Teaching Principles of Biomaterials to Undergraduate Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic with At-Home Inquiry-Based Learning Laboratory Experiments
Chemical Engineering Education, v56 n1 p22-35 Win 2022
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many universities have switched to online learning platforms, which inhibits engineering students from completing formative hands-on experiments. To address this, we developed at-home experiments for an undergraduate biomaterials course. These inquiry-based learning experiments were well received by students and resulted in positive learning gains by pre/post-test assessment. These results motivate the use of similar experiments to remotely teach engineering concepts to wider audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
