As more data are created and streamed the high variability and highvolume as well as variety of formats are at issue [2, 5, and 7]. The incoming data from a Web log,unstructured content from the Internet, need to be captured, tagged with metadata and hierarchical filesystems.As the volume, complexity, variety and velocity of digital data grow faster by the day, we need to findsolutions to use these data in productive

]. Traditional assessmentmethods including exams, quizzes, and homework assignments are primarily designed tomeasure the effectiveness of engineering curriculum in skill development. The skills alone do notguarantee that students will be successful through the engineering program and in their futurecareers. A major element of success is the will and belief to perform with the acquired skills. It,therefore, becomes important to measure and clearly comprehend changes in the students’resolve as they progress through the curriculum.A very important subject in the undergraduate engineering curriculum is engineering modelingand design.

With the eagerness students show in using computers, attempts should be made to channel that interestin a way that is educationally most beneficial to them.

Inspeaking for the Chemical Technology program, it may be one of the first times in thecurriculum that students encounter a course which forces them to take charge and ownership oftheir education. In other words, the course material is not fed to them, but it becomes thestudents’ responsibility to acquire and sift though the mass of information available on aspecific topic and decide its worth.
