Courses before thiseffort could be characterized by their reliance on lecture, exams, and content mandated byABET. Future courses should be characterized by their use of project- and problem-basedlearning, rubrics measuring complex problem solving and decision making, and professionalcontent associated with real-world engineering deliverables.II. Course Redesign in the Test BedTo facilitate this change, the E2R2P team will redesign courses in a test bed, using the guidance,feedback, and collaboration of university faculty comprising a sounding board.

The hierarchy of virtuallaboratory development is shown in Fig.1. At the bottom of the pyramid are recreativelaboratories, a term coined to indicate that modeling, simulation and visualization have beenused to recreate a physical phenomenon in the virtual domain. These laboratories or simulationsare ideally suited for demonstration of many complex physical phenomena in a qualitative sense,and would generally lack interactivity – the ability of a user to manipulate the physicalphenomenon through inputs.
