microliters (đL), of aqueous analytethrough the hydrophilic (non-wax) channels through capillary action (Figure 1d). The analytecan be thus âpumpedâ toward regions with pre-deposited reagents, providing a chemical sensingplatform that can be customized for the analyte. The analyte can be qualitatively or quantitativelycharacterized through color of the reaction product or other means, such as sensing current froman electrochemical reaction (Li, Ballerini & Shen, 2012). This technology platform has thepotential to serve as an ultra-low cost sensor for disease vectors or toxins; upon completion ofthe test, the paper device, typically on the order of cm2 area, can be burned to eliminatehazardous waste. a b c

engineeringeducation. They are an important way to assess how well the students have learnt the theoreticalmaterial and how skillfully they can apply it to real life situations. At Rowan University aMaterial and Manufacturing course is offered every spring semester. For the Spring 2015semester a hands-on lab component on material testing was conducted while for Spring 2016 asoftware simulation based project was assigned. The objective was to assess a key pedagogicalparameter âachievement of ABET student outcomesâ, focusing mainly on (a) an ability to designand conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (b) an ability to design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints and (c) anability to communicate
A, B, C, D, and E) are given in Tables 1-3, with results shown from both Parts 1and 2. These students each show a variety of misconceptions about the atomic arrangements onthe given planes. These misconceptions exist after learning the material formally in lecture, andcan be compared to Krause and Watersâ 2009 post-test results [2], which required students tosketch some of the same planar arrangements in crystal structures after receiving instruction onthe topic.Part 1 elucidated several misconceptions in studentsâ understanding of crystal structures. For theBCC (010) plane (Table 1), students A and B both erroneously included an atom in the center ofthe plane, whereas students C and D had the corner atoms touching. Student E showed both

Over a third of campus studentsreceived grades of âAâ compared to about 22% for distance students. The average class grade inthe on-campus group was 84.5% and the average grade in the distance group was 80.3%. Thehighest grades in each cohort were 97.4% (campus) and 94.0% (distance), respectively.Table 12: Final grades in the course DEDP Campus D/F/W 26.1% 12.8% C 21.7% 10.6% B 30.4% 42.6

good complement to the instructorâslectures for engaging students in the class.At the end of the semester, we assessed teaching and learning effectiveness through aquestionnaire handed out in class, which included three questions directly related to the groupproject: 1. Do you agree that the group project is a good way to learn the fundamental concepts of materials science? a. Strongly agree b. Agree c. Neutral d. Disagree e. Strongly disagree 2. Which of the following has been the best source(s) for you to learn the course materials? a. textbook b. Lectures c. Homework d. Group project e. Quizzes and midterm exam 3. Which of following has been the most useful in helping with self
students worked on these research teams they were asked to do peerassessments of their team members. Many times students want to be nice to everyone and sayeveryone did above average. To avoid this the following method was used. For a four personteam, you need to assign 400 points to the team (including yourself). If some gets more than a100, then someone else must get less than 100. An example from fall 2014 is shown below intable 4. The shaded boxes are scores that students gave to themselves.

laboratory experiments.The first pre-laboratory exercise involved designing an experiment that characterized the surface energyof polystyrene (PS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). In the second pre-laboratory exercise, a protocolwas developed for preparing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels that matched the compressive propertiesof native cartilage. Based on your experiences with these pre-laboratory exercises, please indicate yourdegree of agreement with the following statements.Additional Questions:How did the pre-laboratory exercises affect your understanding of the material taught in the lab?How could the pre-laboratory exercises or laboratory experiments be changed to enhance your learningexperience?Any other comments?Appendix B
