Two written deliverables aredue at the end of each clerkship: at least one clinical problem or unmet clinical need, and at leastone clinical case study designed to the needs of preselected BME classes. Writing these reports isexcellent training for students in technical writing, itself considered a high-impact practice [7].Clinical needs reports are designed for use by the design instructors in BME. Each reportconsists of (a) a problem

University of Texas at Austin. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Work in Progress: Curriculum on Diversity and Ethics: Impact in an Introductory Bioengineering CourseEthics and diversity are critical components of engineering training and practice, but mostundergraduate engineering programs do not address these issues in-depth [1-3]. In this work-in-progress, we describe the design and implementation of a novel curriculum focused on theinterplay of diversity and ethics.We launched this curriculum through an honors section in a large introductory bioengineeringcourse at the University of Washington. The creation of an honors section builds on our previouswork, where we discussed

studentparticipation, and the impacts those activities had on the traditional lecture sessions. 2. Introduction In the past two decades, the extensive research on teaching methods has provided an increasingamount of insight in the most effective active teaching and learning processes1,2. The outcomes ofdifferent studies vary, but a major consensus is that active learning works3: at worst, active learningdoesn’t harm students’ outcomes; at best, it doubles students’ retention4. Consequently, activelearning was incorporated in fields such as STEM,5,6 history and political sciences,7 and business8.Each field, however, focused on different active elements: business school courses are traditionallyknown as mostly case-study based, while engineering courses

sequence in the BME department at the University of Virginia, and his research interests are in the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. He is also interested in evaluating the pedagogical approaches optimal for teaching lab concepts and skills, computational mod- eling approaches, and professionalism within design classes. Dr. Allen also serves as PI and director for an NSF-funded Multi-Scale Systems Bioengineering REU site at U.Va. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Retrospective Multi-year Analysis of Team Composition Dynamics and Performance within a Yearlong Integrative BME Laboratory SequenceAbstractUndergraduate Biomedical Engineering majors at the University

earning his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Dr. Stege- mann worked for five years at Boston-based W.R. Grace & Co. (later called Circe Biomedical), where his research focused on cell-based bioartificial organs. Dr. Stegemann’s current research focuses on the use of extracellular environments to control cell function and the development of engineered tissues. He is also an active educator in the BME Design Program at the University of Michigan, with a focus on graduate-level medical product design and development. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 The Clinical Peer Mentors Program: Student Motivations, Skills and Knowledge

did not explicitly capture the “analysis” and“modeling” aspects of this ABET criterion because they do not necessitate the design or creationof something new. As these terms lend themselves easily to research efforts in BME (e.g.,proteomics analysis or cardiovascular disease modeling), exploring the degree to whichundergraduate students are cognizant of these aspects of the field may yield important insightsinto a student’s choice to attend graduate school or pursue a research-based career.d) Making Measurements on and Interpreting Data from Living Systems This was the only criterion for which an analog was not identified in the student-provided definitions of BME. It represents an important differentiation from all other ABET
