the relevance of the skills being taught in the course. To address thisfeedback, the instructor chose to make significant changes to the design of the course. In the firstiteration of the course design, class time was devoted largely to instructor-led demonstrationsand student practice limited to the laboratory sections of the course. Pedagogically, theseparation rested on the assumption that students would need to have these skills modeled by anexpert before they could apply it for themselves in the lab sections. With the availability of videotutorials and other support resources that students could access from increasingly ubiquitousdevices; the instructor chose to collapse the differences between the lecture and lab sections;shifting the

Students liked much about the approach, finding the student instructors“personable”, “friendly”, and “approachable”, but students also found the student instructorsamateurish and inexperienced, making comments related to unpreparedness, disorganization, andunclear expectations. Suggestions included having the professor lead the course and having thestudent instructors as secondary instructors. The model in this paper differs from the Kendall andWilliams model in that the professor remains the main instructor and only about one-fourth ofthe lectures are delegated to students with the professor providing oversight and collaboration.Bailey [2] used a peer-teaching pedagogy in a laboratory course.

We present a laboratory project designed to stress this point to students taking a first-year graduate introduction to microsystems. The pilot group found the results surprising andcounter-intuitive. It appears that the project was instrumental in clarifying key concepts inmicrofluidics. IntroductionAfter several decades in which microsystems research mainly addressed electromechanicalsystems [1], the focus has begun to shift to fluidic systems. This shift is driven primarily bypotential application of microsystems to chemistry, biology and medicine [2]. An introductorycourse in

the product’s behavior during testing cannot shapeiterative design efforts if they go unnoticed. What students learn as they iteratively plan, buildand test their designs depends in part on whether their attention is focused or diffused. Helpingteachers to get students to notice critical and problematic features in their designs is a challengethat may be helped with the simple application of the 4-item diagnostic reasoning protocol usedin this study, though the efficacy of such actions will require future testing in laboratory andclassroom settings.
