An exampleof a completed problem set will be presented in the poster presentation.Synthesis of Nanoscale ParticlesDr. Robert Krchnavek has led the efforts in this area along with undergraduate student JohnCarroll. A series of laboratory experiments suitable for high school students, are beingdeveloped. These laboratory experiments reflect the importance of nanoscale drug particles. Ourexperiments intend to demonstrate (i) the enhanced solubility of a nominally insoluble particleby creating a nanoscale version of it, (ii) demonstrate the various methods of achievingnanoscale particles that are relevant to the bionanotechnology industry. Of course, the greatestchallenge in this endeavor is to create laboratory experiments with

in standard laboratory settings acrossselected courses, using a model engine as the unifying theme4-6. This proved to be a more cost-effective way to give students hands-on experience in a range of issues involved in productrealization.The lack of hands-on experiences in specific manufacturing processes has been identified as oneof the major competency gaps in manufacturing engineering education. In 1997, the Society ofManufacturing Engineers (SME) launched its Manufacturing Education Plan (MEP) to addresskey engineering competency gaps of new graduates that it had identified7. The gaps identified in1997 were revised in 1999 and revised further in 2002-03. The latest rankings are shown inTable 1. (Note: higher ranking indicates larger

The Polytechnic had eleven degree awarding departments and the curriculum of allthe departments were developed using models from Polytechnics that existed in theUSSR at that time. Furthermore, the laboratory equipment to support the curriculum wasalso based on the technology in the USSR at the time. The curriculum was developedover three decades ago and has not been updated in the light of new technologicaldevelopment around the world.Since then, the beautiful campus of KPU has reverted to a wilderness and the buildingshave been severely damaged due to neglect and war damage.

Laboratory experiences are costly both in terms ofinstructor time and money, especially in the case of damaged equipment [1]. Thus, to overcomethis, various courses have attempted to use web-based laboratories to educate engineeringstudents on electronics such as PLCs [2, 3]. However, this approach waives the inclusion ofexperience-based hands-on education, which is considered to be a crucial part of the laboratoryexperience

]. Simplylecturing about these steps is insufficient to give students the experience necessary to effectivelyiterate in teams. Failure is one of the main reasons for iteration, but is difficult to teach about.The ability to identify and assess failures or other reasons for iteration can only be properlylearned through hands-on experience. Previous studies have highlighted the ability to teach suchconcepts using hands-on activities such as model building and laboratory exercises. Lemons etal. showed that model building helped students generate ideas, make ties between concept andphysical object, and finally make the students more away of their process-based strategies [6].Mackenchnie and Buchanan have employed hands-on activities in a laboratory class using
