All of the questions were on a Likert scale, and the quantitativeresponses were coded such that a more positive response was a higher value and a less positiveresponse was a lower value.

As well, it is not clear that this single technological solution (onlinelectures) is warranted: particularly, in disciplines such as engineering where in-person activitiessuch as project-based learning and laboratories are necessary. As a result, there has been interestin hybrid learning techniques such as “flipped” learning7 where online lectures are used to open-up time for more meaningful activities in the in-person sessions (e.g

Our initial efforts in this area have beendirected towards the integration of these concepts in freshman and sophomore level courses. Thisprovides an experience that reinforces core educational objectives and increases student interestin the pharmaceutical field. This paper is a continuation of our educational methodsdevelopment, and will describe several pharmaceutical and consumer product educationalmodules.

These courses are inherently interdisciplinary. Students in the engineering andcomputer science fields step into physics and chemistry labs to solve science problems, ofteninvoking their own relevant expertise. In this paper we start by discussing the common themesand outcomes of the course. We then discuss three particular projects that were conducted withengineering students and focus on how the undergraduate research experience enhanced theiralready rigorous engineering curriculum.KeywordsUndergraduate research, Physics Education, Laboratory Instruction
