Technology had on theparticipants’ career paths. Over the nine years, there have been 131 undergraduate students whoparticipated. Ninety nine (76%) of these students were supported via funding from the NationalScience Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. The other 32 (24%)were supported through institutional funds. More than half of the students (56.5%) were female,26.7% of the students were from underrepresented groups, and 52.7% students without previousresearch experience. The undergraduate research program understudy is a 10-week engineeringresearch project working in research laboratories at the University or a collaborating MedicalSchool. A tiered mentoring structure was developed within the participating laboratories

understanding student learning, and make students responsible for own learning. Therewas a statistically significant improvement in students understanding their own learning frommid-semester to end-of-semester (p=0.028, nmid = 129 and nend = 162, error bars = standarddeviation).In terms of utility value, students viewed favorably the inquiry-guided laboratory’s ability to beof value after graduation (“Value”), be useful in their career or future career goals (“Career”),and help them see the relevance of the material to the real world (“RealWorld”) as shown inFigure 4 below. Further, there was a small but statistically significant increase in agreement thatthe inquiry-guided format allowed students to see the relevance of the material to the real world

six areas that should be taken intoconsideration when developing course goals: foundational knowledge, application, integration,human dimension, caring, and learning how to learn.6A consideration for our department was that we have several “pathways” or plans of study withinbioengineering, such as biomaterials, biomechanics, tissue engineering, etc. This introductoryBioE course needed to support the educational desires of all bioengineering students as well ashelp those students that were “undecided” or unsure as to which pathway best fit their longer-term career goals.With the redesign, the new goals for BIOE 2001 are: “At the end of the course, students will… I.

The goals of our program are to prepare students for careers in regenerativemedicine in both academia and industry by providing them with broad technical, critical thinking,and problem solving skills. This paper will discuss the evolution of the program and assessmentof the program and our students.The Regenerative Medicine Program is a two-year program that consists of three components -one year of coursework, a nine-month internship, and a three-month Master’s project.Coursework includes intensive lab work and focuses on principles of stem cell biology, cellculture, scaffold development, cell sodding

Appendix). Prior to their use, the surveyswere approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Western New England University.The primary goal of the surveys was to measure student interest and attitudes toward the POCTfield. The surveys consisted of 5-choice Likert questions that were designed to obtain studentfeedback on their current knowledge of POCT, confidence in their ability to develop POCTdevices, level of interest in pursuing further studies/training/careers in the area of POCT, and thesuitability of POCT devices for solving problems in medicine and biology. Students alsocompleted a Likert-scale skills inventory that prompted them to rate their current level ofknowledge and confidence in their ability to develop and/or utilize the

This paper describeshow I leveraged my own background and student interest to initiate the collaborative researchproject, how undergraduates participated in the research project through different avenues, andhow the experience enhanced their skills in critical analysis, problem-solving, communicationand teamwork, which positively impacts their career, regardless of whether they pursue anindustry job or an academic position after graduation.Some practices I have been promoting in undergraduate

two key skills that engineering students should develop to achievesuccess. Most commonly, students are exposed to training for these skills separately in the earlyyears of their collegiate coursework followed by their combination in the latter years of study,particularly in upper-level design courses. In fall of 2014, we introduced “Design forDisabilities: Engineering Design Principles for Minimizing Patient Limitations,” a new first-yearwriting intensive seminar (FWIS), in an attempt to expose students to engineering designprinciples and technical communication in the context of an experiential-learning project early intheir college careers. By doing this, we hoped to provide a strong foundation for the developmentof core competencies in our

At the same time, thereis a waning interest among students in STEM fields; significant research has been conductedlooking at ways to increase interest. Traditional education methods used in the past leave roomfor improvement when it comes to encouraging students to pursue science careers2. Educatorsare seeing students with considerably different characteristics than previous generations3.Today’s students are digitally literate, connected, immediate, experiential, social, prefer teams,achievement oriented, value engagement, value experience, visual and kinesthetic, and impactdriven. All of this suggests that a change is
