. Preliminary evaluation results are encouraging – students from a wide range ofacademic majors find MPCT engaging and report that the analytical tasks were effective at conveying insightand decreasing anxiety towards foundational mathematical concepts. This paper extends prior reports on MPCT with evaluation results indicating that more than half ofattendees indicated increased confidence in the understanding and application of quantitative analysis tasksand detected differences in that nature of students‟ engagement with math in MPCT and traditional mathcourses. In addition, this report includes an overview of an emerging effort to investigate the integration ofMPCT into secondary school curricula.Introduction MPCT is integrated into an Entering

Byhaving a fully integrated system, it is hoped that calculations will match reasonably well withmeasurements. To make this lab feasible the content regarding the Doppler will be moved toearlier in the semester and an additional Doppler board will be constructed. This board will befully integrated and will seek to improve the phase noise of the integrated VCO using additionalbias filtering as it is believed that phase noise associated with the VCO limited the performanceof the fall 2009 EE 433 Doppler system

This paper outlines an approach to evaluate if such anadvantage exists. Our goal is to determine if (and how) service learning provides an appropriatemethod to instill sustainable engineering educational outcomes in engineering students. Servicelearning has been shown to enrich students’ learning experiences and to be intrinsicallymotivational to engineering students. Consequently, we are evaluating the outcomes resultingfrom the explicit integration of sustainable engineering and service learning in engineeringeducation.

Experiential learning in these areas gives biomedical engineering graduates avaluable skill set coveted by medical device companies. This skill set will position biomedicalengineers apart from other engineering disciplines and will help more completely define thebiomedical engineer. The Biomedical Engineering Department at Western New England College has developed anapproach to the capstone senior design course which integrates QSR and design controls into thecurriculum. This integration uses an experiential method in which students follow the guidelinesfor design control and QSR, closely mimicking best practices
