During the students’ senior years, they are required to take SeniorDesign 1 during the fall semester and Senior Design 2 during the spring semester. As aprerequisite to Senior Design, the Clinical Observations and Needs Finding course is intended tointroduce students to the design process. Projects that are initially developed in ClinicalObservations are intended to be carried to Senior Design, where prototype creation occurs. Thiscourse fits logically into the undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum, but the

The approach improves student performance,enhancing learning outcomes in Computer Architecture and Engineering curriculum.1 IntroductionIn engineering education, there is a significant thrust towards crafting students into capableprofessionals. Pursuing this goal has involved delving into and embracing various pedagogicalapproaches, including differentiated learning [1–6], project-based [7–10], inquiry-based[11–14, 24], and collaborative [15–19]. Each approach imparts a distinctive flavor to theeducational experience, thereby enriching the academic journey for those studyingengineering.Differentiated Learning

In this work, a completely refurbished dynamic systems laboratorycourse is implemented into an undergraduate mechanical engineering program for the purpose ofproducing excellence in student learning and engagement. The new laboratory assignmentsinvolve physical experimentation, which is a modification to the previous course that includedonly simulation projects. Custom-made exercises include physical measurement and analysis ofsound pressure signals, and reverse engineering of products using the Raspberry Pi computeplatform. Coding of Raspberry Pi boards is accomplished using MATLAB Online and SimulinkOnline.

This frameworkhelps to clarify how “sociotechnical integration” is in fact a high bar for engineering designpractice (or, for that matter, any formalized inquiry practice). The following section provides anoverview and justification of our Design Engineering program’s curricular structure, built as it isaround a “design spine”—that is, open-ended project-based design every semester—alongsidemore traditional engineering curricular requirements. After reviewing our curriculum, we turnattention to the design of our program’s ABET assessment infrastructure and how we have usedABET requirements to ensure we hold ourselves accountable to a high-bar of sociotechnicalintegration across our design spine.

Often these challenges with team communication fall along gendered lines, where women students experience marginalization in team settings.
