A 95% confidence interval was used (p < 0.05) to indicatesignificant statistical difference in the year-to-year data.Results and DiscussionTo analyze how the structure of lecture/course delivery in a Biotransport Laboratory correlatedwith student perceptions of the course, we analyzed data from three years of student end-of-course evaluations. Assessments of overall satisfaction with the course, course content, coursestructure, and teaching methods are analyzed to quantify the difference between the 3 yearsbeing studied.Overall course satisfactionStudents were asked to rank their

Engineering Education, 2018 Exploring an inquiry-based learning with peer-teaching pedagogy in a physiological signals lab courseIntroduction and BackgroundActive learning can support meaningful engagement with science concepts and practices, whichhas been known to improve students’ affect toward science [1]. 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]. Onemethod of active learning and enhancing student engagement is using inquiry-based learning in alaboratory environment. This method also helps to develop creativity and critical thinking skills[8,9] which are

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.

Small groups, guided by upperclassmen lab managers, teaching assistants, and faculty,work through five modules including modeling human efficiency, the arm, and thecardiovascular system, as well as a foam core design project. By the conclusion of the fifthmodule, an independent modeling project, 96% of the students appreciate the value of working inteams to tackle complex challenges.
