Dr. Diller is an internationally recognized authority in heat and temperature related processes in living tissues and how they may be applied in the design of therapeutic devices. His first studies in the 1960’s were related to the frozen banking of cells and tissues for transplantation. He has also pursued advanced analysis of burn injury occurrence and treatment and the application of thermal therapy for cancer. Currently he is focused on the use of temperature manipulation to enhance the healing of injured soft tissues, the development of a new generation of safer and more effective

The two-minute podium formatwas used to efficiently highlight the original thesis proposal and theme chosen by each team,while the poster format enabled the communication of more details regarding the individualoutreach activities proposed. Each team also worked collectively to create a two-page writtendocument that summarized their presentation and poster. To judge the effectiveness of thisknowledge translation activity, qualitative feedback was gathered from standard courseevaluations and extra voluntary questionnaires that asked students what they thought strengths ofthe course were and what area(s) they felt could be improved.

To further guide students through the design process, team-basedactivities related to workshop topic(s), readings, and case studies were assigned for individualteam discussions.Program Deliverables and Surveys: By the conclusion of the CIP, teams were expected to generate a single, succinct problemstatement based on their primary research in a clinical environment. Moreover, new to thisprogram year, students were taught the basics of concept exploration and were expected to applythis knowledge to their identified problem. Three deliverables were generated by the programparticipants: individual blog entries, a written team report, and team presentation.

The rise in student outreach clubs, study abroad, service learning andcommunity based learning all demonstrate that students are more attune to social justiceissues. In fact, biomedical engineering programs have been early adopters of includingvalue thinking, most especially through Devices for the Disabled (Enderle, 1999),Engineering World Health (www.ewh.org), e-NABLE (enablingthefuture.org), and theproliferation of programs that specifically consider design for the developing world.Strategic Thinking and Design ChallengesStrategic Thinking was born out of the business literature.

Cohen’s d (effect size) was calculated ([3]: (µ1-µ2)/s), and average post-quiz scoreswere compared by paired t-test or repeated-measures ANOVA. Students’ self-recorded videoswere coded for the quality of their interactions as described by [1]. Two factors were varied: (1) the scaffolding (instructions) given to the students and (2)whether students watched a dialogue video or monologue video. Statistical analyses of thenumber of interactive episodes for each group are performed (by coding interactions observed inthe students’ self-recorded videos) to test the hypothesis that students watching dialogue videoshave more interactive episodes and higher learning gains than

-Term andSpring performance in terms of quantitative performance toward meeting each of the courseobjectives. In 2016, however, only 57% of students in the spring course met all three objectives(and 5 students met only one or none of the objectives), whereas 83% of students in the J-Termcourse met all three objectives. While this result falls just short of statistical significance for athreshold of α = 0.05 (Barnard’s test p = 0.083), it suggests a pedagogical deficiency in someaspect(s) of the Spring 2016 course (see Discussion).Analysis of Student Course Evaluations and CommentsAt the end of each term, students completed anonymous course evaluations answering multiplequestions relating to the course and to the instructor.
