Lab Tip 1: Magnetic Name Tags!

We wanted to make it easier for students and instructors to learn each other's names. So we found whiteboard magnets that fit on the front edge of the shelves in the lab. There were enough in the package for each student to have one all semester. And since we have metal lockers they double as locker labels between classes.

Introducing the Innovation in Instructional Laboratories (I² Lab)! @i2lab When I was named an Engineering Unleashed Fellow for 2023, it gave me the opportunity to launch my own research lab. Last semester I had three students working with me and this semester we've added two more. We are applying KEEN's entrepreneurial mindset (EM), design thinking, and universal design for learning (UDL) to make the BIOE415 laboratory space and course more accessible and inclusive. We are also looking at ways to make the course a safe space for students to learn from mistakes. More information: https://rebeccaee.com/research

Innovation in Instructional Laboratories (I² Lab) is a research group led by Dr. @RebeccaEE. The goal of the lab is to make instructional laboratories accessible and inclusive spaces for all students, allowing them to learn from hands-on STEM experiences, by creating resources for lab instructors that are informed by rigorous research in all aspects of laboratory course design.
