“Knowledge.” • “Abilities” refers to the power or capacity to perform an activity or task. For example, having the ability to use a variety of laboratory instruments [5], or the ability to plan and organize. • “Skills” are the capabilities or proficiencies developed through training or hands-on experience. Skills are the practical application of theoretical knowledge. Someone can take a course on investing in financial futures, and therefore has knowledge of it. But getting experience in trading these instruments adds skills [6]. • “Knowledge” statements refer to an organized body of information usually of a factual or procedural nature which, if applied, makes adequate performance on the job possible

Furthermore, of the 11 current ABET Student Outcomes only one of these, a) anability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, directly speaks to thecontent of these engineering science courses [1].Despite the prominence of engineering science courses in the curriculum, these courses havebeen studied less in engineering education research than design courses [2].

Furthermore, without these hands-on labsthat take place in a cleanroom, microfluidics classes are often taught as theory-based, conflictingwith literature on the benefits of hands-on learning. Broadly speaking, teaching microfabricationmethods is often limited to the graduate level and/or selectively to advanced undergraduates,making this instruction inaccessible to a large population of students.Educators are beginning to successfully incorporate microfluidics hands-on activities.
