faculty in their transition to using evidence-based teaching strategies. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Impact of Course Structure on Learning and Self-Efficacy in a Unit Operations LaboratoryIntroductionIn the chemical engineering curriculum, the unit operations laboratory course traditionally servesseveral key roles in the development of students as professional engineers. The primary goal ofthe course is to apply chemical engineering theory learned in core courses to the operation ofequipment. As part of this process, however, numerous additional skills are often also learnedand/or emphasized: experimental design, instrumentation, technical communication
