Society for Engineering Education, 2015 The DeFINE Program: A Clinical Immersion for Biomedical Needs Identification I. IntroductionThere is a need for biomedical engineering students to more fully engage in the problemidentification and needs-finding stages of the biomedical device design process throughexperiential learning and immersive experiences. Many publications have documented theimportance of immersion outcomes in design, technology commercialization, and overall studentlearning.Kline et al. documents eight best practices for technology commercialization projects that fosterinnovation education and fit a variety of innovation stages that might vary per student design.1Zappe et al. agrees

Theresearch project conducted by the 16 undergraduates has so far yielded one journal article, onemanuscript in review, one in preparation, and six conference presentations/posters. Seven of the16 students went on to pursue a graduate degree.

student development of these skills.While freshmen-level bioengineering courses include scientific, biological, chemical, physical,mathematical, and engineering principles, students struggle to understand how these conceptsintegrate as a whole in the field of bioengineering, in part due to the broad nature of the field(ranging from medical to environmental applications). With time, greater appreciation for thefield occurs well into their senior years (i.e., capstone design) but may limit the amount of timethat students can nurture these specialized skills before graduation. Therefore, by offering moreopportunities to foster research-related skills (hypothesis formulation, dataanalysis/interpretation, oral communication) early in their education

In contrast, some research suggests thatfaculty and student learning styles are often different and graduate students look more likefaculty populations. In our study, we did not disaggregate the master’s level and doctoral levelstudents. It is possible that some variations between master’s and doctoral students could impactthis analysis.Our final question looked at whether learning styles impact student use of instructionaltechnologies.
