idea of doing research on one’s ownteaching [18] are both relevant. This idea has also been taken up (independently) in the US byAngelo and Cross [22], and Cross and Steadman [23]. The former concerning ClassroomAssessment Techniques (CATS), and the latter, classroom research. We are strongly influencedhere by the position of Patricia Cross, who claimed that teaching in higher education would notacquire status until teachers treated their classrooms as laboratories for research. The “new”discipline of engineering education research, the question of who should be doing it, and how itcan be accomplished with rigor has been discussed at FIE and ASEE since 2000 [24]. Takentogether, these essays argue that there is such a thing as a “scholarship of

The goals of the program areincreased student innovation, creativity, collegiality, and entrepreneurship, all while broadeningthe undergraduate talent pool.The programmatic elements are focused on integration of arts in STEM (i.e. STEAM) to achievethe stated goals. The centerpiece is the infusion of STEAM content into laboratories and coursesdistributed throughout a model engineering program in Metallurgical Engineering.

Initial funding forthe teaching lab came from an NSF CCLI grant awarded to establish a facility that would bejointly used by BioEngineering and Biological Science students interested in neuroscience.(Unfortunately the aim of having a lab jointly populated by BioEngineering and BiologicalSciences students never materialized.)The NE Lab course in its current form was offered in spring of 2005 to 4 students.

A vibrant, utilized laboratory isviewed as key to capturing student interest and growing a new electrical engineering track.The demonstrators are intended to extend the student exposure from instructional-gradeequipment to commercial grade and in the process provide some experience in component sizing,packaging, nameplates, and industrial performance.

The labs run on real devices which needs a budget. Those networks aremaintained by technical staff and shared by all the users, so students only have limited access tothe networks. Besides the traditional networking laboratories performed on real devices, there aresome other approaches to teach networking labs, such as virtual lab software13 and simulationtools. Simulation software1,5,8 can be used to simulate the network environment, so realequipment and networks are not necessary. For example, VMWare1,12 is used widely in theteaching of computer networks

Leaving laboratory equipment in thesespaces is not practical or feasible. Most modern lecture halls, however, have computerizedaudio-visual projection equipment permanently installed. These sensors are small enough to fitinto a pocket or briefcase making them as easy and convenient to carry into the lecture hall as apiece of chalk.Another reason computer-based sensors have not been widely used during lectures lies in thelearning curve associated with most new software and trying to conduct a meaningful andsuccessful demonstration within the lecture time frame.
