Our programming model includes cohort-style engineeringcoursework, bi-weekly course reviews, and a collaborative service-learning project in whichsecond-year students are project managers and first-year students are team members.The Engineering Leadership Community started as a retention strategy in 2009. Students who donot integrate socially and academically into their institution of higher learning are more likely todepart from college before earning a degree (1). In fact, student engagement can actuallycompensate for academic under preparedness, giving students the opportunity

Also, recent advances in technology andin ideology have unlocked entirely new directions for education research. At the center ofthis discussion is the flipped classroom. This paper presents an ongoing study on how tointegrate MOOC courses with an on campus course, adopting both the flipped classroomand self-directed learning paradigms. The authors created and recorded four courses, 2DCAD, 2D CAD project, 3D CAD and 3D CAD project, on Coursera, a popular MOOCplatform.

At ColumbiaUniversity, we have an established program for teaching biomedical design to undergraduateswhich culminates in our capstone ‘Senior Design’ course. However, no specified designexperience exists for terminal degree BME Master’s students. Design courses are traditionallytaught utilizing a textbook, lectures, and a team design project, with often limited time forinteractions between and among teams and instructors in the classroom.

. While some materials, such as aluminum, can be easily bent after cuttingwithout risking fracture, others, such as wood or plastic, cannot. This maker project will outline atechnique which allows almost any material to be bent into a curve after laser cutting, essentiallyby cutting slots into the material to make it more flexible.2. TheoryUncut sheets of rigid material, such as wood or acrylic, don’t bend easily. If a maker desires acurved product, then a design must have multiple parts or a single part that is able to bend intothe desired shape. The part must be able to bend without breaking, either through inherentflexibility or via some other process (such as heating.) Permanent deformation must be avoidedthough, if the part is to be returned
