essential for graduate students, especially for those who plan on pursuing a faculty career. Thevarious aspects of the graduate student role defined in this study is useful information forgraduate students to know about prior to providing one-on-one mentoring to undergraduatestudents. Third, mentoring program for graduate students have been developed, however, theywould benefit from integrating these findings into their curriculum. Therefore, academicinstitutions that are expanding or developing undergraduate research experiences should alsoconsider implementing programs to prepare graduate students to take on the role andresponsibilities that come along with providing one-on-one mentoring to undergraduate studentsin research.Bibliography1 Hu

While the students are enrolled in the programme,they continue to take the core modules and technical electives in their home departments(bioengineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering). The students enter theDCP-EIM programme at semester 3 (year 2) and work on the project for the next 3 years.Through an interview session, the students are selected based

bioengineering laboratory courseAbstractSuccessful engineers are competent in 21st century skills (problem-solving, critical thinking,technology literacy, creativity, independent learning, excellent communication, and collaborationskills), as well as technical and mathematical principles in order to develop societal solutions.Typically, undergraduate engineering programs utilize capstone design projects and problem setsto promote understanding and integration of engineering concepts. However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to

student suggested in the survey using a blended methodology with theintroduction of few lectures that can deal with topics, like patient safety, difficult to approach ina problem based only approach. The presentation of realistic problems creates an environmentthat allows the integration of many disparate concepts and gives students a deeper understandingof engineering principles. The authors verified firsthand many of the proposed key elements [2]that overcome the difficulties associated with cooperative learning. Strategies like: 1) allowingeach student to perceive themselves as a part of a team and to feel that his/her personal success islinked the success of the team; 2) to have clearly defined individual accountability; 3) to createan

engineering tools and the ability to integrate knowledge from differentdisciplines.1,2 Undergraduate capstone design experiences are largely developed to provide asetting for the attainment of these skills, and many have demonstrated positive outcomes in theseareas.3,4 However, it remains a challenge to provide students with opportunities to hone theseskills, particularly those based in the highest levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy of synthesis andevaluation, elsewhere in the curriculum. The junior-level undergraduate biomedical engineeringlaboratory module described here attempts to do this by asking students to use three distinctengineering approaches toward a common problem in a multidisciplinary laboratory course.Multidisciplinary Laboratory Course

Theprogram is in its third year; none of the partner institutions have met this target allocation as yet.This may be attributed, at least in part, to the delayed completion of the MOU, personnelchanges affecting incoming student placement as well as recruitment of outgoing students,curriculum revisions affecting

OutlineInstruction has four components: 1) a review of past transport principles (momentum, heat, andmass), 2) a demonstration of the power and effort necessary to solve problems numerically, 3)hands-on activities to learn how to use a commercial finite element package to solve biomedicaltransport problems, and 4) an overall understanding regarding the practical considerations in areal medical device company. These four distinct areas are not siloed, instead continually woventogether.There were four course learning goals. Students were told that by the end of this course theyshould be able to: 1. Understand and apply the steps required to attack a biomedical problem: formulation, software implementation, and accuracy checking. 2. Read the

Close coordination with the company or faculty advisor ensures that theproject meets the curriculum requirements of the program and that the scope of the project isrealistic. An assessment tool is completed by each panel member, which is also used to provideinput for the students’ grades. In the second semester students complete the project and give awritten report and oral presentation to a panel made up of members of the department’s IndustryAdvisory Board. Students attend weekly lectures by experts on various topics critical to thesuccess of practicing engineers, including regulatory, intellectual property, marketing,prototyping
