real-worldproblems gives the students an understanding of how their experimental work relates to theirother courses and the world in general, which provides context and may increase motivation.Given the workload, a best practice may be implementing these methods incrementally ratherthan implementing a wholesale change in a course.The guided inquiry-based methods applied in this materials lab course can be applied in all typesof classes, but methods are most easily transferable to laboratory, design, and problem-basedproject courses. For future iterations of this course, we are redesigning the two structuredinquiry-based labs using guided inquiry approaches and will be continuing to collect data toassess their effectiveness.I.

Figure (2) shows thedemography of the two programs.In the solar technology projects, we partnered with a South Korean research and teachingschool. Students built the solar cell in our laboratories and the energy storage device inSouth Korea. This division was selected to take advantage of the research capacity of thetwo institutions.The other program introduced bioengineering research methodologies practiced in thepharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to a group of self-motivated high schoolstudents, with three visiting graduate students majoring in strategic design, with no priorlab experience, joining from Ontario

work environments [1]-[6]. Among them, most prominently are writing andpresentation skills. A parallel curriculum addressing these non-scientific/technical skills isusually a strong contributor towards these goals. Another tool generally more directly controlledby science/engineering faculty is using courses in the discipline, especially laboratory courses, toemphasize writing components and/or presentation skills. Lab reports can serve as a very goodtool to sharpen writing skills or, more extensively, the skills needed to produce a coherent, wellthought, well-written scientific paper or technical report.A more comprehensive approach to different paths and philosophies for the teaching of writingskills and its balance can be found in the

is often introduced as a part of a product lifecycle. Furthermore, some engineeringcurricula include sustainability modules and/or courses where a product lifecycle is analyzedthrough a prism of environmental responsibility such as in simplified lifecycle analysis (SLCA)[11]. In this work, the lifecycle of a laboratory experiment/exercise is defined and analyzed withrespect to the concept of a product lifecycle. It is assumed that the product (in this case a lab) isdynamic, i.e. it changes with time, and that it is brought into existence due to technologicaladvancements, the technological push. The ten stages of a lab lifecycle are need, conception,funding, purchasing, installation, development, deployment, enhancements, maintenance

The accompanying laboratory includes experiments onmeasurement of the IV characteristics of these devices and derivation of small-signal modelsfrom those characteristics. Experimental procedures for measurement of I-V characteristics havebeen in place at the University of Texas at Tyler for a number of years, but the development of“lab-in-a-box” solutions (such as the National Instruments myDAQ) has provided impetus toredesign these experiments to be compatible with that paradigm. To that end, the University ofTexas at Tyler has designed a curve-tracer module that is compatible with the myDAQ andwhich allows students to make direct measurements of I-V

related to biomedical nanotechnology. The results are not surprising, but it does supportthe idea that students in the lab had improved learning related to the lab content, 10 weeks laterduring the final exam. Overall, the students benefitted from the lab experiences as they were ableto achieve certain laboratory objectives and performed better on the final exam questionscompared to students not in the lab.One goal of the development of these labs was to create a course sequence directed towardbiomedical engineering students. While part 1 of the sequence is very chemistry related, thesynthesis of gold nanoparticles is a logical first step as these nanoparticles are used in part 2 andpart 3 of the study.
