may haveimportant implications for student recruitment and retention.Introduction The establishment of undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) programs in the late1960s makes it a relatively new educational option compared to traditional disciplines such asmechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering [1]–[3]. Despite slow growth through the 1990s,there has been a significant increase in the number of undergraduate BME programs and degreesconferred in recent years [1], [2], [4], [5]. Over that time, increasing numbers of BMEdepartments and educators have had to make important decisions regarding how best to educatestudents in this ever-evolving, interdisciplinary field. In perhaps the earliest report on BMEeducation, Harmon

We anticipate that SBG will allow forfrequent, formative feedback throughout a single course as well as inform the instruction offaculty teaching subsequent courses building on these standards, including courses beyond thissequence such as Capstone. Our long-term goal will be to identify, align, and assess LO withinand across these courses in the curriculum using SBG. We will also review and assessimplementation of SBG in this context.This preliminary work focuses on implementation of SBG in the culminating course.

project.Education of Engineering StandardsSince the 2001-2002 accreditation cycle, undergraduate engineering curricula approved by theEngineering Accreditation Commission of ABET are required to incorporate engineeringstandards [1]. Current criteria require that curricula include “a culminating major engineeringdesign experience that…incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints”[2]. This requirement addresses demand from industry for engineering graduates to enter theworkforce with knowledge of technical standards, particularly as a generation of baby-boomerswith expertise in standardization retires. This demand encompasses a wide range of industries,including the medical field [3].Despite the ABET requirement and practical need

in teams is a critical skill recognized bothby employers [1] and by our accreditation board [2] (Criterion 3.5). Undergraduate biomedicalengineering (BME) majors at the University of Virginia work extensively in teams in multiplecore courses: not only in an introductory design course and in the senior capstone designsequence, but also in a yearlong junior-level integrative laboratory course sequence. The labsequence is noteworthy because of its intensive nature (4 hours/week in lab, plus 10-20hours/week outside of lab on analysis and writing of reports, as self-reported by students onevaluations). As our program grew rapidly very soon after it was established (from ~35 studentsin the first graduating class of the major 15 years ago to ~90

and in experiential learning for undergraduates in science and engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Specifications Grading in an Upper-Level BME Elective CourseRecent trends in BME education emphasize aspects of the engineering profession such as designprocess, entrepreneurial mindset, and active problem-solving. However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort

Acquisition, and Influence on Career PathIntroductionBiomedical engineering (BME) students aspiring to careers in healthcare and medical productdevelopment are better prepared when they possess a solid understanding of the clinical setting.However, industry-bound BME students have few opportunities to acquire an understanding ofhow clinical units operate or the challenges within that environment, nor meaningful interactionswith health care providers in the space. Without this realism, BME students are unable toaccurately define user needs in medical device development, something the FDA is increasinglyemphasizing to improve safety and efficacy [1]. On the other hand, BME students interested inmedicine rarely receive shadowing experiences at the

engineering majorsIntroductionUnderstanding and addressing the diversity gap in engineering is of critical importance to the current and rapidlygrowing U.S. workforce needs [1]–[3]. This is particularly true within Biomedical Engineering (BME), a fieldthat is amid a 10-year estimated 23% employment growth (2014-2024) [4]. Gender and ethnic diversity inparticular have been studied to develop interventions aimed to support, graduate, and retain a larger and morediverse population into the engineering workforce [1]. Despite these efforts, diversity in both the biomedical andthe general engineering workforce as a whole has remained low [2]. This paper aims to further the knowledge ofthe diversity gap by exploring the relationship between diversity and

StudentsIntroductionDuring the past two decades, active learning techniques have received a growing attention ineducational research. Particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, traditional lecturing has indicated a 55% increase in failure rates of undergraduate students,compared to active learning methods [1]. Furthermore, active learning has proven to significantlyenhance students’ examination performance and educational achievements compared to passivelearning [1, 2]. In Biomedical Engineering (BME), active learning can be incorporated throughvarious techniques such as problem- and project-based learning [3]. Such approaches lead studentsto a deeper and more efficient retention of new concepts. Moreover, these methods

Creativity, apseudo-cognitive construct, is likewise cited as a desirable trait among engineers. In previouswork we showed that a project-based design course rich in brainstorming activities resulted in asemester-long improvement in certain aspects of creativity compared to a course that wasrelatively poor in brainstorming activities [1]. Not all design courses, however, are equal in thedegree to which they are project-based. This led us to question whether overt training increativity could yield even greater improvements in creativity than are already gained in a skills-based design course.A

, over6,000 bachelor degrees are awarded in BME/BioE every year. Due to the broad nature of thediscipline, there is a large variability in BME curricula [1]. Despite this variability, there arecommon features that are shared within BME education. Specifically, it is common to see coretopics in materials science, mechanics, fluid mechanics, transport, thermodynamics, signals andsystems analysis, instrumentation/electronics, and imaging [2,3]. Thus, the goal with our BMEconcentration area is to expand our current integrated engineering curricular offerings to producewell-rounded engineering graduates that are exposed to these topics in a biomedical context.Our Biomedical Engineering Concentration Overview.

The studentsparticipate in an introductory course, however, as a result of the available degrees, biomedicalengineering (BME) is only discussed briefly throughout their education.To inform students of the possibilities in BME, an Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Coursewas developed. Introducing the emphasis areas within BME is conducted by using the Introduction toBiomedical Engineering by Enderle and Bronzino [1] as a guide. The text divides emphasis areas ofBME (Biomechanics, Biomaterials, Bioelectricity) into chapters and takes students through theseareas and supplies examples.

It was also contended that qualityengineering concepts that include device regulation, standards and safety engineering may beeven more important than product development (design) in BME education [3].

ProcessIntroductionGraduates from ABET accredited engineering programs are expected to demonstrate an ability tocommunicate effectively [1-2]. Developing students’ technical writing skills are particularlydifficult to teach and more time consuming to assess [3], often limiting the number of opportunitiesstudents have to practice and improve throughout their undergraduate education. While recentstudies have shown positive impacts of using rubrics to measure student scientific writing skills[2-5], little has been reported regarding the cumulative impacts of a structured student writingproces. Here we expand on previous work, which introduced a student technical writing processand presented preliminary data supporting improvements in students’ technical writing skills

The performance of students in the lab course (n=21) can be compared to performanceof a control group of students who did not opt into the lab course (n=7) and only attended thetraditional lecture course. Assessment of learning was evaluated in three ways: 1) self-perceivedaccomplishment of lab learning objectives reported by students in the lab course through ananonymous survey, 2) instructor evaluation of learning objectives assessed via lab reports, and 3)student performance on the final exam in the traditional style course, ~10 weeks after the labexperiences concluded.
