It is customary that most I.S. related degree programs include a course in data communications and networking. However, it is unusual to find a course in wireless communications. A course in wireless communications and networking should be considered to be a part of the I.S. and I.T. academic curricula. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relevance of wireless communications and examine the topics and the challenges associated with teaching wireless communications courses.

Keywords: wireless communications, wireless networking, wireless LANs, curriculum development, data communications
