The program has two Peer Mentors, who areundergraduates with research experience, that live with the students and participate in theresearch project. The mentors are also responsible for additional social and academic activitiesduring nights and weekends. This paper describes the program, evaluations and critiques fromthe first year (from both research mentors and participants), as well as the challenges andopportunities the program presents to future “Research Experience for Undergraduates”programs.

in a Bioinstrumentation Laboratory CourseAbstractMany lecture courses use muddy points as an instructional assessment technique that allows theinstructor to gather information about the topics that are not clear to the students at the end ofeach class. Using this information, the amount of lecture time allocated to a specific topic can beincreased or decreased to match students’ feedback and emphasize the areas where the studentsneed more support.A modified version of this technique was recently implemented in a junior level, project-basedbioinstrumentation course that focuses around the design, construction and testing of biomedicaltechnology. At the end of each class, students take an on-line survey where they are asked toidentify the

students devote considerable effort to the design and developmentof their projects, but that they are not as motivated to devote time and effort to writing. As aresult, their final reports often have significant problems with organization, clarity, andeffectiveness. Therefore, we recently adopted several new strategies to improve the quality ofstudent writing. Our goals were to 1) encourage students to work on their writing earlier andthroughout the semester; 2) engage every student in each team in the writing process; 3) usewriting as a tool to improve students’ understanding of the clinical problem that they areaddressing and how their design addresses their client’s needs; and 4) improve the quality of thefinal reports.To achieve these goals

The following rules were established to facilitate and reward the collaboration andlearning:a) Personal accountability vs. team performance: Each student was responsible as individual for his product assignment (for example microcontroller HW&SW) while the team was responsible for the product.b) Co-tutoring: During the evaluation of the project any student could be required to explain, in detail, any design/implementation aspect. Students trained each other about their own specific aspect.c) Any type of intra-team

This data was then collapsed into Dym’s model from which empiricalassociations were made between the various stages. Coupled with the teams’ open-ended weeklyreflections, we were able to identify educational patterns that potentially lead to higher or lowerquality designs. Based on their final artifact, teams were judged to be innovative or non-innovative. We found that differences exist between those teams innovative non-innovativeteams.
