In addition to the comparisonsand training in operation of all three instruments, the ion chromatography enables students toanalyze compounds, such as Fluoride and Bromide, for which students cannot test with pre-existing equipment and within current laboratory time constraints. Acquisition of the ionchromatograph has permitted students to use smaller sample sizes and less chemical reactions,thus reducing laboratory waste generated by other current methods. The IC allows students tocollect and manipulate instrument data via an interface to a Windows-based

Integration of the FIRST effort into the universitycommunity, especially faculty and student involvement, has proved difficult. Many of thedifficulties have been overcome so that the WPI experience may provide useful experience forother universities.IntroductionWPI entered the first competition with a robot designed and built by research engineers from themanufacturing engineering laboratory along with students from a nearby high school.

An active classroom exercise is used to bring the experience of the subject matter intothe classroom when covering this chapter. Laboratory exercises for the course still utilize thesteel tape. Thus, error corrections for temperature can be used to reinforce the concept of error.An Internet investigation assignment is used to get students to search beyond the class textbookand reinforce the types of error that occur with EDM and GPS equipment.

In an effort to engage thesurrounding communities, New York City public and private high school students wereintroduced to the field of pharmaceutical engineering over the course of six weeks. Through theuse of lectures, teamwork activities, and laboratory experiments, students learned about thefundamentals of oral solid dosage forms, drug dissolution, and experimental design. Examples ofexperiments performed include building their own “in-house” drug dissolution devices, studyingthe effect of impeller geometry and velocity on dissolution rates, and obtaining drug dissolutionprofiles for various oral solid dosage forms containing Ibuprofen using UV-Vis spectroscopy.Students were also trained in
