This evaluationthus served as a baseline to evaluate the outcome of the teaching model.Students were also given a post-laboratory evaluation following the final laboratory portion ofthe exercise. The evaluation contained a variety of questions that sought to determine how muchknowledge students had retained regarding flow cytometry/cell sorting, as well as opinionquestions regarding flow cytometry and engineering research (Table 2).Due to variation in attendance, more students participated in the post-laboratory evaluation (42students) than in the pre-lecture evaluation
