Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities have switched to online learning platforms, which inhibits engineering students from completing formative hands-on experiments. To address this, we developed at-home experiments for an undergraduate biomaterials course. These inquiry-based learning experiments were well received by students and…

A unit operations laboratory course was significantly modified to be an open-ended problem-based experience with an emphasis on teamwork and communication skills. Students were surveyed to assess gains in engineering self-efficacy as well as to indicate which course structure components were most beneficial to learning. Students showed significant…

This paper describes a simple, cost-effective experiment which introduces students to drug delivery and modeling using alginate beads. Students produce calcium alginate beads loaded with drug and measure the rate of release from the beads for systems having different stir rates, geometries, extents of cross-linking, and drug molecular weight.…

Provides a profile of Scott Fogler of the University of Michigan faculty of chemical engineering as an outstanding educator. (SL)

Describes an undergraduate/graduate course in polymer science engineering which stresses industrial implications. (SL)

Presents an imaginary dialogue between: (1) a student in search of a research project and (2) a professor in need of a research assistant. Various issues in engineering, chemical engineering, engineering education, and engineering research are addressed during the hypothetical discussion. (Author/JN)
