Depending on the number of reactions being performed in this lab, extrameasuring equipment may be needed (100 gram scale, graduated beakers, graduated cylinders) toset up measuring stations that are shared.This version of the lab activity is appropriate to save time or if students don’t have basicchemistry experience. If class time is very limited, the reactants can be premeasured for eachgroup to save time.3) Lab Activity with Process Parameter WorksheetIn this version of the lab, students are given a worksheet with higher-level process parameters,and they must calculate the measurements for the
also decreases a student’sresistance to change and will therefore make them a more effective engineer in today’sconstantly changing world. In a recent study on the environmental awareness of engineeringstudents and their resistance to change, Weber found that students who lived in or near urbanareas had less resistance to change.4 Given we are a rural state, it stands to reason thatengineering students would tend to be more resistant to change than those from other, less ruralstates.In addition to producing engineering graduates who can function effectively in today’s economy,engineering colleges desire to produce leaders who can thrive in the global economy. Thisrequires a broad understanding of the world, global issues, policy, and

It also seemsthat teams who incorporate pedagogical research produce more sophisticated apparatus from adesign perspective. Finally, reflections of the students involved in the development of theseexperiments are examined in order to gain insight into how students perceive and usepedagogical information in their designs.IntroductionIt has been established by a number of authors that laboratory experiments and experimentalapparatus can be effectively designed by undergraduate students. There are a number of reasonsto use undergraduate students to create lab experiments
