American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Applying the framework of Fink’s taxonomy to the design of a holistic culminating assessment of student learning in biomedical engineeringAbstractA cohort of junior biomedical engineering students concurrently enrolled in Biomechanics,Biomaterials, and an associated lab class (BME Labs) were assigned a comprehensive, fullyimmersive final project in lieu of final exams. In a typical quarter, Biomechanics andBiomaterials culminate in a traditional 2-4 hour final exam, while BME Labs terminates in acondensed 2-week design mini-project. This integrated final project was motivated by studentfeedback regarding their

In course evaluations, students consistently rate these projects as the most challengingand difficult to grasp, citing the inefficacy of the traditional (lecture-only) course in mergingprogramming with biomechanics content. Moving material online is an intuitive solution to thiscomputation-based instructional challenge. Literature has shown that blended classes (30-80%online) can improve academic performance compared to in-person or online classes alone. Whilevery few studies have analyzed blended learning in biomedical engineering contexts, research

The feasibility report included assessment of growth of the bioscienceindustry, cohesion with existing programs at the institution, potential students, and current trendsand future needs. Based on the outcomes of the report, a new undergraduate biomedicalengineering (BME) program was established with an innovative and unique curriculum. Theinnovative nature of the new program is demonstrated through the utilization of liberal artspedagogical practices and interventions, 4 credit hours courses, the background and training of theprograms 3 faculty members, a project-based curriculum, and the program emphases on analytics

In this intervention, studentsare challenged to consider bias in engineering design and its impacts on others through a semester-long project composed of a series of individual and team exercises. This intervention is designedto raise students’ awareness of bias in biomedical engineering designs and processes and theimpacts they have on them and on others.Demand for inclusive design and responsible innovationEngineers’ works significantly affect the world, so they should be aware of assumptions they makewhen they create a new product.

The topics covered during this symposium will begin with generalprinciples that are applicable to all IRES participants and conclude with individualized codingsessions that are specific to each student’s project (Table 2). The first day will focus onwelcoming the students, discussing career paths in bioinformatics and include a special sessionfrom the on-campus international center. Since a main goal of this program is to encouragematriculation onto graduate school, a large portion of the first day will

We discover why scientists and engineers must practiceinclusive design and think broadly about the impact of their work on diverse populations,including ethical implications, potential inequities in access, and bias againstunderrepresented people.By the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. Identify how cultural concepts of race, gender, sexuality, and disability have shaped scientific thought and engineering practice (and vice versa) through history. 2. Conduct self-directed

These results differ from Li et al., who stated that having close entrepreneurial relatives waspositively aligned with increases in entrepreneurial mindset. However, their definition of entrepreneurialmindset encompassed all of our EEI. There seems to be a movement of student interest from ‘inventor’ to‘developer’ in general as students work through innovative, open-ended projects, such as senior capstoneor our introductory bioengineering final project. Students who identified as having previousentrepreneurial experience demonstrated a greater affinity for ‘founder’ and ‘developer’ than studentswho did not claim this experience. The previous

The UC Davis BME introductory machiningand manufacturing course has traditionally employed a hands-on approach to teach students thenecessary skills needed to apply to the prototyping of their senior design projects. However, dueto prohibitions on in-person instruction, the BME machining course underwent significantredesign to enable an entirely

When done well, these notebooks are an inherentlyreflective practice on one’s own learning, understanding, and decision-making process [6]. Wehypothesize that reflection, especially if done while learning (e.g., lab notebooks) in addition toreflection after receiving SBG feedback, will improve student mastery in “problemidentification” and “interpretation”.This work-in-progress aims to determine if there are differences in mastery (quantified bystandards-based grading of lab reports) across different reflection implementations (post-assignment reflections, post-assignment reflections + reflection while doing with laboratorynotebook).

Even with this increase in diversity, 50% of the students in the REU programhad a moderate amount (six months to two years) of previous research experience. Approximatelyhalf of the students in each cohort reported having previous ethics training.Research DesignA major part of the project was developing an ethical survey tool specific to biomedicalengineering.
