Development of Wearable Chemical Sensors: An Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment Facilitating Knowledge and Expertise Integration
Yizhen Jia; Prasad Nithianandam; Tzu-Li Liu; Jinghua Li
Journal of Chemical Education, v100 n9 p3595-3603 2023
This report presents an interdisciplinary approach used in undergraduate laboratory classes to bridge the gap between scientific advances, engineering efforts, and practical applications in daily life. The field of biointegrated electronics is highlighted as an excellent opportunity for building interdisciplinary learning models, leveraging expertise from multiple research areas. Wearable glucose sensors are presented as a promising application that requires knowledge of chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. The laboratory experiment module provides students with hands-on experience in designing, fabricating, integrating, and testing wearable glucose sensors. This lab class serves as an example of how interdisciplinary research can be integrated into undergraduate education and offers values, skills, and experiences for future careers.
