approach to give students the opportunity to apply engineering principles at the smallestscales of BME (Bioinformatics), at the tissue level (Biomaterials Design and QuantitativeHuman Physiology), at the macroscale (Biomechanics) and, finally, to integrate principles fromall scales into the design of medical devices (Medical Devices) [4]. The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams. We plan to weave in issues of social responsibility and ethics intoour BME curriculum

Participation in the lab course is optional, and all students in the labcourse were also enrolled in the traditional style course.Materials and Methods: Students carry out hands-on experiments to synthesize, modify, andapply gold nanoparticles to solve problems in a biomedical context. They are required to writehypotheses, develop aspects of the experimental plans, analyze data, and draw conclusions fromthe data.Assessment of learning was primarily evaluated based on the pre-defined learning objectivesrelated to each of the three lab sequences and student performance on a final exam in the lecturecourse.

This project is assigned at thebeginning of the quarter, and the teams are encouraged to work on it throughout the quarter inparallel with their design process. The project results are then presented in class in place of thefinal exam.AssessmentIn the current academic year, the Biomedical Device Evaluation course was taught for the firsttime (N = 45 students). In May 2019, a survey will be administered to assess the students’perceived knowledge of the regulatory and device evaluation topics, their level of confidence inthat knowledge relative to other professional BME topics, and its applicability

PopulationTo provide a better understanding of the size of the student population investigated, some categorical statisticsare presented. The total enrollment (Ne) of students across the six years of data within these four majors is Ne =9381 (BME = 1367, ChE = 3678, MSE = 791, ME = 3545). The total degrees granted (Nd) across these fourmajors is Nd = 3228 (BME = 418, ChE = 1113, MSE = 329, ME = 1368). The analyses and results in this paperare based on these populations.Career Outcomes and SalaryWithin the data set, students have the option to report four possible outcomes upon graduation. These include:career employment, further education, looking for job, and other plans. Career employment (Industry) includesstudents that have accepted a career offer

Students responded to individualitems on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from “not at all true of me” (1 point) to “very true of me”(7 points). The scale score was computed by computing the mean of the items making up thescale.

study, students near the end of their BME undergraduateeducation are less likely to perceive BME in terms of its potential impact on society. This may bedue to an increased awareness of how the student as an individual will be asked to contribute tothe field as he or she nears graduation. Students within the degree program also appear to have agreater appreciation for BME as an interdisciplinary field with medicine and biology being thetwo most commonly included non-engineering disciplines. Finally, asking students to perform adesign-related task as part of their coursework may encourage the perception of BME in terms ofdevelopment or creation of new devices or processes. As future work, the authors plan to expand collection of

define the objectives of the course before setting any lesson plan. Then, rather thanusing pre-established structures for their course, they can determine the teaching elements thatwould be the most appropriate to reach those objectives. By continuing to move “backwards”, thetopics to be emphasized can be selected, and lastly, the content of each class can be set. Here, using backwards design, we adopt a hybrid approach, and present a multi-leveled activecourse. We created a new course structure that incorporates, in an engineering course, the activeelements that are traditionally used in business school curricula. By doing so, the “Fundamentalsof Nanobiotechnology and Nanobioscience” course aims to get students more involved andengaged in

, staff, and resources within the BME department. It was great to get to know the people behind the scenes and to give feedback in various ways throughout the summer. As a result of my CPM position I was included in many planning and feedback sessions and found myself with new leadership opportunities and visibility in the department. The CPM program was crucial to my college development and has led to many other opportunities.”Likely, this is because CPMs were given opportunities to participate in teaching facultyinterviews, work with staff (e.g. IT, facilities), and provide their input on the BME design space. Other Skills/Knowledge Acquired as a CPM I have a deeper understanding of
