However, designing ormodifying a course on these topics can be challenging due to competing priorities such asmeeting learning objectives related to breadth vs. depth, ABET criteria, preparing studentsfor the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and maintaining within-institution courseequivalencies.

Therefore, we feel the need for creativeinstructional strategies to ensure that these requirements extend beyond the boundaries oftraditional course objectives.According to the American Chemical Society’s guidelines on laboratory curriculum and skills,the primary imperative in laboratory instruction is to enable students to understand how to"connect experiment to theory" [3].
