Abstract: In this paper, we present a new approach in the way that a network modelling and simulation or a queuing theory course can be done. Beyond the mathematical model that sometimes is too difficult for students to understand, this paper introduces the use of Unified Modelling Language (UML) as the mean to teach modelling of discrete event systems such as queues and networks. The basic course scheduling and teaching material are presented too. It is also shown how this method was evaluated by the teachers and the students that attended the course and answered a questionnaire.
