Looking for convergence: laboratory learning and classroom learning

Over the last two years we have been conducting NSF-sponsored research on learning in engineering research laboratories so as to identify the activities and tools used to support engineering learning outside the classroom. At the same time, we have been using a problem-based learning approach in our undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. Our goal is to identify ways in which these two sites for learning converge and diverge. Session participants will help us with this task by examining and analyzing data from both sites.
