In this course sequence, biomedical engineeringstudents are taught how to develop medical devices through progressively more complex projectsrelated to unmet needs in physical therapy.COURSE SEQUENCE STRUCTUREWhen developing these three courses the educational concept of scaffolding was implemented(Appendix 1) [4]. The idea was to provide the most guidance to students in the Course 1 courseand gradually transfer responsibility to the student as the student progresses through Course 2and Course 3. The goal of this research is to determine the effectiveness of project-basedlearning taught using scaffolding, particularly with projects related to physical

course also involved a final project (with defined projectrequirements) incorporating data acquisition with LabVIEW and the option to perform analysiswith MATLAB. Junior Design II (2 credit hours) then aimed to give students more freedom andresponsibility in the design process. The hardware was provided to the student teams (NordicThingy52 [1]) but students had to define the project requirements and the testing/validationprocesses. See [2] for an overview of the BME curriculum.Although the above approach involved hands-on learning, one weakness was that studentsstruggled to see the benefit of learning these skillsets. They often lacked motivation and thenstruggled greatly close to the end of the semester, a common issue when students are
