engineeringapproach to biomedical systems will almost always involve and require the ability to collect dataand accurately interpret it in the context of relevant system physiology. The Master of Science(MS) program in BMED at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo involves a core curriculum that focuses onthe collection and application of data in a three-part sequence: data collection, statistical dataanalysis, and data-driven modeling. The goal of this sequence is to provide a foundational skillset that is immediately applicable to any chosen subdiscipline within BMED.The first course in this sequence is BMED 505: Biomedical Signal Transduction and DataAcquisition and includes a laboratory component to offer students a hands-on opportunity to notonly engage in building

students.After each of the two weekly classes, students take an online quiz consisting of ten questions with four possibleanswers. The best of three possible attempts is counted towards the final grade. The intent of these online quizzesis for students to master the fundamental concepts, and understand a numerical algorithm by performing itmanually. Each quiz is due before the next class. This ensures that each student has learned the previous classmaterial. When students complete every course assignment conscientiously, they become proficient in the topics,and the course learning outcomes are achieved.In the lab each week, students implement one or more numerical methods using Excel and VBA to solve a real-world problem. Students bring an Excel

Fridays feature enrichment activities and field studies.In the mathematics class, students are divided into groups to accommodate their different skilllevels, as determined by their completed math courses and their results in a standardizedplacement test, and thereby ensuring students have ample opportunities to master content andreceive feedback on their performance. Students work individually and in groups, againensuring that students have access to vicarious learning experiences. The syllabus is designed insuch a way that, after eight weeks, students are working on topics one course level higher than atthe beginning of the program.The science class is divided in three segments: biology, chemistry
theCAD tools, so the class time I traditionally spend on CAD training is highly inefficient. Moving the trainingonline allowed students to master the skills at their own pace. Upon return to in-person instruction, thismaterial will remain offloaded to the virtual environment, freeing up class time for other activities. This isjust one example from one class. I have identified numerous examples of content in each of my coursesthat will probably remain in an asynchronous virtual format, resulting, in my opinion, in better skillacquisition is less time.An important pedagogical goal in all my courses, but particularly in my engineering ethics and sustainableengineering classes, is to foster good class discussion.

There is some trend towards the conclusion of research topic help students to master problem solving in that topic. But this data in general is inconclusive. We will continue same procedure with other student groups to collect more data. Overall average grades of groups 2, 3, and 4 are greater than the control group. The average of group 5 is slightly less than the control group. But group 1 had very low average overall grade compared to all of the other groups and control group.

BME’s shows that around 50%pursue BME master and doctoral levels; 25% went to BME industry; 17% went to medical school;5.6% MS in health-care related programs and the remaining 2.8% follow other paths. The studentbody, as the discipline itself, has diverse motivations and professional pathways. Therefore, thereis a need to deliver the course content in a way that promotes intrinsic motivation for this diversepopulation. The problem based methodology motivates the pre-medical students [1] becausethey see the usefulness of the theory in realistic medical problems while the students aiming togo to industry appreciate the technical aspects and the explicit connections with the regulatoryworld.Industry Expectations: In addition to the technical
