, they learn that they need to employ many of their STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, Mathematics) skills in order to solve even the simple problems. Industry advisorshave clearly identified the need for students to be exposed to a real-world laboratoryenvironment where modern instrumentation and computers interface in performing dataacquisition and data reduction [7, 8, 9].Experiments play a very critical role in validating analytical models and hypotheses. Studentsmust feel comfortable in a laboratory environment and must not feel foreign to lab equipment,instrumentation, etc. Students must also feel comfortable formulating solutions to realengineering problems using all of the STEM tools available to them.

This is not to suggest that every course the College offers should be set up in adistance learning mode.

Wireless networks courses become increasingly popular incolleges (including community colleges) and universities. However, there is a real concern withthe lack of hands-on labs based active learning in computer science, engineering and technologycurriculums. Hands-on project based learning is found to be the best way of learning andteaching wireless networking technologies. These hands-on projects also provide the problembased learning (PBL).In this paper, an undergraduate computer information

chemicalengineer, it is necessary to adopt a new paradigm for chemical engineering education. Forexample, many programs are now requiring biology classes in addition to the traditionalchemistry and physics classes. An increasing number of departments are changing their namesto include some reference to biology (e.g., chemical and biochemical engineering, chemical andbiomolecular engineering). Product design is either replacing part of or complementing processdesign in the capstone experience. There is a strong movement to alter the fundamental chemicalengineering curriculum common to virtually every program to include the colloid-scale, nano-scale, molecular-scale, and atomic-scale technologies that are at the forefront of chemicalengineering research.1

TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) ensures a department’s overallteaching product and program content. However, the department is made up of its faculty, andevaluating teaching effectiveness of individual faculty has historically been troublesome. TheDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) has recently adopted a new policy for evaluating individual faculty members’teaching contributions to the department and college. The impetus for the new policy is toreaffirm a commitment to undergraduate education, improve teaching in
