We found that ourBME students were more reflective than has typically been reported for engineering students.Consistent with reports for other engineering student populations, our students are stronglyvisual. Thus, professors should make a concerted effort to use more pictures, graphs, diagrams,flow charts, and demonstrations. Keep in mind that we all learn more when information ispresented both verbally and visually.

In addition to the potential for improved student outcomes withinductive learning, the real world nature of PBL modules can lend itself for engineering design experiencesthat may also include broader Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). The goal of this project was to introduce a PBL module with a real world scenario into“Biomechanics” courses that cover the theory and methods for solving dynamics problems.

, and the few that I had spoken with were very experienced surgeons. They’re brilliant, but extremely stubborn… it’s very difficult to change their way of thinking. I was interning at a medical device company and that was what was more concerning, was trying to get them to agree, or we would show them statistics and they would say ‘I don’t think so’. Working with doctors, or future doctors, they haven’t yet been locked down in their way of thinking. They still had their non-engineering mind providing ideas, but they were open to other ideas. That was really refreshing. Not all doctors think they’re the smartest ones in the room. It changed my perspective of doctors.”Similarly, students also provided

given to each student: Course: This is a three-hour survey course whose aim is to give you a brief exposure to the biomedical and rehabilitation engineering field. As such, it is impossible for me to transmit any knowledge to you in detail. I hopefully will present you with a pretty good feel for the field, based on my 35 years of experience in it. To be fair, it also follows that assignments cannot have real depth. But they can be broad, and the can test the developing status of your engi- neering mind.

So that when they go to college, its in their minds.
