project based upon sound curriculum. The challenge for the project was to create anactivity involving a simulation-based video game relating to a particular aspect of IndustrialEngineering. The activity was to then be used as a laboratory exercise for INEG 1103:Principles of Industrial Engineering and also modified for use as a classroom activity for juniorhigh school students. Obviously, a major issue was designing the activity with a proper level ofdifficulty for both age groups while keeping the subject matter relevant to meaningfulengineering and junior high instruction.The materials developed are intended to help students acquire fundamental problem solvingcapabilities as well as a basic understanding of some tools used in Industrial

Although thisbecame a learning moment in engineering education, its discussion or laboratory reenactmentexhibits synchronicity between the instructor and the learner and not the learner and the event.This asynchronous experience has the students learning about the event with a historicalsensibility. All of the relevant conclusions from academia and practice are available in the publicdomain. When engineering programs lack courses engaging real-time phenomena, they mayinhibit students from thinking critically and formulating their own opinions and conclusions fromlive events.

Thus, we are taking advantage of ourcommunication networks modeling and simulation course to teach new technologies andprotocols and test their integration.As an example of this approach, this paper presents a course project that our junior studentsperformed. The goal of this project was to evaluate voice over IP (VoIP) over 802.11 wirelesslocal area network (WLANs). As discussed in [1], “both IP voice and 802.11 WLANs are newtechnologies, and so the base of practical experience in merging the two is small.” Voice over IPapplications are real-time applications

The capstone experience inthe Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at WSU is that of the‘authentic involvement’ type and somewhat unique in that it requires students toparticipate in two dissimilar semester-long, group projects in industry. Studentsare required to enroll in the class in their last two semesters. Therefore, thestudents take the class twice.

. BackgroundOutreach programs by colleges and universities that are intended to disseminate engineeringknowledge and applications into local K-12 schools are not, in themselves, new concepts. Theuniqueness and specificity of the interactive nature of such programs are indeed the requisitecatalysts for new visions.
