Figure 1: Rubric Example The use of rubrics, as described above is similar to the use described by Powe and Moorheadin their 2006 article on the use of rubrics to grade laboratory reports7. Their combined use ofquantitative and qualitative methods in their rubrics helped standardize the grading of reports byteaching assistants who each had to grade reports for a common course. In the same manner, thefaculty advisors in the senior design course each had to grade the design report for theirindividual team, while submitting that grade for a common course. An additional benefit thatPowe and Moorhead identify is that the use of rubrics in this manner shortened the time to

The length scales involvedare difficult to visualize, the products are invisible to the human eye and in most cases thefabrication and characterization of nano-scale materials are prohibitively expensive forhigh school science programs. Moreover, the inaccessibility of nanotechnology in theclassroom reduces the student’s experience to factual recall of a list of properties andadvantages of materials at the nanometer scale. This situation does nothing to alleviatethe perception that

important aspect of this project because traditionally, the chemical engineeringcurriculum stresses the scaling up of laboratory chemical reactions to larger chemical processingunit operations and often students enter the class with the bias that chemical engineering means“scaling up”. Particularly as studies of biochemical reactions in microbiological systems, suchas proteomics or in microfabricated devices as in the body-on-a-chip described here, are soprevalent in the chemical engineering research literature, it is important that students are exposedto the possibilities and advantages for scaling down chemical processes and the related careerchoices.Student appreciation of the significance of scale down on several levels (efficiency, safety

One of the primary purposes for the reviews is toallow the assembled team and other experts to assess design decisions made and to spot potentialproblems with implementation details.
