depth and breadth in the subject area with significant flexibility in coursechoices enriched by the liberal arts. The new biomedical engineering curriculum consists of 130credit hours spanning a 4-year academic plan. The program curriculum consists of five integratedcourses in biomaterials and biomechanics, three integrated courses in medical instrumentation andimaging, one course in design and development, two elective courses, and two capstone designcourses, as well as courses in general engineering and basic sciences. Six biomedical engineeringcourses include laboratory components. A pre-med track is available for the students.

transition to a flipped classroom model to enhance learning and was in the middle of a 4-year transition. The Covid-19 pandemic decreased the period for this transition to 2.5 years.Rapid conversion of courses is an un/fortunate side effect that the Covid-19 global pandemic hadon academia. Zoom based dialogue, instruction, and teaching became necessity. [1] While eachdegree program and course comes with challenges, biomedical engineering laboratories andcourses have their own due to the varied natures of biomedical engineering curriculums. [2]Biomedical engineering laboratories have challenges as discussed by Lancashire et al. [3] Thegeneral consensus among faculty at Texas A&M Biomedical Engineering was to simply “liveZoom teach” for the
the IRES program, six rising juniors/seniors will be sentto Stockholm, Sweden for 10 weeks to conduct hands-on bioinformatics research at The Sciencefor Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab). Criteria for inclusion in the program include: successfulcompletion of a bioinformatics-related course, enrollment in a primarily undergraduateinstitution (PUI) in Southern California, and interest in pursuing graduate studies inbioinformatics. To ensure a diverse cohort of students, women, black, latinx, Native American,and LGBTQ+ students are especially encouraged to apply. The facilities, research environment and research techniques at the foreign research siteare unique in the world. SciLifeLab is home to over 1,500 researchers across more than
, medicine, andmore. For example, an “Engineering Education Island” virtual world was created via SecondLife [3]. This island featured a virtual laboratory with multiple floors and exhibits such as ACgenerators and DC motors. For creating detailed laboratory exhibits Second Life might be anideal platform. However, users must download software and register for an account, and thecreation of scenes is a labor-intensive task for the instructor. For simple, ready to use scenes tohost small group discussions Mozilla Hubs is a more efficient platform for both instructors andstudents.Figure 1: Mozilla Hubs poster session example.

virtual offering.Traditionally, BME seniors took this laboratory course before senior design to gainmanufacturing skills and approval access to the university machine shop. During the ten-weekcourse, they would learn how to operate the drill press, lathe, mill, and laser cutter to machinetheir own digital microscope using manufacturing plans given to them and watching the teachingassistant (TA) perform a demonstration. However, the virtual offering requirement shifted themain deliverables from simply machining a device to developing the manufacturing plans tomachine said device. Although completing both is ideal, there is still great value in learning howto use your resources and learned machining knowledge to develop rational manufacturing

Sighting this demand,engineering educators around the world are now making efforts to change the curriculum byadding an EM based course or incorporating associated modules into their courses. Students canexplore EM concepts related to real-world social issues and expand ‘professional skills’ such asrecognizing opportunities, creativity, communication, leadership and adaptability throughexperiential learning modules. Such modules can be easily integrated into design-based coursesas well as laboratory courses to provide students with a hands-on experience and expose them toopen-ended questions. However, it is

Specify the equipment/settings used. ● Provide a clear statement of the measured outcomes for the experiment. In other words, what parameters will be used to answer the questions outlined in the introduction? ● Explain the statistical analyses conducted.Results: ● Include separate sections with subheadings that correspond to the measured outcomes for
