Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Work in Progress: Supplementing theoretical modeling with empirical data for improved designIntroductionOur first semester course in biomedical engineering includes a semester-long project thatintroduces students to the design process and allows them to practice working in teams. Thestudents work for a fictional company with a hypothetical hospital as a customer to design, build,and test a portable air filtration system. While the experience for the students has overall beenpositive, they struggle in a specific section of the course and fail to make a connection betweencourse content and application to the project. We are looking to address this short-coming withan

Engineering education plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of engineersand scientists (Agrawal & Harrington-Hurd, 2016; Brothy et al., 2008). Given its importance,research studies have sought practical ways to improve engineering education practices acrossmultiple dimensions (Crawley et al., 2007; Litzinger et al., 2011; Pizarro, 2018). Among theseefforts, there has been a long-lasting and ongoing focus on project- and team-based learning inSTEM and engineering education research (Felder & Brent, 2016; Kolar & Sabatini, 1996;Wankat & Oreovicz, 2014). Researchers found that project- and team-based learning practiceslead to favorable learning outcomes and behaviors, as well as effective cognitive and non-cognitive

Lab modules with open-ended design learning experience through using a lab-in-a-boxapproach were developed to allow students to solve lab problems with multiple approaches thatallow problem solving independently and collaboratively. Because this innovative lab designallows problem solving at various cognitive levels, it is better suited for concept exploration andcollaborative lab learning environments as opposed to the traditional lab works with a“cookbook” approach that tend to lead students to follow certain procedures for expectedsolutions with the absence of problem exploration stage.
