educational enterprise.To keep engineering courses relevant, faculty often bring in current topics to their undergraduateclasses. In the ideal world (or department), faculty engaged in research will teach undergraduatecourses in the same discipline area. Bringing in research work performed by undergraduatestudents into undergraduate courses has the important benefit that the coursework is still fresh inthe undergraduate student's mind. The key benefit a faculty member has when integratingresearch results from undergraduate students is by observing how the undergraduate researchstudents learn the necessary research material based on the foundation concepts originally usedin the classroom. From these observations, the faculty mentor can determine the

Secondly, there was no clear definition of course expectations of level of complexitybetween upper and lower division course work. Thirdly, the "old" criteria allowed for a staticprogram, that is, a program that does not change in response to student needs or respond tochanging technology. Lastly, and most importantly, it did not provide a standard by whichanyone could measure the effectiveness of the delivery of the program.

However a review of the literature shows increasinginterest in and merits of including a laboratory in a data communications and networking course.One such early work by Smith [1] emphasized a very basic approach to instruct in networkprotocol. His approach of limiting communication to the serial port of the PC’s allowed for thedevelopment of an inexpensive laboratory. A similar approach was presented by Akhtar [2]whose laboratory experiments emphasized different communication protocols.

The reason for this interest is that there are a number of advantages ofinternet educational delivery systems over the more traditional approaches of mailingvideotapes or delivering live satellite broadcasts. Compared to videotape, for example,the internet allows for very rapid distribution of course materials to remote students, andis free from the problems associated with different video standards throughout the world.Delivering video across the internet also allows for much more efficient browsing ofvideo material. Specifically, the video may be indexed so that the viewer may quicklyjump to specific portions of the lecture. Or a scroll

There is littletime available for lecturing during these sessions, and no formal lectures are required in order forthe students to complete their assignments. Of course, our faculty naturally inject shortpresentations on material relative to their areas of expertise in order to make the dissectionexercise a meaningful introduction to the engineering education they are about to receive.For any course, especially a course in a new area, it is vital that a faculty member takesownership of the
