The new aspects of this statics course are: (1) the blended format; (2) thedevelopment of novel activities for the classroom and laboratory; (3) the use of a “lightboard”, inwhich the instructor writes on a glass board while facing the video camera, to record the mini-lecture videos; (4) the flexibility for the instructor to “flip” any desired percentage of thesemester’s lectures; (5) the collections of videos and activities are available for instructors acrossmultiple campuses.

Toachieve these goals, the undergraduate research will be paired with a Research Methods course.The broad goals of this research methods course are to improve the productivity of thesubsequent undergraduate laboratory research course while providing the skills to apply for andreceive competitive funding, admissions, and conferences. In the social sciences, undergraduate research methods courses are fairly common.[3-5]These courses usually focus on developing, using, and interpreting surveys along with statisticalanalysis techniques. While these courses are less common in the hard sciences and engineering,some similar courses are offered.[6-8] In

Requiringformal lab reports is an effective tool to integrate substantive learning into a written structure aswell as integrating communication skills into curriculum. It has been suggested that increasingthe number of collaborative writing assignments in the form of lab reports will result insignificant levels of improvement [18].This paper describes a series of teaching strategies to enhance students’ technical writing in thecontext of group-based lab assignments.

Through the sequence of projects, student teams worked to design (1) fracturefixation plates, (2) electromyogram-controlled motor systems, (3) compact spectrophotometers,and (4) drug dosing devices. We also developed a common instructional Design Module andused it in each course to build student understanding of the BME design
