changes in our environment and to better prepare ourstudents to be future academic leaders.IntroductionPreparing Future Faculty (PFF) programs typically meet three standard requirements: 1. they focus on the full spectrum of faculty roles and responsibilities with regard to teaching, research, and service, and how these responsibilities may be interpreted in different institutions; 2. they provide participants with multiple mentors and feedback not only on their research but also on teaching and service; 3. to accomplish these goals, they involve a cluster of institutions, with one doctoral degree-granting institution partnering with a variety of other institutions.The 12-year-old Preparing

The idea is to use simple strategiesto adapt undergraduate laboratories on computer networks to the teaching of VoIP protocols.New laboratory experiments were created to introduce our junior-level undergraduate students to Page 22.21.3VoIP protocols, such as the session initiation protocol (SIP) and the real-time transport protocol(RTP).However, industry support is essential to the success of this VoIP initiative and the creation ofnew laboratories, in terms of industry - donating equipment, - funding student workers and

educators to work with professional practitioners in practice-based fields suchas engineering. Similar sentiments are expressed by the National Academy of Engineering intheir recent report Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century17.Yet there are three interrelated challenges in bringing professional practice more fully into theclassroom. First, while college professors have expertise in teaching, they often lack the modernpractices required in fields that are constantly changing. The workaday demands of the full-timeacademic make it difficult for college teachers to keep up with state-of-art practices, even forthose with a strong background in industry. Second, while professional practitioners possessstate-of-art technical skills
