Out of concern for student safety, lab practices arereviewed. For accredited institutions, policies about safety in laboratories are documented inself-study reports to the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the AccreditationBoard of Engineering and Technology (ABET) [1]. Therefore, all institutions have documentedsafety policies, but those may not be publicly available.Students should be trained in how to safely conduct experiments.

Thesimulation, “Wagons R Us”, required the students to assemble wagons using K’NEX plasticcomponents as their raw materials.The simulation begins by having students participate in and observe an extreme case of atraditional production system. According to Dr. Ann Stalheim-Smith, “active learning is not aspectator sport”.2 Therefore, the exercise required each student to actively participate.
