The production and reproduction of know-why is often organized in specialized organizations, such as research laboratories and universities. To get access to this kind of knowledge, firms have to interact with these organizations either through recruiting scientifically-trained labour or directly through contacts and joint activities. ◊ Know-how refers to skills or the capability to do something. Businessmen judging market prospects for a new product or a personnel manager selecting and training staff have to use

Overview and Problem IdentificationWe assessed the cognitive style and learning preferences of students enrolled in Introduction toEnvironmental Engineering (CE334) at UW-Platteville. This course is required of all Civil andEnvironmental Engineering students, and contains three 1-hour lectures and one 2-hourlaboratory period per week. Dr. Parker taught the two laboratory sections during the period ofthis study. The course contained 44 juniors and seniors, and included students who enrolled attheir first opportunity and students who put it off until their final semester.Engineering students at UW-P who have made it through the challenging calculus, physics, andchemistry requirements (such as those enrolled in CE334) appear in general to be more

EducationThere is an interesting trend with respect to copying. 96.8 % of students believe that copyingfrom another student during an exam is cheating. This number drops to 72.0 % for copyinghomework from another student, 59.1 % for copying laboratory reports from previous terms,49.3 % for copying homework from previous terms, and 17.9 % for copying passages out of thetextbook. There is a corresponding increase in students who thought these acts were unethicalbut not cheating. Exams, laboratory reports, and homework are all methods of assessing studentperformance in a class and all play a role in the final grade, yet students are obviously making adistinction between them. In most classes, exams weigh more heavily towards the final grade thanlaboratory

Adding to the confusion, engineering faculty do notalways understand how the common forms of “active learning” differ from each other and mostare not inclined to search for answers.

is the critique phase of SBLwherein the Evaluation (Evaluate) level of the taxonomy is clearly invoked. This aspect oflearning is not incorporated in many active learning procedures but clearly is an essential part ofSBL.A drawback to the implementation of SBL in a traditional class is that it is time-intensive. Asthe title suggests, this technique has most frequently been used in studio-based classes. The classtime allotted for studio sessions is more typical of that for a laboratory class in engineering—twoto three hours. So while the SBL approach might work in a class for which an extendedrecitation section is part of the class, the time constraints inherent in a typical one-hour classwould seem to be a large impediment to using SBL.

Microfluidic devices manipulate fluids using channels with height or width at a micro- or © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section Conferencesub-millimeter scale. One of the most striking and promising applications of microfluidics is tocreate lab-on-a-chip (LoC) environments in which full laboratory-scale procedures can occur on afootprint smaller than a notecard. LoC devices can be used for detecting and manipulating specifictypes of cells, creating point-of-care diagnostic devices, and developing drugs [3,4
