within an Undergraduate Dynamics CourseAbstract This project introduces a method of teaching undergraduate students MATLABprogramming within a typical engineering lecture course, dynamics. This particular course waschosen because its content offers natural connections between engineering and programmingconcepts. The MATLAB programming instruction and assignments were approached throughthe context of the dynamics course material. This allowed students to make connections betweentheir typical dynamics course content and the more abstract programming concepts which cansometimes be difficult for them to understand. This idea was indicated to be effective throughanonymous student comments from student evaluations.Introduction Although

Most recently she has implemented a STEM faculty Academy at FGCU that asks faculty to incorporate evidence-based practices into intro- ductory STEM courses and measure student learning through a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project. She has spoken at numerous conferences and workshops on these topics. In addition, she is author of a series of guided-inquiry activities and a chemistry textbook for the health professions (Pearson Education). Her textbook takes a unique, integrated approach to the delivery of chemical topics that has been shown to increase student interest in the course.

Students’ projects fall into two categories:(1) a service learning type project which must in some way improve the quality of life of othersand involves a minimum of 15 hours of actual service; and (2) a guided, extensive visit of ananimal rescue society farm in which students confront animals typically used in biomedicalresearch projects and reflect on the entire experience.IntroductionBiomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to medicine.It combines expertise in engineering with expertise in medicine and human biology to

A casestudy of three high school engineering courses provided evidence that EN’s were useful forplanning and recording daily activities10.

One objective forhands-on design experiences is building team-based problem solving skills, in which studentsgain experience balancing their own contributions with that of their team members2. Numerouscourses have incorporated teamwork as an outcome for students, in which project and/or timemanagement serve as two related keywords4. Inherent in teamwork experiences must also besome level of organization, in which a process or method may be utilized to accomplish the task.Our biomedical engineering department at the University of California Davis has strong interestin
