semester, students responded to a ‘Laboratory Departure Worksheet’ intendedto model an exit interview. Students provided feedback on their laboratory teammates(distribution of work load, ability to learn/teach each other) and the work environment (availableinstrumentation, lab management by instructor). In addition, students responded to the followingquestions related to their personal growth throughout the semester:  What have you learned (big picture) as a result of participating in this lab?  In what ways, if any, has your motivation for studying AE or BE changed?  Define your major (AE or BE) in your own words.Informed consent was obtained for this study (IRB # 20150815495 EX) and placed in a sealedenvelope to be opened at the

Science & Technology. His research focuses on spectral imaging for predicting food quality (beef tenderness) and early diagnosis of human diseases (peripheral arterial disease). He has active research in the area of food safety engineering through integration of heat transfer model and predictive microbial growth/death models for food safety risk assessment. Every fall, he teaches a large sophomore- level class on engineering properties of biological materials, which consists of both lectures and laboratory sessions with an enrollment of more than 70 students. Every spring, he teaches a junior-level course on principles of bioprocess engineering which has an enrollment of about 25 students.Dr. Ashu Guru, University of

of Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering and a professor of Engineering Education at the Ohio State University (OSU). She earned both her B.S. in agricultural engineering and M.S. in biomedical engineering at OSU, and her Ph.D. in environmental engineering at Clemson University. She worked for an engineering consulting firm before entering academia and continues to collaborate with the consulting industry. She has taught courses in bioenergy, biological en- gineering, capstone design, HVAC, thermodynamics, waste management, professional development, and engineering teaching. Her research interests include energy, the environment, and engineering education. She is assistant dean for teaching and learning
