Max Chen; Yichen Li; Hilson Shrestha; Noe¨lle Rakotondravony; Andrew Teixeira; Lane Harrison; Robert E. Dempski – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Industrial and academic laboratories are undergoing a paradigm shift in process technology from batch to modular flow. Implementation of modular flow processes can enable more efficient operation with superior throughput, scalability, and safety factors owing to superior transport and reaction kinetics. However, both fine chemical and…

Williams, Ursula J.; Dries, Daniel R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In order to evaluate students' development of scientific competence at the intermediate level, a guided-inquiry course was developed to increase student independence, including opportunities for project ownership and significant collaborative learning expectations. A survey was developed to assess students' experiences learning the scientific…

Harmer, Nicholas J.; Hill, Alison M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the move to online teaching and assessment. This has created challenges in teaching laboratory skills and producing assessments that are robust and fair. Our solution was to use bespoke laboratory videos to provide laboratory training and to generate unique data sets for each student in coursework and exams. For…

Battista, Geoffrey A.; Manaugh, Kevin – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2018
As social and postmodern ontologies continue to shape our definition of space, undergraduate instructors have struggled to incorporate these paradigms in the geography classroom. Recent research suggests that practical applications using field work, qualitative research, and geographic information science can augment students' understanding of…

Witherow, D. Scott; Carson, Sue – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
The study of protein-protein interactions is important to scientists in a wide range of disciplines. We present here the assessment of a lab-intensive course that teaches students techniques used to identify and further study protein-protein interactions. One of the unique elements of the course is that students perform a yeast two-hybrid screen…

Saavedra Montes, A. J.; Botero Castro, H. A.; Hernandez Riveros, J. A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
Many laboratory courses have become iterative processes in which students only seek to meet the requirements and pass the course. Some students believe these courses are boring and do not give them training as engineers. To provide a solution to the poor motivation of students in laboratories with few resources, this work proposes the method…

Macias, J. A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Project-based learning is one of the main successful student-centered pedagogies broadly used in computing science courses. However, this approach can be insufficient when dealing with practical subjects that implicitly require many deliverables and a great deal of feedback and organizational resources. In this paper, a worked e-portfolio is…

Bolanakis, Dimosthenis E.; Kotsis, Konstantinos T.; Laopoulos, Theodore – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
In the last decades, the technological and scientific evolution of the computing discipline has been widely affecting research in software engineering education, which nowadays advocates more enlightened and liberal ideas. This article reviews cross-disciplinary research on a computer architecture class in consideration of its switching to…

Ronsheim, Margaret L.; Pregnall, A. Marshall; Schwarz, Jodi; Schlessman, Mark A.; Raley-Susman, Kathleen M. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2009
We describe a new approach to teaching introductory biology. Our introductory experience for undergraduates is a laboratory course that is entirely inquiry and discovery based. We introduce our students to fundamental concepts in biology in the framework of three multi-week laboratory modules, each of which is an open-ended investigation of a…
