Laboratory projectshave been shown to enhance development of discipline-specific skills and general research skills.Additionally, longer-term laboratory projects may allow students to develop skills associatedwith undergraduate research experiences. Undergraduate research has been shown to increase Page 13.316.2student satisfaction with education and serve as an “educational and personal-growth experiencewith many transferable experiences.”7,8The specific nature of student involvement in a course has a significant impact on studentsuccess and satisfaction.9-12 Biggs and Moore classify four types of motivation:12

dual-task learning 4. A NEA Higher Education Journal article in 2008 by Charles J. Abaté(professor of electrical and computer engineering technology at Onondaga Community CollegeNew York) summarized the learning situation as follows 5.“When I use the term “multitasking,” I refer to an attempt by individuals to engage in severaltasks in rapid linear succession (rather than simultaneously) where at least one of the tasks is aconceptual learning activity……Thus, when a person is distracted, habitual learning actuallytakes over from declarative learning. In this sense, the two types of learning appear to competewith each other. And because procedural learning is more limited in applicability thandeclarative learning, it is “inferior” learning, to
