Salvador Gallegos-Martínez; Kristen Aideé Pérez-Alvarez; Grissel Trujillo-de Santiago; Mario Moisés Alvarez – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2025
Purpose: Hands-on training in tissue engineering is often associated with specialized labs and expensive equipment, such as CO[subscript 2] incubators. To minimize the use of costly commercial incubators and provide a more vivid engineering experience in a biology lab, we present a hands-on project that introduces medium to large groups of…

Honda, Gregory S.; Pazmino, Jorge H.; Hickman, Daniel A.; Varma, Arvind – Chemical Engineering Education, 2015
A chemical engineering PhD student from Purdue University completed an internship at The Dow Chemical Company, evaluating the effect of scale on the hydrodynamics of a trickle bed reactor. A unique aspect of this work was that it arose from an ongoing collaboration, so that the project was within the scope of the graduate student's thesis. This…

Novak, Elena; Wisdom, Sonya Leach – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2018
We designed a "3D Printing Technology Science Project" as part of a science methods course to engage preservice teachers (N = 41) in a 3D printing project that they could implement with their future elementary school students. The goal was to introduce prospective teachers to engineering design and technology application ideas and…

Bulunuz, Mizrap – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2015
Problem Statement: Research studies indicate that teachers with negative attitudes toward science tend to use didactic approaches rather than approaches based on students' active participation. However, the reviews of the national academic literature in Turkey located a few research studies on the relationship between playful science experiences…
