Abstract	The infusion of computer-based learning into teaching and learning has altered considerably the instructional strategy in our educational institutions and changed the teaching and learning approach. When learning a network design, one must follow it with practical methods. However, to do the practical and get involve with the real network devices result in a higher cost spending, which make practical method unsuitable. With the new era of computer technology, computer simulation has been considered as a potential method in achieving educational objectives. Thus, this study used the Technology Acceptance Method (TAM) to measure the readiness of students in using network simulation tools. This study applied the survey method where the questionnaire had been used to determined students' intention towards using the simulation tools. The key constructs in this questionnaire include perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The respond given indicates that they have agreed towards the use of computer simulation in learning network design. In conclusion, students had shown a high intention in using networking simulation tools provide a means that computer simulation is a potential method in teaching and learning network design today.
