Providing students withhands-on models of fluid mechanics using microfluidic devices can provide students with toolsto conceptualize the material and become aware of the interdisciplinary area of microfluidics thatencompasses engineering, biology, and chemistry [2]. Exposing students to this growing fieldhelps prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers to solve challenges in healthcare,biology, and the environment through microfluidics.Development of microfluidic systems is particularly useful for studying vascular cell behavior asit can create more accurate in vitro environments [3].

University and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Civil EngineeriDr. Rebecca Mazur, ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023IntroductionUndergraduate-level engineering courses can sometimes be experienced by students as asemester-long march through content, with few opportunities for intellectual excitement ormoments of deep cognitive engagement. This type of coverage-focused teaching persists despitethe well-recognized need for instructors to “consider not only the content and topics that makeup an engineering degree, but also how students engage with these materials” (Smith, et al.,2005, p. 97). The extent to which students are given opportunities to engage deeply with andmake sense of engineering content may play a role in

Most processes operate 24/7, and designs must provide reliability to prevent even a shortstoppage that requires a few hours to regain normal operation, because of potential higheconomic cost. Certainly, the selection of materials of construction that are suitable for processconditions (extremes in pressure, temperature, and compositions) is essential for highly reliableprocesses, and many resources are available for proper material selection12. Also, mechanical“ruggedness” is important; for example, a mixer and impeller should function for years withoutfailure. The range of designs, along with guidelines for selection, is available from equipmentsuppliers. In addition, equipment should be used after an initial time for “break in” and
