SUMMARY:The World's Worst Optical NIC
DESCRIPTION:Danielle A.Dan Ellsworth (Colorado College)\n\nComputer networ
 king is mostly experienced as an invisible, mysterious, and ubiquitous pre
 sence.  Core problems in networking are grounded in the physicality of the
  network, which most students will not have experience or intuition with w
 hen taking a networks course.  To better ground students in the physicalit
 y of computer networking, this work describes an experimental course deliv
 ered in Fall 2022 using custom built hardware.\n\nA feature poor optical N
 IC was developed and students were directed to "reinvent the Internet''.  
 Challenges were encountered with the NICs during delivery that required so
 me substantial changes to the course during delivery.  Overall, the course
  was successful at the intended goals.\n\nTag: Education, Heterogeneous Co
 mputing, Reproducibility, State of the Practice, Sustainability\n\nRegistr

 College); Sushil K. Prasad (University of Texas at San Antonio); Satish Pu
 ri (Missouri University of Science and Technology); Apan Qasem (Texas Stat
