participated in lab andcomputational CURE (Both) and students who only in computational CURE (Computational).A Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test was used to compare the Likert scale results from each surveyquestion by CURE group. None of the results were significantly different with the following p-values: Relevance (0.2085), Scientific Practice (0.5708), Collaboration (0.5611), Iteration(0.7405), Discovery (0.7909), and Feel Prepared for own Research Projects (0.9601). Thispreliminary result supports the hypothesis that there would be no significant difference betweenthe groups. Further study of the impact of this computational CURE is needed to examine therole of project design, student major, year of study, and other confounding factors.References[1] C

specifically use the inductive teaching method, project-based learning (PBL), insophomore (200-) and junior (300-) level BME laboratory courses. PBL is built around student-centered instruction, and its hallmark is a concrete end-product that has been designed throughiterative refinement. Inclusion of four, progressively more challenging design projects into thesophomore and junior year courses provides students opportunity to practice iterative refinementprior to a capstone experience. Further, the literature supports that constructivist principlesground PBL experiences in context-specific learning, active engagement, and sharing ofknowledge [8]-[10], all of which we feel are necessary for successful engineering project work.When designed well, PBL
research interests include novel assessments of educational efficacy, the molecular basis of cell movement, and the mitigation of infectious diseases. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Clinician-engineer career bias and its relationship to engineering design self-efficacy among Biomedical Engineering undergraduatesBackgroundBiomedical engineering undergraduates are often drawn to clinical practice rather than to careersin engineering – 54% according to one study in 2008 [1]. An informal survey of recent careeroutcome dashboards suggests that this remains the case, though medical schools are not calledout separately in those reports. These

’) that described the experimental protocol followed by the students at institute B. Thestudents at university A were told to imagine that they were graduate students whose objectivewas to replicate an experiment, or researchers inside a company whose task was to communicatean experimental protocol to a technician who would then be required to perform the labexperiment. It should be noted that due to logistical constraints, these students could notphysically replicate the experiment. Students at university A were then asked to rate the qualityof the reports that they had analyzed, mainly for their respective ability to understand andreplicate the experiment (Appendix C). All written reports were anonymized and assigned atrandom. The respective
experience can then further reinforce the students’ level of understanding of these topicsto prepare them to be successful engineers in the medical device industry.[1] R.

Paper ID #29283Understanding Identity among Biomedical Engineering Students andProfessionalsMr. Emmett Jacob SpringerDr. Aileen Huang-Saad, University of Michigan Aileen is faculty in Engineering Education and Biomedical Engineering. Previously, Aileen was the Associate Director for Academics in the Center for Entrepreneurship and was responsible for building the Program in Entrepreneurship for UM undergraduates, co-developing the masters level entrepreneur- ship program, and launching the biomedical engineering graduate design program. Aileen has received a number of awards for her teaching, including the Thomas M. Sawyer
Transformations Institute and conducts research on online as well as intercultural engineering education. In his work, he focuses on develop- ing broader educational strategies for the design and use of online engineering equipment, putting these into practice and provide the evidence base for further development efforts. Moreover, he is develop- ing instructional concepts to bring students into international study contexts so that they can experience intercultural collaboration and develop respective competences. Dr. May is Vice President of the Interna- tional Association of Online Engineering (IAOE), which is an international non-profit organization with the objective of encouraging the wider development, distribution and
Michigan. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton (2003) and a Ph.D. in Engineering Edu- cation from Purdue University (2008). Her research focuses on strategies for design innovations through divergent and convergent thinking as well as through deep needs and community assessments using design ethnography, and translating those strategies to design tools and education. She teaches design and en- trepreneurship courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on front-end design processes.Dr. Lisa R.
