andMcFarlane also found that playing games can support valuable skill development such asstrategic thinking, planning, communication, negotiating skills, group decision making, and datahandling.16 Other studies completed by Macy, Squires, and Barton and Dede have concluded thatgame-based learning has enabled a merging of play and learning which can lead to stagedlearning opportunities that replicate real life and the transfer of knowledge learned from onesituation to another.16 These studies support game-based learning having the capability to notonly allow students to develop communication skills but also learn the ability to transfer theseskills to other contexts.After determining how games influence students’ perceptions of important communication

administered at the beginning of the studio project, itis expected that start-up adjustments and normalization of student attitudes would lower theoverall perception of the students. The perceptions for the junior-level courses and thedistributions between the two classes are very similar despite being implemented by entirelydifferent personnel. Such a result is a positive indicator of the benefits of the systematicimplementation plan described above. While the majority of student responses for all threeclasses are positive, a lower fraction of sophomores perceive value. There are several plausiblefactors that may contribute to the difference between sophomores and juniors. As the

choosewhich topic was most interesting and join the team. Timing was such that the first item (theAgreement of Cooperation19) was due at the end of the first week of class so that the teams werestarted quickly with a clear, immediately milestone. Feedback was given on these agreements sothat students had all discussed how to deal with conflict, differing work ethic, and how to bestrespect each other’s ideas. The schedule and plan of progress reports were outlined in thesyllabus on the first day of class for the students. The progress reports were: • Team’s Agreement of Cooperation: Outline goals and guidelines of group participation. • Progress Report 1: Introductory description of proposed, novel analytical

preventsome student teams from going down the wrong track entirely and missing some of the primaryconcepts of the lab. A more formal method of communicating team experimental plans (eithervia a short written description or an in-person meeting with the instructors) could go a long wayto ameliorating these issues in future versions of the course.Conclusions and Future WorkThe revision of a unit operations laboratory course to be more open-ended and focus on technicalcommunication resulted in many positive outcomes: increased student self-efficacy in the areasof communication skills and design, achievement of course learning objectives, and increased in-lab student engagement. With regards to self-efficacy improvements, there was no perceivedeffect of
