This research is to design a curriculum for the students who will be dealing with the image processing techniques, and at the same time, network security has been considered as well. The goal of this curriculum is to prepare the students attending higher education systems or the novice network engineers for a fundamental knowledge in network systems and required skills. As such a basic design has been common in other curriculums, this study will also add another critical issue to its contents; the problems associated with network security which is becoming more serious every year. The curriculum consists of 6-hour courses during which students can learn about some of the basic network configurations while experiencing typical operating processes where Java language skill is required. The introductory-level graphic processing techniques are provided in the curriculum through several case studies and some specific network attacking methods and their outcomes will be introduced and discussed. In each course, the communication protocols, available services and problem solving methods are described and explained and the students' level of understanding and final achievements will be measured based on the assignments given to them. For instance, in imaging process, the students are to classify applied protocols and services on the basis of individual definitions and port-numbers assigned, followed by image capturing and transferring of captured image to the text box for an image printing task. Meanwhile, the network security courses involve analyses of packet traffics which will allow the students to locate the host or origin of malicious attacks exploiting malignant packets to sever communications or shut down entire systems. In the future extended study the author will extend the courses to provide in-depth knowledges while transforming the curriculum to make it more adaptable to non-IT or non-science majors.
