1. However, a perceived inability to assess creative attributes of students’ work has oftenprecluded creativity instruction in the classroom. The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT)has shown promise in a variety of domains for its potential as a valid and reliable means ofcreativity assessment. Relying upon an operational definition of creativity and a group of ratersexperienced in a given domain, the CAT offers the field of engineering education an assessmentmethod that has demonstrated discriminant validity for dimensions of creativity as well as fortechnical strength and aesthetic appeal. This paper reports on a web-based adaptation of the CATfor rating student projects developed during a week-long engineering camp. High school

design processskills are not unlike decision making skills employed in real-life. However, describingengineering to pre-college students in these foreign terms may be intimidating2 which mayinhibit students from pursuing engineering in college. Therefore, there is a need to advertiseengineering for what it is: implemented problem solving.Engineers are natural problem solvers and seek challenge. Allowing novice engineers (pre-college students) to practice and develop their problem solving skills through design allows themto connect concept with implementation and verification thereby enhancing understanding andinterest while reducing apprehension to “engineering”. As students achieve success in smalldesign projects, their confidence is increased3

Communication and networking courses, especially wireless communication andnetworking courses, have become an integral part of the Electrical Engineering, ComputerScience, and Computer Engineering curricula. However, most of these courses are taught atmany institutions without a laboratory. For those courses associated with labs, often specialhardware based experiment systems are used. These experiment systems are expensive so mostschools cannot afford them. More importantly, such systems lack the flexibility to evolve overtime and adapt to different environments.
