Functional tests were performed first using a colored dye to ensure that thedevice was properly sealed before final tests were conducted using bovine whole blood(Hemostat Laboratories, Dixon, CA). In each case, the completed devices were loaded onto acustom lab centrifuge that was operated between 1,000-10,000 RPM. The result from testingone of the designs produced by the class is displayed in Figure 1, showing separation of RBCsfrom plasma. (a) PDMS (b) Blood sample

4outcomes for their focus area (Appendix A-A). The aim was to motivate student teams to thinkabout design and proper execution of an experimental plan. Upon assigning students in teams,each team member was encouraged to contribute in identifying different experimentalparameters for their team project; a preliminary list of suggestions was provided by thelaboratory technician to help students narrow-down their options (Appendix A-B). Each studentwas asked to provide rationales for their ideas and to include logs of their thought progressionduring the semester using the e-portfolio, Innovation Portal13, an assessment rubric programdesigned to help students navigate through the engineering design process. This allowed us toidentify individual growth

. Consistent with the definition of Prevention through Design, theylearn to identify potential hazards and design to prevent the occurrences of accidents and injuriesfor the benefit of everyone involved. Factors affecting level of risk include: (a) likelihood of thedangerous event occurring, (b) severity of the potential impact on a person, (c) number of peoplewho might be impacted, and (d) extent to which the impacts are controllable.Two types of risk analysis are discussed in detail. The first examines risks of failure (a system orprocess or device failing to perform as intended)—important in design for reliability. MIL-STD-1629A Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is used to assess reliability.8Students apply the FMECA method to

The strategy was to use problem oriented methodology in a collaborative setup.Results: The main learning objectives were fulfilled and students reported a high level ofsatisfaction with the content and the methodology of the course.IntroductionCollaboration in education is seen as joining intellectual efforts between groups of students orbetween students and instructors to achieve a common goal. Collaborative learning is the heart ofproblem-based learning, which emphasizes a more “natural learning” [2]. Cooperative learningrepresents an active field of
