Abstract
This paper describes the development and details of a unique degree program in wireless information systems. The wireless curriculum in most engineering schools deal with the lower layers of the OSI model and emphasize traditional digital communications and electromagnetics. The Wireless Information Systems (WIS) Track at the University of Pittsburgh adopts a systems approach that will enable the students to obtain a grasp of all issues required for design, deployment, management and administration of future wireless information systems.
