American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Development of a training program for undergraduate students participating in an immersive bioinformatics summer research internship The publication of the first human genome in 2001 transformed biomedical research[1,2]. Since then, an explosion of new sequencing technologies has required engineers andcomputer scientists to invent computational methods to analyze and interpret the ever-growingdata. Now, large-scale biological data encompasses many types of ‘omics’ datasets, includinggenomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes, and each of these new datasets hascreated a new set of analytical

Strategies for Quality and Productivity; Stochastic Systems Engineering; and CapstoneDesign. Leadership Strategies for Quality and Productivity course is an elective for IndustrialEngineering Technology majors and has a pre-requisite of IET316 (Statistical Quality Control).Stochastic Systems Engineering is a required course for Industrial Engineering majors, whichmainly covers probability and statistics. The Capstone Design course is for Electronic Engineeringand Computer Science students, which is essentially similar across engineering majors includingindustrial engineering.2.

mechanical and electrical engineering graduates become practicing engineers, many areengaged in industrial automation projects. Knowledge of industrial motion control technology isan absolute must since industrial automation is designed primarily around specialized motioncontrol hardware and software. Industry needs engineers who can do system design andintegration using motion controllers and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) as the primarybuilding blocks for automation/mechatronics applications. They are not expected to designcontrollers, control algorithms or interface electronic circuits at the board level or programmicroprocessors such as Arduino 4,5 . Instead, they need to combine theoretical and practicalknowledge to select industrial

These solutions can have adramatic impact on the ability of people with disabilities to complete coursework and engage incourse-based ADL independently. Incorporation of guest lecturers including therapists,rehabilitation engineers, and people using assistive technology (known as “need-knowers”during the course) in conjunction with design thinking and rapid prototype fabrication led toremoval of two barriers to success identified by students with disabilities. The purpose of thispaper is to discuss results from two semesters of a new elective engineering

currently a popular approach for learning in many Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM)-related fields. Its approach is distinct from traditional classroom learning, whereinstudents find themselves as passive recipients of information. Instead, PBL requires students toaddress a problem using information and knowledge they may or may not possess. The beliefbehind project-based learning is that students benefit more from the application of theirknowledge in a group setting than from a traditional classroom model, wherein a teacher presentsstudents with concepts and information and checks to ensure students understand [2]. A studywas done at a university in Malaysia to gage the “soft skills” of engineering undergraduates. Thestudy used
