Engineering continues to be a strong topic of focus.Students are continually challenged to be mindful of soft skill issues associated with being aprofessional engineer; however, the retention of that knowledge is low. The prevalence ofincreasing student awareness in process safety and ethics beyond the textbook requiresinnovative ways to bridge the discussion between fundamental course content and experientiallearning. Given the time constraints of contact hours an instructor may have for a course, theintegration of practical discussions can be pushed aside to ensure the learning outcomes are met.This, however, can be a disservice to the students as they prepare to take up jobs either in a co-op/internship or full-time position.One approach to

they did. After doing this over a period of time, students were able to make some ofthis visualization in their mind and subsequently were able to solve problems without making apictorial translation. Experience in this course showed that an initial training in problem solvingthrough pictorial translation followed by its slow phase out helped biologists to embrace thequantitative learning style typical of engineers. This change is crucial for further learning ofengineering concepts. Efforts will be made in the future to quantify and study the change inlearning style through surveys and other assessment methods.Smaller is better:Lengthy problems and derivations in engineering can intimidate non-engineers.

15 teams. Through the use of iterative inquiry,student teams in the virtual laboratory project utilize their run data in the constant creation,revision and utilization of modeling components. This leads to a wide variety of project solutionpaths. Overall, this preliminary result shows that virtual laboratory project experience isvaluable to students, as it provide an environment that affords the development of rich model-based solutions. It must be kept in mind that physical laboratories will always have an importantplace in the curriculum of an engineering student, and as such, it is encouraged that both types oflaboratory projects are utilized.References 1.
