Although it did not appear in the internetsearch, the authors are aware of one specific project where the U.S. Department of Energy’sArgonne National Laboratory requested a team of University-of-Idaho students working on theirSenior Design Project to design, fabricate, and test a station capable of disassembling high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters. The HEPA filters are radioactivelycontaminated; consequently, the HEPA station must be located in a hot cell to minimizeradiation exposures to staff and students participating in the project.

learning to work well in engineering, it must involve problems that arerelevant and complex, but that also provide enough guidance for students to discover theintended information [3]. In addition, problems that require students to design real solutions in alaboratory environment, as opposed to simply solving problems in theory, helps provide studentswith valuable experiences and knowledge gains. While originally developed by the SloanFoundation in 2002 to apply to all engineering instructional laboratories, the following list ofareas of potential student outcomes are also an excellent guide for educational problem-basedactivities with experiential components [4].

He further statedthat when evaluating a possible investment, a key criterion in assessing investment risk is theability of the regional infrastructure and population base to be able to locally produce at least 30percent of the doctoral level engineering and science talent that will be required by the startupfirm. Thus, access to advanced academic research and development laboratories and advancedacademic programs in engineering is critical to success.Because of the need to further develop the high-tech economy, and with support from localindustry and the state government, three doctoral programs were developed over the last tenyears.

“Knowledge.” • “Abilities” refers to the power or capacity to perform an activity or task. For example, having the ability to use a variety of laboratory instruments [5], or the ability to plan and organize. • “Skills” are the capabilities or proficiencies developed through training or hands-on experience. Skills are the practical application of theoretical knowledge. Someone can take a course on investing in financial futures, and therefore has knowledge of it. But getting experience in trading these instruments adds skills [6]. • “Knowledge” statements refer to an organized body of information usually of a factual or procedural nature which, if applied, makes adequate performance on the job possible

Furthermore, without these hands-on labsthat take place in a cleanroom, microfluidics classes are often taught as theory-based, conflictingwith literature on the benefits of hands-on learning. Broadly speaking, teaching microfabricationmethods is often limited to the graduate level and/or selectively to advanced undergraduates,making this instruction inaccessible to a large population of students.Educators are beginning to successfully incorporate microfluidics hands-on activities.
