Despite being a relatively newcourse, we have seen overwhelming success related to student outcome performance in design bystudents since the implementation of this course verses its client-based counterpart. In addition,self-reported survey data from students upon completion of BME 201 felt this course waseffective at improving their skills and their abilities to meet student outcomes. Finally, studentsalso felt that this course was effective at influencing their academic and future career goals.I

Our goal is toprepare professional engineers for careers in biomedical engineering by supplementing theirundergraduate education with the necessary molecular, cellular, and systems physiology, as wellas analytical problem solving to tackle today’s health care challenges. Since many of ourstudents are interested in changing their occupation, it is critical to provide them with the hands-on skills needed to

Alternatively, graduate students seeking careers in industry or asentrepreneurs have a keen interest in innovation and commercialization and hope to developskills in this area. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to address the opportunities and challenges ofcommercialization and entrepreneurship while also meeting the demands of academia. Ourobjective was to develop a course to meet the unique needs of both groups by providing studentswith real-world experience in technology commercialization while at the same timeproviding Faculty with structured support to bring

Correlations betweenquestion scores were made using Kendall’s Tau-b. Of the 12 questions on the questionnaire, 3were significantly different between the MEA and homework. Specifically, students found theMEA to be more frustrating, had more choice in how to complete the MEA, and felt the MEAbetter related to their career goals. When ranking items, competence, purpose, and extrinsicmotivation were ranked significantly higher compared to community and autonomy. Correlationsindicated that students enjoyed the project more when they learned the content (τ

As freshmen, for the most part they also bring limited technical knowledge and designexperience into the classroom.We thus face a challenge of trying to provide a clear, structured first design experience for students,but one that is also open-ended enough to allow for students to grapple with the challenge ofdesign, and to develop creative and critical thinking skills. Whether global healthcare developmentis too challenging a topic is a question we continue to debate. Simply learning about the resourcesand healthcare systems in other parts of the world has proven to be an eye-opening experience forseveral of our students, and one that leaves many of them inspired to consider a career

The guided design approach is sufficient for the students at this stage in theiracademic career as the introductory class is focused on allowing the students to gain experiencebuilding circuits on a breadboard and with using lab instruments. The next installations of#FunTimesWithTheTA will take a “less-guided” approach, giving students the opportunity todevelop their own design implementations to solve problems. Furthermore, we would like toexpand on our use of social media with #FunTimesWithTheTA. Social media has become aplatform of self-expression and collaboration where academics, hobbyists, and lay-people alikeshare their inventions openly online[2].

While progressing through the three projects, the students becamemore independent and self-guided in their work, which was appreciated by many of the studentsin the course. Based upon the course evaluations, instructor evaluations, and the studentreflections, this course has had an effective impact on the students as they venture into a widerange of health care related careers and/ or as health care consumers themselves.References1.
