design solutions twice to emphasizethe importance of iteration.We found that an immersive design-build-iterate experience in the 2nd year is associated withnarrowly focused improvements in 4th year capstone design outcomes. Specifically, the builtquality of the final prototype was improved in projects that focused on mechanical design, butthese improvements did not extend to other types of projects or to other late steps in theengineering design process. We discuss our findings in terms of the spacing effect, and othermeans by which engineering design behavior might be reinforced.Control yearThe control year of this design course was based around (a) a semester-long project thatculminated in an alpha prototype, and (b) a series of 1 to 3-week

sequence. Given a one-credit allotment of instructor time towardthis capstone, peer review seemed a promising way to enrich students’ writing education in theircapstone project report. But moreover, we believed that senior-level students who have hadrepeated exposure to journal and conference articles have already acquired a degree of practicalexpertise in our disciplinary discourse; near the conclusion of their college education, we didn’tbelieve it appropriate or warranted to teach them writing skills from scratch. Rather, we felt thata better pedagogical approach was to help students discover and marshal their own expertise andthat of their peers. In this way we might scaffold students’ metacognitive use of their ownexperiences as readers, as

This process is enriched with training in clinical observation androot-cause analysis. For projects developed around a clinical need, active training in observationfor large groups (>50 students) is challenging—many clinical procedures limit observationgroups to three students or fewer

’s, and use a case study from aspecific biomedical engineering capstone sequence to illustrate how the availability of rapidprototyping has impacted capstone projects and biomedical engineering education at theundergraduate level.The Early History of Rapid PrototypingRapid prototyping (RP) is the process by which a computer-aided design (CAD) file is used tocontrol an automated technology in order to produce a physical model.1 Its origin is often cited tobe with the release of the first technology by 3D Systems in 1987 and it was primarily used tocreate a first generation prototype to quickly verify a design.1 The first commercializedtechnologies in the 1990’s were based upon addition or removal of liquids, powders or solids(Table 1).

: Into a third yearABSTRACTA need exists to train undergraduate engineering students to indentify and solve healthcareproblems of today and the future. A team of faculty has been contributing to that need byeducating students in a summer Clinical Immersion and Team Based Design program at a mid-Atlantic University. The summer program involves the Biodesign Process, physiology basics,clinical immersion, intellectual property basics, regulatory basics, business perspectives, anddevelopment of best practices. The program participants’ (or Scholars’) deliverables includedneed statements, specifications, and guidelines to pursue as capstone design projects. A briefoverview of the program content and structure is presented in this paper. Assessment of

curriculumand shorten the amount of time given to each topic. When teaching the principles ofprogramming to non-computer science students, it is important to focus on broad, widelyapplicable concepts (i.e., computational thinking), rather than become mired in the applicationand syntax of one specific language.7Active learning shows demonstrable and widespread improvements in student achievement overpassive learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, allowingbetter retention of new concepts, more efficiently.8,9 In BME, active learning can consist ofproblem/project-based learning,10 which requires students to undergo the engineering designprocess on their own. These projects can be multidisciplinary, which improves

In Phase 3, thejuniors start on a more complex project that typically spans into senior year and Phase 4:capstone design [1-4].Over the last five offerings of BME 201, this course has evolved to cohesively combine threecomponents (lecture, lab and a design project) into modules throughout the course that representthe field of BME, both from a curricular and industry standpoint. To effectively teach thestudents in the course and maintain current course content, we utilize a three tiered instructionalapproach: instructors, three teaching assistants, and up to 20 undergraduate student assistants, allbringing their educational and industry experiences to the course.

Over the years, universities have adopted the capstone Senior Design project inorder to provide students the opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test in real-worldprojects. However, educators agree that obtaining competency in engineering design requireshours of hands-on practice beyond the time and scope of a university course. As a result, we arepilot testing a series of supplementary active-learning

The two faculty who teach this course(Frow, Smith) have co-developed the content over the past two years; we also meet biweeklyduring the academic year with faculty members teaching the other BME ‘design spine’ courses, tocoordinate program content and learning outcomes across courses.Our semester-long course focuses on global healthcare markets and device design for low-resourcesettings. The course revolves around an open-ended, team-based design project (Smith et al. 2005).A core aim is to foster curiosity and creativity1 in students’ first formal experience of engineeringdesign
