whether intentional, verticalalignment of engineering experiences ultimately better prepares BME undergraduates for theirsenior design capstone projects and their professional pursuits.IntroductionInductive teaching methods have encouraged higher levels of student cognition [1]-[2], improvedstudent teamwork and communication [3], and allowed increased student confidence duringengineering design prototyping [4]. Paired with a resurgence of hands-on learning in theengineering community [5], inductive teaching methods allow instructors to incorporate realproblems that require physical prototype solutions. Our work aims to incorporate one specificinductive teaching method, project based learning (PBL), into sophomore and junior levelBiomedical

same time as the second capstone designcourse in which the students continue assessing the feasibility of their design projects, developtheir functional design specifications and work toward system-level designs. Thus, the deviceevaluation course complements the design process topics with those of regulation and deviceevaluation and allows for course assignments specific to the students’ design projects. Thecourse is offered two quarters after the Professional Topics in Biomedical Engineering courseand builds upon other professional BME topics such as intellectual property, engineeringstandards, design for manufacturing, healthcare economics, globalization of medical devices,ethics in medical device development, documentation, and user

shouldbe given a comprehensive introduction to standards, gain familiarity with key standardsorganizations in their respective disciplines, study standards in the context of relevant casestudies, and graduate with the ability to identify and apply relevant standards in the engineeringdesign process [6]. These recommendations are consistent with those from a more recent paneldiscussion on standards education at the Capstone Design Conference in 2012, which furtherrecognized that, to help achieve the desired proficiency of students to apply standardsappropriately in their capstone design project, standards education should start earlier in thecurriculum [7].Several barriers to effective teaching of standards in engineering curricula have been cited

transfer thisknowledge and apply it to a new project in Senior Design. These findings support theeducational practice of “spacing” [18] and repetition. Furthermore, although statistical analysiscould not be performed, we did measure a greater percentage of teams that incorporated ISO10993 as design criteria justification in phase 1 of Senior Design when they had taken Cell &Tissue Lab (which includes ISO 10993-5 as a lab procedure) compared to when they had not(28% vs. 16%).In many engineering undergraduate curricula, capstone may be the only time that a studentengages with engineering standards (our Cohort 1); however, our data reveal the importance ofrepeated exposure throughout the curriculum.

intersection of engineering and medicine,and thus fail to witness how critical thinking, problem solving, and interprofessionalcollaboration can improve healthcare.With support from the National Institutes of Health, we have created a Clinical Peer Mentors(CPM) immersion program for BME undergraduates to provide unique opportunities for studentsto interface with clinicians in their native environment, conduct clinical needs identification andassessment, and generate well defined capstone design projects. Moreover, CPMs share theirnewfound clinical knowledge to the broader BME student body by creating informationalmaterials and services, refining their leadership and communication skills in the process. Thisallows increased awareness of the clinical

Division’s call for papers evenincluded “design projects outside of the 1st year and senior capstone courses” as an “emergingtopic of particular interest”. The BME design sequence at the institution studied includes threedesign-related courses in addition to the Introduction to Engineering and senior design courses.The second course in this design sequence is the undergraduate laboratory course, but the design-related task was not introduced in detail until after collection of student definitions. Since thisstudent population was the furthest removed from a design-related course assignment, it followsthat they would have the lowest frequency of design-related phrases in their definition of BME(12%).
