positive change that can be made to any given course is the addition of experiential(active) learning.5 But is there any research that substantiates the benefit of active learning tothe student?Many studies have been done to assess the effectiveness of active learning, one of the mostinsightful works published being “Does Active Learning Work? A Review of the Research,” byMichael Prince.6 In this Journal of Engineering Education article, Dr. Prince examines what theresearch does and does not say about the effectiveness of active learning. He concludes thatstudents remember significantly more lecture content when student focused activities areemployed within the lecture. Albeit, similar results may be obtained by inserting 2-minutebreaks into the
experience.References1. H.S. Barrows, and R.B. Tamblyn, Problem-based learning. An approach to medical education. Springer, New York (1980).2. D. J.

evaluated separately from the graduate student. Let us consider the differences.First of all, in the undergraduate instructional laboratory, the experiments are usually “tried andtrue.” In other words, the professor or teaching assistant knows approximately what amounts ofwhich chemicals to use to achieve a desired result. In the graduate research lab, this is often notthe case. Sometimes, in the quest to discover new knowledge in graduate research, new and “Proceedings of the 2005 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education” 3unpredictable hazards are also

Teams of students are assigned to research and analyze the problem. Finally the students recommend a solution or course of action. 3. The student teams present their conclusions to the class. The class, lead by the professor, evaluates and critiques the team’s solution. 4. The professor completes the session by emphasizing points that are key to understanding the topic.
