. Because best practices suggestlimiting course outcomes to six or under [7], [8] it is unrealistic to think that faculty canadequately assess all thirteen learning outcomes for engineering laboratories described in Table3. This report based on responses from faculty supports the notion that not all lab learningoutcomes are equally important and points towards candidates for a focused set of outcomes thatshould be more thoroughly assessed. Departments should be mindful when determining whichlearning outcomes are best-suited for the ChE laboratory courses, with consideration of whichoutcomes translate to ABET criteria as well as which outcomes can be taught and assessed inother courses. While this paper focuses on understanding how faculty perceive

;scientific communication [24, 25]. For case study, the surveyed literature was used to assessknowledge and understanding, perception, and social communication [12, 23].Implication of the study The scoping review shows that most online lab studies focus on the use of online labs tofacilitate knowledge and understanding. This limits our understanding of how engineering labscan be used to facilitate many of the learning outcomes outlined in Brinson’s framework oflearning outcomes. Future studies may explore how online labs can be used to promote otherlearning outcomes that the KIPPAS suggests. Also, future studies could conduct the reliabilityof the identified assessment tools and other assessment tools such as model design andconstruction, mind and

allow students to understand the theoretical models pertaining to the experiments and 1appreciate how theory and practice come together, and which further validates results fromsoftware models. For each design experiment, the guidelines are formulated with the ABETOutcomes in mind. This course focuses on three outcomes as defined by ABET Criterion 3 forthe BSME programs; they are as follows:Outcome 1: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems byapplying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.Outcome 5: An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a
modular water bench and fountain design project for an undergraduate fluid dynamics laboratoryAbstractA laboratory pedagogy that values inquiry-based instruction is under development at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to satisfy ABET Outcome 6: An ability to develop andconduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment todraw conclusions. To do so, there is a need for laboratory equipment that provides flexibility forstudents to experiment with an array of flow devices such as pipes, elbows, pumps, valves, andmeasurement devices such as differential pressure transducers and flowmeters.A modular water bench has been developed with a design project in mind whereby student
, redesign the molds, and produce electromagnets ourselves).If this were to be attempted again, appropriate time and a finalized rubric from the outset wouldbe instrumental in ensuring a project that fulfills the outlined requirements. Particularly thecreativity aspect was developed later in the project, and as a result, the produced prototype didnot adhere to the rubric well. With these in mind from the start, a more creative magnetic softrobot could have been developed (e.g. an ocean-themed tentacle robot).ConclusionThe learning outcomes for this soft-robotics-themed project address several needs of theengineering education space.
