future of modern medical treatment. Advances in tissueengineering, computational protein design, and high-throughput bioanalyticaltechniques across academia and industry motivate the need to develop curriculathat provides opportunities for students to interact and design early in theirundergraduate careers. To meet this need, we created two new junior-level courses:Molecular Engineering (BME305L) and Cellular Engineering (BME306L) thatwere offered in the Fall and Spring of 2022, respectively. We have emphasizedstudent-centered experimental and laboratory practice as the backbone of thesecourses to prepare students for authentic research experiences in any industry.Molecular Engineering integrates computational and experimental learningoutcomes
author: mselsaad@uark.eduIntroductionImmersive virtual reality (VR) based laboratory demonstrations have been gaining traction inSTEM education. VR may serve as a valuable tool not just for remote learning but also tobroaden outreach, reduce waste, enhance safety, generate increased interest, and modernizeeducation. VR holds great potential to complement existing education strategies [1, 2]. However,to ensure better utilization of VR-based education, it is pivotal to perform optimizations of VRimplementation, in-depth analyses of advantages and trade-offs of the technology, andassessment of receptivity of modern techniques in STEM education [1, 3, 4].There have been several studies that tested the effectiveness of VR in the educational field
laboratories [10]. In summerbased clinical immersion programs, students must apply and compete against their peers to beselected. This is a limiting factor especially for large and fast-growing programs. Summerimmersion programs are usually short in their duration (2 weeks up to 10 weeks) [1-9], therefore,provide limited exposure to clinical setting and personal. Offering semester-based clinicalimmersion programs poses another set of challenges. Universities must establish hospitalaffiliation agreements and recruit clinical participants to supervise students. The number ofclinical participants needed to supervise students increases as the number of students increases.Field trips and visits within a course also require maintaining a long-term clinical

Implementation: The foundation for this new design course was based on previousimplementations of electrospinning in senior design projects [13, 14], educational modules [15,16, 17], and research courses [18, 19, 20]. However, the novelty of this course was its goal ofcontrolling ambient conditions to improve manufacturing electrospun fibers. Specifically, studentsin teams of 4-5 were tasked to design an electrospinning system that could monitor temperature orhumidity and regulate the appropriate ambient parameter to stay within an ideal range.The course was designed to be a required 2-credit hour course that would be held once a weekduring a standard 3-hour laboratory period with ~20 students (5 teams). The course was led by oneprimary instructor and

projects,which they are conducting concurrently. While not definitive, these preliminary observationsindicate that Flash-labs seem to be effective. Further data analysis would confirm this.Conclusions and Future WorkThe next stage of this research involves analysis of the thematic coding elements compiled fromdata sets collected from end-of-semester course evaluations. While Flash-labs may not be acomplete replacement for a full laboratory class component, it does appear that they helpstudents relate to and internalize core fundamental concepts within the compressed time frameand are eager to collaborate with each other. Another extension of the analysis may involveconducting photovoice analysis, focusing on themes extracted from the student DSP

All three students wereworking in the same lab co-hosted and mentored by the two laboratory Principal Investigators, aswell as undergraduate and graduate students in the lab. In-depth interviews with the three internsand their parents/caregivers were conducted and analyzed to understand parental relationships,mentorship relationships, and components of the home environment in developing STEMidentity and interest.
