boost in comparison to students with onlyMATLAB skills.Recognizing the importance of staying abreast of these changes, our institution embarked onan ambitious endeavor to convert significant programming exercises and projects across allrequired undergraduate biomedical engineering courses from MATLAB to Python. This effortrequired both retraining of faculty, as well as effort in making the conversions as seamless aspossible. This paper presents the outcomes of this collaborative effort, which involved anetwork of students, faculty, and staff.Methods:The Python conversion efforts of the BME curriculum began the summer of 2022, as a team ofdedicated instructors met in cohorts to experiment with Python adoption and try differentplatforms as

Both classes were taught in person. Lecture sequences and the overall class structure,including homework, assignments, and other logistics such as class time, had high similarities.The only difference between the two classes was the midterm exams: the Spring 2023 class usedthe scaffolded and sequencing two-part exam structure described in this paper, whereas theSpring 2022 had two midterms, 80 minutes each, with 3 text-book style

This study analyzes data over a three-year period. The retention of three first-year cohortswho joined the university in the fall of 2020, 2021 and 2022 is analyzed for students who did anddid not opt-in to the peer mentorship program. The career mentorship program was initiated to support career readiness. However, unlikethe peer mentorship program, the career mentorship program did not reach expected participationrates after the first year. Participation in the career mentorship program declined significantlyfrom 123 students in 2020-21 to just 27 students in 2022-23. An online

Four datasets were analyzed: two for Exam 1 (2022 Fall and 2023Spring) and two for Exam 2 (2022 Fall and 2023 Spring). These datasets contain aggregated itemanalysis reports that summarize question-level metrics such as Correct Ratio, Difficulty Index, andPoint Biserial correlations. No individual student information was included, ensuring the analysiswas entirely anonymized and ethically sound.The 2022 Fall data represent baseline student performance prior to the implementation of anyenhanced teaching strategies.
