The PLTL program has showed her how satisfying and important it is to share your knowledge with peers on a similar path as you. Besides helping others succeed in their college courses, the PLTL program has made her a better individual and student. After graduating with her associates degree, Karla plans to pursue a field inspector position in order to obtain experience for her future career.Dr. Janet Liou-Mark, New York City College of Technology, CUNY Dr. Janet Liou-Mark is a Professor of Mathematics and the Director of the Honors Scholars Program at New York City College of

Significantly, both alumni in industry indicated that they were teaching, reinforcing theidea that teaching is a component of many careers that BME PhDs will find themselves in.

prevent curing. Therefore, we recommend polyurethane rubber bands and polyethylenegloves. While curing, the surfaces are level so that silicone remains distributed evenly while it isviscous. In cases with shorter class sessions (45 minutes), students should have time to plan,prepare, and pour their molds, letting them cure overnight. We have used toaster ovens asincubators during longer class sessions (90 minutes) to accelerate the cure time allowing studentsto complete multiple fabrication stages during one period. Note that material used in making themolds must be tolerant of 150 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. After the soft robot part is cured,it can be removed from the mold.Inextensible LayerThe bottom layer of the gripper is adhered with

However, there arelaboratories in engineering and science that the DB PRL approach may not work for. Such labs oftenrequire sophisticated instrumentations for measurements and analysis.Throughout the DB PBL experience in Solid Mechanics Lab, the challenges of procurement of parts andmaterials were significant.
