Typically, laboratory protocols and entirelaboratory courses are developed and taught without input from other departments and evenwithout coordination with other laboratory courses within a department. Although differentdepartments such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, and Bioengineeringshare many of the same students, regular communication on curriculum matters among personnelwho are responsible for laboratory education is uncommon. Consequently, the resultinglaboratory curricula contain

A companion report on undergraduatetransportation engineering courses had previously been published (11). Earlier, Khisty (12)surveyed 50 practitioners to suggest undergraduate transportation engineering topics. In ITE’s 1990 report, 49 topics were suggested.

as well. The wide range of students who have taken the course has necessitated the coursebreadth. Students have enrolled in the course from nearly every area of engineering (electrical,mechanical, chemical, biomedical, computer, and materials) as well as chemistry and physics,and each student therefore has unique expectations of the course. Over the past three years,average enrollment in the course has been about 40 students with about half coming fromelectrical engineering, one-third from mechanical engineering, and the remainder from the otherengineering disciplines (see Table 1). The primary limitation on enrollment has been laboratoryspace. Since microfabrication is time intensive, serial in nature, and more conducive toindividual

necessary programs and academic support to ultimately influence theirsuccess (retention and graduation) in our engineering programs.For many decades, curriculum and student experiences in engineering schools throughout the UShave been designed and developed to achieve the goal of “educating the engineer.” At the sametime, many efforts have been undertaken to understand “why” certain students are able tocomplete these curricula and others are not.2 Past studies in the literature have focused onidentifying predictors (HS GPA, standardized test scores, class rank, personality, etc., etc.) thatrelate to achieving such success.3,4 The concept is that by understanding why students aresuccessful (and not successful) we can develop admission policies

More specifically, theApplication scores (1 and 2) capture when students apply the design process as presented withintheir design curriculum. The higher Abstraction scores (3 and 4) are synonymous with the“Creating” construct in Bloom’s taxonomy 24. These scores describe when students abstract theelements of the design process to develop a more innovative solution. This abstraction allowsstudents to form a new design process from the elements of the design
