Finally, rather than using a standalone course to teach writing,a number of engineering departments try to interweave the teaching of writing into a sequence ofengineering courses. Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched. Faculty are asked to teach greater loads, often without additional resources.One such example is Pennsylvania State University

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.
