We selected the bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived MSCs for several instructional and practical reasons: i) they are the best characterized ofall adult MSCs, ii) they manifest different potency for chondrogenesis 30, 31, iii) they differ intheir availability, abundance, and morbidity associated with their isolation methods 32, 33, and iv)are available commercially. This comparative analysis will provoke the students to furtherexplore why MSCs from different sources have distinct requirements

Several institutionshave identified Capstone Design as an ideal place for teaching professional skills, which aretypically not emphasized earlier in the curriculum [30]. Howe’s Capstone Design survey of 232engineering institutions showed that the five most common topics taught were: writtencommunication, oral communication, engineering ethics, project planning and scheduling, anddecision making. Only 48% of the survey

ABET introduced the revised outcomes for EngineeringCriteria 20001 to drive changes in engineering education practice—such as promoting more sub-stantial education in communication and ethics—but many programs’ and institutions’ ap-proaches to the ABET requirements have now become codified, and administrators now exam-ine proposed changes to curriculum or pedagogy, asking whether they pose any risk to continu-ing accreditation. Programs that have been successfully placing graduates into desirable jobsmay be similarly constrained by their own success. Such factors can reinforce an institutional

For those students,the bridge program successfully advanced their math education by at least a semester.From Figure 3, the results for the bridge program students in College Algebra are muchmore varied. First, it is clear that bridge program students who did not improve theiroriginal math placement tend to not get a grade of C or better in their first attempt inCollege Algebra, as over the four years only 1 of 7 students accomplished that. As such,there may be a problem with the work ethic of students who did not improve their mathplacement, or these students have fundamentally reached their mathematical abilities andcannot complete the work in Math 116 successfully.

potential long term impact.ConclusionThe STEM SLC students significantly performed better in the MATLAB class as the passing rateis 73% vs. 44% in the non-SLC. The fact that the students in the SLC met daily together in theirclasses created not only a bond of friendship, but of work ethic as well. They motivated eachother on a daily basis in addition to the faculty reminding them of their work daily. Thisimpacted their attendance, their participation, and the completion rate of the overall work.The association of all topics across all three classes made the classes more connected. Studentsdid not feel they had three segregated classes, but possibly saw it as one class only. The mini-projects, although specific to each faculty, connected the topics

These non-technicalconstraints typically involve economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byand large, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the scientific method.”Undoubtedly, the start of any design course should be preceded by exposure to design thinkingand related processes.
