Paper ID #43302Board 11: Work in Progress: Development and Assessment of an Innovative,Student-Centered Biomechanics CourseDr. Pattie S. Mathieu, Marian University Dr. Pattie Mathieu joined Marian University in August 2023 as an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Her research interests include cardiovascular mechanobiology and metabolism. Her Ph.D. work at Trinity College Dublin focused on how collagen structure and tensile strain affect vascular stem cell and vascular smooth muscle cell phenotype and proliferation. In her postdoctoral work at the University of Maryland she investigated how glutamine metabolism
novel imaging techniques to quantifying adaptation of muscle architecture in humans. She also desires to implement innovative teaching, mentoring, and hands-on problem solving to develop students’ deep understanding of engineering principles and to inspire them to tackle real-world problems which can aid human health.Dr. Naji S Husseini, North Carolina State University Naji Husseini is an associate teaching professor and associate director of undergraduate studies in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University.Dr. Lianne Cartee, North Carolina State University Lianne Cartee is Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Joint

The long-term goal of the study is to collectand analyze cross-institutional data to investigate and compare AI usage by BME students fromdifferent institutions, and we are currently working towards a multi-institution IRB to do so.4.

the skill of the students. Future work includes examining studentreceptiveness and comfort with this method as well as looking at how instructor experience withVF can decrease the time required to provide it. We would also like to see if there is a correlationbetween the number of times a student views their feedback and their skill acquisition. We feelthat this may give insight into how to scale VF in large classes.References[1] J. Hattie and H. Timperley, “The Power of Feedback,” Rev. Educ.

It is important to analyzeour results not only in isolation but also within the current landscape of literature. The ClinicalImmersion program developed by S. Stirling and M. Kotche [7] at the University of Illinois atChicago saw similar results and value in clinical observations. Similar to this study, B.Przestrzelski and J.
