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

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.

This paper shares research work that involves various, example-based estimationmethods that are useful in engineering. The methods provide rough predictions of expectedoutcome, allowing students to intelligently guess a reasonable range of expected outcomes, givenbasic raw data within its necessary parameters.
