These, in turn, relyon students having achieved a set of learning objectives related to electronic circuit theory, oper-ational amplifiers, and electronic components.BIOMENG 241 is organized with two lectures per week of one hour each, plus one two-hourlaboratory session per week. Lectures cover the design process, passive electronics, operationalamplifiers, filters, digital sampling, component selection, ethics, and safety. Laboratories coverbrainstorming, electronics instrumentation, soldering, operational amplifier circuits, aliasing, andquantization. Project work is

muscle forces needed to match the model markertrajectories of the upper and lower arm to those measured experimentally. The students wereasked to produce a lab report in the form of a journal article. In the discussion they were asked toaddress specific questions of anatomy and physiology of the movement under study which couldbe directly assessed using a rubric.A separate experiment on a different student cohort tested if the same knowledge could beacquired using haptic feedback. Students completed a pre-laboratory assignment in which theywrote a custom Matlab (MathWorksInc.,Natick,MA) code for post-processing of the data.Second, a robotic manipulator was utilized to measure sensorimotor function during a guidedreaching task.

sent to all 50 BME studentsin Senior Design. All 11 students on the clinical projects completed the pre-survey, but only 20%(10 of the 50, 3 from clinical projects) completed the post-survey. The results from the pre-survey illustrate the student’s interest in working in a clinical setting and on projects that aredirectly applicable to the biomedical field. Several of the students were also drawn to the projectsdue to direct application of their academic strengths and laboratory skills. The results from thepost-survey are harder to interpret due to the low response rate. Overall, senior design (bothindustry and clinical projects) is a well-received course where the students learn valuable skills.However, there are areas that BME students feel

-on experiences and follow-up laboratory reports. Research indicates science conceptunderstanding improves with the use of unstructured context maps and that writing-to-learnpractices can greatly improve student learning and engagement; however, these practices are oftenlacking in STEM 2,3,4. To incorporate these research findings, we developed a fading paradigmscaffolding approach to maximize engineering students’ communications skills. Our goal is toelevate the writing capability of undergraduates to the level of graduate students by utilizing afading paradigm scaffolding approach, where writing templates become less structured over time.We hypothesize that this approach will increase the average writing ability of engineeringundergraduates

The course is designed to help students transition from a science-oriented highschool way of thinking to an engineering point of view. In particular, students that participate inthe BME section in this course are introduced to and charged with utilizing the engineeringdesign process to solve open-ended problems. Following this course, opportunities for exploringdesign can be found both within BME laboratory courses and in the parallel lecture courses. Theculmination of the laboratory sequence and the design experiences introduced throughout earliercourses is the required senior “capstone” design course, which includes a significant
