Functional tests were performed first using a colored dye to ensure that thedevice was properly sealed before final tests were conducted using bovine whole blood(Hemostat Laboratories, Dixon, CA). In each case, the completed devices were loaded onto acustom lab centrifuge that was operated between 1,000-10,000 RPM. The result from testingone of the designs produced by the class is displayed in Figure 1, showing separation of RBCsfrom plasma. (a) PDMS (b) Blood sample

However, experience shows that even when no guidance is provided by the instructor on the profile, virtually every group of students employs either the dog bone or rubber band designs, as shown in Figures 2(a)-(b), respectively. • Link profile thickness: Every link is laser cut from a Nylon 6/6 sheet by a technician, so the link material is not a design parameter. However, when submitting their CAD file deliverable, students must select their link thickness from three available options: 0.062”, 0.094”, or 0.124”. A thinner

First, in the weekly workshops,students were introduced to a communications skill, e.g., creating a table, and specific guidelinesfor content and formatting associated with that skill (Figure 1). Then students critiqued aninstructor-provided example of technical communications according to these guidelines, first inclass as small group activity and then as part
