an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1

within other engineering topics.Since the course’s development in 2004, many of the laboratory experiments stemmed from atraditional General Chemistry 2 Laboratory. While some biological components were integrated,the overall structure of the class was similar to that of a chemistry laboratory, where a series ofone-day experiments with multiple trials were done. The goal was to integrate the problem basedlearning approach to create an experimental process that would better align with what engineersmight experience in other project based courses using a series of problem based learningexperiments (PBLE) while increasing student engagement in comparison to traditional chemistryexperiments.Laboratory DevelopmentThe experimental topics were

requisite time frame to evaluate material retention.However, formative assessment, helps instructors to save a situation by readjusting teachingmethods and directing students to the main course concepts; thus, both parties (educators andstudents), benefit from the knowledge loop in formative assessment.Summative assessment, an alternative to formative assessment, is well suited for evaluatingmaterial retention. This is usually done at the end of a cycle with a mid-term exam, final exam, aresearch paper or project presentation. Exams are conducted in various forms: take-home, open-notes-open-book, closed-notes-closed-book, closed-notes-closed-book with cheat-sheets.

At the base of themodel, the competencies apply to a large number of industries. As a reader moves up the model,the competencies become industry and occupation specific.

For this reason, Sapir [26] described metonymy as “the logical inverse of metaphor… [with] two terms that occupy a common domain but do not share common features.”• Synecdoche is a specific type of metonymy, in which one part of an entity represents the entire entity [23]. For example, in the sentence “We need some more hands on the project,” hands refer to people.• Analogy is a broad category encompassing any figure of speech involving a comparison of domains [32], and therefore, metaphor is “a species” of analogy [3].
