assignments. The assignmentshave been designed based on the real life ergonomic problems in different areas ofergonomics. The students were challenged with five different assignments coveringdifferent sections of ergonomics, work design and safety. In addition, each student needsto submit a term paper or case study focusing on any specific application area ofergonomics towards the end of the semester. For each assignment, the students wereasked to study and investigate the ergonomic issues from their daily life accessories,classrooms and laboratories and offer possible solutions for the non-ergonomic designsand issues. For each assignment, the students need to prepare a report including the imageand brief description of the non-ergonomic design

and Monitoring Test Chips through Manufacturing Processes  AbstractCurrent Techniques of diagnostics use expensive laboratory equipment. These costs are leviedupon the patient. Medical costs have increased to astronomical numbers and have crippled theaccessibility to healthcare technology. Simplified miniaturized laboratory processes areconsidered ‘lab on a chip’ medical diagnostics devices. In recent years, microfluidic projectshave proved highly effective in introducing traditional engineering students (electrical,mechanical, and industrial) to clinical diagnostics and the emerging field of point-of- care (POC)tests.

]. Simplylecturing about these steps is insufficient to give students the experience necessary to effectivelyiterate in teams. Failure is one of the main reasons for iteration, but is difficult to teach about.The ability to identify and assess failures or other reasons for iteration can only be properlylearned through hands-on experience. Previous studies have highlighted the ability to teach suchconcepts using hands-on activities such as model building and laboratory exercises. Lemons etal. showed that model building helped students generate ideas, make ties between concept andphysical object, and finally make the students more away of their process-based strategies [6].Mackenchnie and Buchanan have employed hands-on activities in a laboratory class using

Readings were assigned out of a manufacturing textbook, the manufacturing processeswere described during traditional academic lectures, and tests were proctored to assess studentlearning. The 1-credit-hour lab was used to tour five local manufacturing facilities throughoutthe semester.

Otherinstructors have used extensive simulations 13 and haptics 14 to enrich dynamic systems andcontrol courses.The abundance of online videos on control-related topics along with the relative ease with whichinstructors can create and distribute their own lecture videos has brought into question how to bestuse face-to-face instruction time.
