However,regardless of the preferred approach, few studies have detailed the use of hands-on experimentalexperiences to teach the practice of process safety in engineering at the undergraduate level [3],[10]. We have previously reported on the utilization of problem-based learning (PBL) andproject-based learning (PjBL) tools in our undergraduate chemical engineering laboratories topromote self-directed learning and contribute to the formation of skills required by the modernengineering work environment [11]. In this study, we expand on the use of our laboratories

) laboratory experiencesand (3) case studies.2,3,4,5.In our course we are taking the approach of using both a simulator (Control Station)6 andexperiments based on classroom experimental kits.7 In many case we are using an inductiveapproach with these tools. The inductive approach to teaching and learning is to begin withparticulars and build to generalities. This is “backwards” from how we often naturally teachstarting from general principles and then applying them to particulars. The inductive approachis the way most things are discovered and clearly how an infant learns, but it is not the way mostcourses are taught. It, therefore, requires we think differently about how we approach theclassroom.8-13A clear and helpful critique of traditional

Previous exposure to an undergraduate-level physiology course is helpful, but not required. A standard undergraduate physiology textbook3 is used. • One three-hour laboratory per week: Each laboratory is restricted to eight students working in groups of two. There are four laboratory sessions per week and total enrollment is capped at 32 students. The instructor and one trained teaching assistant are present at all times during the labs. • Online course administration: Most of the course material, including lecture notes, homework assignments
