, Wireless Networking, Mobile Computing, Sensor Network, and Network Security.However, multimedia networking has not been covered in the courses. In addition, a Master ofScience in Technology program was recently developed in our department. The advancedcomputing application is one of the tracks offered in this program. So development of a graduatecourse on multimedia networking is imperative to the curriculum of the Master program.This course was first offered in Fall 2008 as a 3 credit hour course. It is offered as a seniorrequired course for the undergraduate program and a graduate elective course for the Master ofScience program. The topics selected in this course should help the students understand both thefundamentals of multimedia networking

Meanwhile, how to instruct students to establish a solid ground of laboratories skill is of critical importance.1. Industry Demand The development of computer techniques in the past several decades dramatically changed industrial behaviors as well as our daily lives. In recent years, due to the aging workforce1,2,3, and emerging techniques4, the industry demands for the entry-level engineers are tremendous.

Page 23.409.2IntroductionEnsuring that students learn the requisite fundamentals of engineering and its mathematical andscientific underpinnings is a daunting challenge; however, students benefit from theincorporation of other skills and a deeper understanding of the professional environment into thefull curriculum. Such benefits spurred the Engineering Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) to develop an outcomes-basedaccreditation initiative called Engineering Criteria 20001 (EC2000). One of the EC 2000 criteria(Criterion 3 under “Program Outcomes and Assessment”) is the necessity for engineeringgraduates to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.While considered progressive and

To train people in a broad-based environmental studies curriculum that complements our existing focused programs 2. To strengthen our research in environmental and alternative energy issuesThe programs will produce graduates prepared to meet these challenges via careers in industry,small business, federal, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations (NGO),and academic research. The Initial work of the ESE Institute was the development of world-class comprehensive and competitive undergraduate programs in Interdisciplinary EnvironmentalStudies and
