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

be careful of actionsthat can be viewed as belittling, humiliating, ridiculing or shaming of students. It appears criticism,humor and raised voices are viewed as unhelpful by some students.Overall, there appears to be an increase in the number of student complaints. Maybe this is areflection of the increasingly litigious nature of society. Instructors need to evaluate periodicallytheir classroom policies to reflect the reality that expectations in 2020 are not the same as that of20 or 40 years ago, when many of today’s instructors were students.References:[1] C.

isan important part of responsible engineering design and technology [16], [17]. The social aspectof the model also speaks to the inherently social nature of ESI since ethical decisions are made incomplex organizational contexts that include many stakeholders [18]. Engineering ethics hastraditionally been taught with an individualistic approach that emphasizes the action andautonomy of a single actor; however, this approach has been criticized for not accounting for thecontext in which engineers work and their broader role in society [19]. The framework was alsoappropriate for this study because it relates moral and ethical development with understandingthe broader context, which mirrors both the microethical and macroethical dimensions

Scaffolding from instructors may reduce harmful (often process andrelationship) conflict and help students understand the importance of necessary (often task) conflict.

Moreover,with the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) sprung up rapidly in China, a teaching teamin Tianjin University reconstructed the engineering graphics course by forming a completeknowledge hierarchy, carrying out the flipped classroom teaching with a student-centeredapproach, and adopting multi-dimensional assessment method [7].There are many other instances of these educational reforms in undergraduate engineeringeducation. However, most of them are implemented into a single course, which meansstudents are supposed to complete the transition from theory to practice in a very short periodof time, usually
