Paper ID #30497Work In Progress: Utilizing Guided Worksheets to Address Gender Gap inTroubleshooting Laboratory CourseSabia Zehra Abidi, Rice University Abidi has a doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin. Her investigations in Professor Krishnendu Roy’s lab utilized in vitro 3-D polymer scaffolds and notch ligand functionalized microbeads to scale up the production of cells of hematopoietic lineage. Optimization of scaffold and microbead properties resulted in enhanced commitment to hematopoiesis and T cell lineage, respectively, demonstrating promise for cell substitutes in diseases of

computationalanalysis were compared to students who only participated in the computational research project.The initial results indicate that there was no significant difference between the survey responsesof the two groups and that a computational CURE may have similar impact without including atraditional lab component. Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver

had to determinewhether the signal was due to upper extremity movement, lower extremity movement, or a visualstimulus. This information was then used in their laboratory modules to identify the appropriateelectrode locations to optimize the BCI Maze, given that it relied on a visually-evoked SSVEPresponse.Analysis of Post-Program Teaching Staff and Instructor Interviews:The faculty and teaching staff interviews were also qualitatively analyzed to assess the feasibilityof the laboratory modules and lectures. The teaching staff and instructors perceived the BCIcourse as a feasible task for high school students to perform and understand. In particular, theteaching staff noted that students were able to understand the practical benefits and
