses, the new course covers a wider and more diverse range of topics. In the new course, the lecture notes are carefully designed so as to illustrate scripting languages through examples. We train students to learn to search resources and solutions using Internet and Google. We utilize Virtual Machines to set up lab environment. The lab assignments are designed to further students’ problem solving skills and learn “hands on” programming. The new script programming course aims to provide students the opportunity to learn multiple scripting technologies, and gain hands-on experience on scripting. A computer-related program named Computer Network & System Administration (CNSA) was introduced at Michigan Technological University in 2002 [1]. The purpose of this program was to serve the needs of industry by educating and training students to succeed in the field areas of systems administration and network engineering. An integral part of the CNSA curriculum is the three-credit hour course entitled Script Programming – SAT3400. Traditional script programming course usually concentrates on Unix Shell scripting and / or Perl scripting. However, with the fast development of Information Technology, there are several factors that we need to take into consideration when designing a new script programming course. First, the popularity of the Internet makes web-related scripting technologies become more important. It is necessary to include web scripting technologies like CGI (Perl), ASP.NET and PHP. Second, the increasing market share of Microsoft Windows Servers makes Windows scripting technologies become more popular. It is helpful to include Windows scripting technologies like Windows batch file and VBScript. Third, in the “real-world” environment, the system administrators are likely to be exposed to multiple scripting languages. It is important to let students know the links
