-level, stand-alone course or in a cleanroom, which maynot be practical in an undergraduate BME curriculum. 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. Forexample, one paper describes the development of a mass conservation laboratory module using amicrofluidic device for undergraduate fluid mechanics education
includesestablishing an interchange of actions between the student and the video. Screen capture withCamtasia has the advantage of requiring a relatively small initial capital investment and logisticswhen compared to a video recording studio.Based on the experience of Professor Santiago to teaching the laboratory content of EE110, shebelieves that more videos may be needed to provide additional help for students [3]. For onlinedelivery, a problematic issue is helping students troubleshoot their circuits [3]. Hangouts, Skypeor video chat sessions with either the instructors or with other students are possible solutions.Another means is the development of a troubleshooting checklist for students to follow beforerequesting instructor help.Learner Control

The instructors of the two sectionscoordinated and synchronized their lecture topics, shared their lecture notes throughout thesemester, and met weekly—with their shared teaching assistants—to discuss issues related tostudent learning and course activities. Additionally, the two sections shared laboratory sections 3and used the same graded assignments and tests. Results of this study again showed that studentsin classes with CCEs score higher on the CS knowledge test than students in non-CCE classes,further supporting the hypothesis that CCEs contribute to learning core CS concepts.Recent Findings The most recent extension of our project is the investigation of the impact of CCEs

The new Phase Sensitive B1 mapping technique describes B1 homogeneity better than the standard dual angle method and for a broader range of flip angles under high noise situations. Thus, Phase Sensitive B1 mapping is a much better candidate for sodium MRI, with high noise and large B1 variation.7.
