This paper first investigates the current status quo of the network laboratory and curriculum development in computing education. It further inquires into the soft skills and professional skills desired by current IT industry. It then describes our experience in developing and evaluating a sequence of seven labs that successively engages students in learning computer networking. The labs are purposely designed to meet the ABET accreditation requirements and IT industry needs. An evaluation instrument is developed to assess whether the labs meet their goals. This research could serve as a reference for the instructors who want to incorporate the real-world hands-on approach into teaching computer networking and to meet ABET accreditation requirements at the same time.
