Sample loading and trapping in a microfluidic device using oil and water samples. a) A cartridge of water sample and mineral oil is created in the pipette tip and loaded to the inlet of the device. b) Time-stamped images of plug motion through the device. The sample plug ( dye solution) fills the channels and traps and is sequentially digitized by the oil plug producing an array of static droplets of uniform size. c) Final static droplet array.

students choosing to continue in engineering andtake the spring semester first year course (ENGR 1320) and b) whether these students progressed intosecond-year engineering courses. At UMHB, students are first classified as engineering majors oncethey are enrolled in Calculus; as a result, the majority of students in ENGR 1310 are not (technically)engineering majors. Practically, this means that retention rates for first year engineering need to becalculated by tracking the individual progress of each student who takes ENGR 1310.Table 4 shows the retention rates of students enrolled in ENGR 1310 over the past six years. The dataare calculated using the following procedure: • Access the class roster for each section of ENGR 1310, starting in

. Whitacre College of Engineering, Texas Tech University AbstractAll undergraduate students at the Texas Tech University Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College ofEngineering (WCOE) were required to have a global experience during their studies since 2013.Despite a pause in 2020, over 3500 of our students participated in a global experience throughout theworld since 2014. This experience can be completed in terms of studying abroad, an internship,research or service abroad. In 2023, a total of 441 students joined mostly to study abroad followedby internship programs in 25 countries. The majority of students preferred to go to Europe, followedby Central America.
