importance ofproviding undergraduate students open-ended, loosely defined projects, and allowing projectteams to assume responsibility for design and innovation.2. INTRODUCTIONEngineers, clinicians and patients often struggle to find balance between innovative technologyand the human side of medical care. Graduate level educational programs dedicated to teachingbiomedical innovation have seen significant growth in the last decade [1-7]. In addition, the fieldof biomedical engineering has seen a dramatic escalation in activity over the past 20 yearsleading to innovative medical devices and procedures. Due to the multidisciplinary characteristicof the field, biomedical engineering has a diverse research impact, often serving as a bridgebuilder between

There was no assessment process in place to identify at what point students droppedout, where they were going, why they were leaving, and what could be done to reverse thetrends. An innovative solution was needed – one that would satisfy the needs of the diversestudent population in a growing, urban, public institution striving to expand its mission toinclude a sizeable research agenda. Any proposed solutions would also have to be integratedwith the ABET EC 2000 criteria, yet be flexible enough to adapt to a changing academic
