- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate. Toprovide a low-cost and scalable approach to

Participants were asked to indicate the professions of severalfamily members (mother/guardian 1, father/guardian 2, siblings, other relative, and spouse) as any of severaloptions (medical/health professional, scientist, engineer, teacher, other science, technology, or math relatedfield, and non-science related career). Each potential profession was treated as its own binary independentvariable indicating the presence of that profession among any of the indicated family members.

The teaching distribution shifts substantially for required courses taken in the second year,with BME responsible for 66%, and the computer science department responsible for most of therest (26%). For junior and senior level courses, BME is responsible for almost all (92%), whichby this point are largely the simulation and modeling courses. It is uncommon for the BME department to be responsible for OOP courses, but this is thecase at seven universities (Lawrence Technological University, Marquette University, and theUniversities of Colorado at Denver, Maryland College Park, Memphis, Miami, and Texas atAustin).Examples As already seen, there is a great deal of

Continually Challenged with Integrated Design ProjectsAbstractIntroduction: The undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum should preparestudents to confidently approach complex problems, as graduates will enter the workforce in anenvironment of rising healthcare costs, decreasing average life expectancy, and significantsocioeconomic disparities in health outcomes. With this landscape, solutions to contemporaryproblems will require innovative thinking and groundbreaking medical technologies, suggestingthat the future of BME will be increasingly design-oriented. BME curricula generally includelaboratory and project components aimed at preparing students for senior capstone; however,students may begin capstone
