LabAbstractThere is currently a need for innovative educational experiences that unify and reinforcefundamental principles at the interface between physics, molecular biology, and the chemicalsciences. These experiences also empower students by helping them recognize how thisknowledge can be applied to develop new products and technologies that benefit society. Thispresentation describes our efforts to address this need by creating innovative hands-on labactivities that introduce chemical engineering students to molecular biology by challenging themto harness natural convection phenomena to perform DNA replication via the polymerase chainreaction (PCR).Experimentally, we have constructed convective PCR stations incorporating a simple design forloading and

Theses supervised byChemical Engineering faculty had slightly more journal citations than the overall total, whilethose supervised by faculty from Civil Engineering and Mining had substantially fewer. Thetheses supervised by Mining faculty also cited substantially more conference papers andtechnical reports. Approximately 20 percent of the citations in the Civil Engineering thesis werewebsites.Less than one percent of all citations were patent documents, which is surprising given thevolume of published patent applications related to fuel cell technology.
