scale.unit operations lab. Figure 2b shows the new teaching environment, which we will designate asMIL for the maker/innovation lab (known to our students as the Meldrum Innovation Lab).UOL has been used for our unit ops laboratory and senior capstone labs for decades, and is likelysimilar to many unit ops chemical engineering laboratories across the country. It contains onelarge lab area which houses pilot-scale pieces of unit ops equipment. The space also includes acollection of smaller satellite laboratories: a wet lab, analytical lab, biochemical engineering lab,and reactor laboratory. Just down the hall from this space was a small room housing our 3Dprinters. The design course that is the test course for this paper was shoehorned into this
