Biofabrication of Neural Organoids: An Experiential Learning Approach for Instructional Laboratories
Caroline Cvetkovic; Sarah Lindley; Holly Golecki; Robert Krencik – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Biomedical engineering (BME) is a multidisciplinary, constantly advancing field; as such, undergraduate programs in BME must continually adapt. Elective courses provide opportunities for students to select topic areas relevant to their interests or future careers. Specifically, laboratory courses allow experiential learning in specialized topics…

Noach Treitel; Einat Kohn; Ruthy Sfez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A multistep assembly of gold nanoparticle self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on glass surfaces is proposed, as a third-year undergraduate experiment. The process includes self-assembly (SA) and electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) methods, which are central approaches in modern surface and materials engineering. The products are analyzed using…

Suzanne Lightsey; Michele Dill; Madison Temples; Taylor Yeater; Sarah Furtney – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Hands-on laboratory courses seldom appear in biomedical engineering (BME) graduate programs, thus limiting graduate students' ability to acquire wet laboratory skills like cell culturing. At large, BME graduate programs rely on ad hoc training provided by senior graduate students; however, this method cannot be extended to new or non-BME…

Celdran, Alberto Huertas; Clemente, Felix J. Garcia; Saenz, Jacobo; de la Torre, Luis; Salzmann, Christophe; Gillet, Denis – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
A smart campus provides students who are geographically scattered with online tools to get access to learning resources and laboratories. Although these remote laboratories have the potential and capabilities to implement different learning experiments, most of them are configured in a static fashion, being able to serve only one experiment for a…

Fonseca, Cecilia S.; Rosa, Clarissa H.; Lopes, Toni J.; Rosa, Gilber R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This report presents a miniproject for teaching sustainability through the production of adsorbents from sewage sludge. The activity was tested during the Physical Chemistry II portion of an Agro-Industrial Engineering Course and lasted 4 weeks. The activities developed by the students included preparing the adsorbents ("in natura,"…

Wallen, Scott L.; Dhau, Jaspreet; Green, Robert; Wemple, Laura B.; Kelly, Troy, Jr.; Collins, Brent – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Over the past decade the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) has changed the general chemistry requirements to include a single introductory course for most engineering majors. There is a focus on outcomes that equip students with the ability to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam and to work in…

Walls, William H.; Strimel, Greg J. – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2018
Administration and funding can cause Engineering/Technology Education (ETE) programs to thrive or die. To administrators, the production/prototyping equipment and laboratory setting are often viewed as the features that set ETE apart from other school subjects. A lab is a unique gift as well as a responsibility. If an administrator can see that…

Reed, Philip A.; Ferguson, M. Kathleen – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2021
Tremendous teacher shortages and shifts in the preparation of technology and engineering (T&E) teachers have been occurring for some time (Litowitz, 2014; Moye, 2009; Volk, 1997, 2019). The training and certification of these teachers is extremely varied since each state certifies T&E teachers independently and most states offer several…

Virginia Jiang; Matthew Lucia; Scott Banta; Christopher V. H.-H. Chen – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
We developed a remote lab experience where freshmen grew and analyzed the activity of sourdough starters as a means of engaging with chemical engineering concepts. This six-week hands-on activity was targeted due to its low-cost, non-hazardous materials, and ability to be conducted safely in a non-laboratory setting. By designing the lab to be…
