In an effort to engage thesurrounding communities, New York City public and private high school students wereintroduced to the field of pharmaceutical engineering over the course of six weeks. Through theuse of lectures, teamwork activities, and laboratory experiments, students learned about thefundamentals of oral solid dosage forms, drug dissolution, and experimental design. Examples ofexperiments performed include building their own “in-house” drug dissolution devices, studyingthe effect of impeller geometry and velocity on dissolution rates, and obtaining drug dissolutionprofiles for various oral solid dosage forms containing Ibuprofen using UV-Vis spectroscopy.Students were also trained in

In forming these new directions within the laboratoryexperience, we need to rethink traditional methods to become more flexible and challenging tothe individual student.
