important aspect of this project because traditionally, the chemical engineeringcurriculum stresses the scaling up of laboratory chemical reactions to larger chemical processingunit operations and often students enter the class with the bias that chemical engineering means“scaling up”. Particularly as studies of biochemical reactions in microbiological systems, suchas proteomics or in microfabricated devices as in the body-on-a-chip described here, are soprevalent in the chemical engineering research literature, it is important that students are exposedto the possibilities and advantages for scaling down chemical processes and the related careerchoices.Student appreciation of the significance of scale down on several levels (efficiency, safety

A specific source of CO2 generation is a dorm room, and that’swhat we wanted the students to investigate.The carbon footprint assignment proceeded as follows: • In your dorm, note all the electrical appliances (e.g. refrigerator, computer, lighting, cell phone charger, iPod, etc.).

In addition, teaching-oriented colleges oftenlack research laboratories, have a very limited number of graduate students, and offer little or nostartup funds to new faculty.

As my project continued toevolve and new ideas were proposed, my required list of tools increased as well. It was veryfrustrating to have to learn how to use new equipment and build new tools for the lab that wereoutside of my comfort zone. It was equally frustrating to find labs on campus with theequipment or facilities required to build my new tools (in my case, the design and fabrication ofa PDMS microfluidics device). However, looking back, I can say the rewards greatlyoutweighed my initial frustration. One of the pitfalls that you can fall
