This required students to familiarize themselves withFusion360 and the 3D printers, which satisfied both learning objectives 1 and 5. During the Xraysection of the course, the students brought their phantoms to a research imaging facility wherethey were able to create Xray images and CT images of their phantoms. For the CT portion ofthe course, students used visible light and simple backprojection to reconstruct a wooden block.For the ultrasound unit, students arrived in the lab to their phantoms obscured by milk and had touse the ultrasound images to identify which phantom was which

Professors recognize theopportunity for students to engage in such active learning during laboratory courses and haveemployed successful methods of doing so that foster meaningful engagement [2,3,4].

By the end of the course, students implement a number of FIR and IIR filtersas well as a variety of other signal processing techniques and use them to analyze ECG signals.At the beginning of the course, an ECG laboratory teaches about analog signal acquisition andpreprocessing by having each student build circuitry on a breadboard for amplifying his/her ownECG. Students use this ECG amplifier circuit throughout the lab course to provide live ECGsignals to the input of the microcontroller as one test of their filter designs.Students individually complete all the course prelabs and work individually on the first five in-lab experiences.

Furthermore, without these hands-on labsthat take place in a cleanroom, microfluidics classes are often taught as theory-based, conflictingwith literature on the benefits of hands-on learning. Broadly speaking, teaching microfabricationmethods is often limited to the graduate level and/or selectively to advanced undergraduates,making this instruction inaccessible to a large population of students.Educators are beginning to successfully incorporate microfluidics hands-on activities.

Many students’ experiences in engineering reflectlearning experiences developed from cognitive perspectives. Lectures, modeled demonstrations,and guided inquiry such as prescriptive laboratory classes align with cognitive theories, thatinformation is individually acquired [24], [35]. We do not claim that students were aware of theirtheoretical stance on learning. Rather, our finding that the majority of students within our studydescribe learning cognitively provides insight into another potential barrier to address whentranslating active learning
