c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 A Learning Module Involving Point-of-Care Testing and Team- Based Design Implemented in an Upper Level Biomedical Engineering Elective CourseAbstractA learning module was developed and implemented in an upper level biomedical engineeringcourse to provide students experience with practical aspects of point-of-care testing (POCT)through a team-based design project. The module, which included lectures and project work,involved the development of a container that could protect a POCT device from extremetemperatures when used outside of a hospital setting (e.g., by medical responders during disasterrelief). In order to assess the impact of the new

active and cooperativelearning could better motivate the students and help to transform them from passive recipients ofother people's knowledge into active constructors of their own and others' knowledge. Twoeffective methods of student-centered teaching include active/collaborative learning andinductive teaching and learning (ITL). Based on my experience of supervising 16 undergraduateson a collaborative biomedical research project over the past four years, a research-based learning(RBL) model has been developed that makes important addition to current ITL methods.The proposed RBL model shares some of the common features of ITL in that it is a student-centered and process-centered inductive approach. It also has the following features

in a Bioinstrumentation Laboratory CourseAbstractMany lecture courses use muddy points as an instructional assessment technique that allows theinstructor to gather information about the topics that are not clear to the students at the end ofeach class. Using this information, the amount of lecture time allocated to a specific topic can beincreased or decreased to match students’ feedback and emphasize the areas where the studentsneed more support.A modified version of this technique was recently implemented in a junior level, project-basedbioinstrumentation course that focuses around the design, construction and testing of biomedicaltechnology. At the end of each class, students take an on-line survey where they are asked toidentify the

He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of undergraduate students in engineering. He was a coauthor for best paper award in the Journal of Engineering Education in 2013

engagement, experience, and retention within our newprogram.Our program has an introductory course (BIOE 2001) that is used to acquaint students to thebroad and varied field of bioengineering. Initially this course designed as a typical ‘survey’presentation style, where guest lecturers from a variety of backgrounds in BioE would presenttheir research to the class via a lecture-style format. The students were given examinations on thepresented material and did group final projects (written and oral portions) on a bioengineeringtopic of their choice.However, student feedback indicated that many of the lectures were too “high level,” requiringmore foundational knowledge than the students had in order to understand the presentedmaterial. The students

benefit to thestudents’ retention.4 We strongly encouraged participation since, as the name suggests, activelearning elements (worksheets, presentations, discussions, debates) are most effective whenstudents actively take part in them. As instructors, we consistently encouraged our students bothverbally and through emails to participate in class and allotted 10 percent of the final coursegrade to participation. We encouraged students who are introverted to find another way to showus that they were interacting with the material and making an effort. We designed one project toprovide some breadth, but the main focus of the course was to have students truly understand themost important concepts. In other words, rather than being able to remember

Through this course, students will (1) gain an understanding of the current themes incancer research, (2) be introduced to faculty members who mentor undergraduate researchers, Page 26.1774.3and (3) develop skills in reading and discussing scientific articles. In their second semester,students will begin a research project with a faculty mentor and continue expanding on thisproject through their time in the program or until completion (similar to typical undergraduateresearch

The senior capstone report oftenplays an instrumental role in this development, since it comprises both the final assessment ofstudent communication performance and also students’ most significant opportunity for activelearning of in-discipline communication skills. Peer review has been proposed as an ideal meansto provide students with much-needed feedback toward this communication learning. Peerreview also has the potential to increase students’ interpersonal communication skills andmetacognition, provided that the review activity is structured to encourage constructivecontributions and reflection[1].

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.

Theperformance indicators of each rubric were built in view of the performance indicators of eachengineering course in the program. Each outcome specific rubric was agreed upon the facultyand calibrated on a “senior level” of intellectual maturity since ABET’s evaluation is based onattributes achieved by students upon graduation. The assignments were designed specifically tosatisfy each dimension of the rubric and consisted in questions or problems presented to thestudents in midterms and final exams/projects.
