We are also currently developing advanced residency courses,which offer students the opportunity to learn the state-of-the art in a specific field taught byleading scientists and working biomedical engineers.BackgroundThe Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that biomedical engineering is expected to be one of thefastest growing occupations from 2014-2024[1]. With a 2015 median pay of almost $90,000 peryear and an expected job growth rate of 23% over the next decade, biomedical engineeringcareers will enjoy a growth rate well above the expected level of 7% for all occupations [2].

For example, if they changed the amount of enzyme used when completing the mass transport analysis, they should change that amount in

We also plan to examine if the results from the current offering arerepeatable in the upcoming offering, and control questions to be more directly comparable. Werecognize the value of evaluating long-term retention, but this type of assessment is difficult asthis course is not part of a required sequence of courses; in fact, there are no required courses atour institution.In conclusion, our findings suggest that assigning an open-ended project in lieu of completingmultiple basic statics problems may not produce gains on this low-knowledge-level type ofanalysis

This process also gives the students a sense of ownership of theproject.All senior design teams in the BME program present their project proposal in early October. Theresearch team is expected to already have a detailed experimental plan by then. They should alsohave completed basic lab skill training. The team will use the remaining one and half monthbefore the semester end to work on experimental setup and conduct pilot tests. It is important forthe faculty to make sure that the students start with small-scale pilot runs for each new study.These pilot runs save resources and time, and provide valuable guidance to improve theexperimental design.

recruited to maintain sufficient levels of student participation.Course AssessmentAt the end of the Fall 2009 semester, all students in the group were given an anonymous surveyto assess learning outcomes for the CU-REPO program. The goal of this survey was todetermine the students’ perception of learning outcomes of the course, and to assess students’perception of perceived educational and professional value of their participation in the courseactivities. Five of the nine students responded to the optional survey. Considering the CreativeInquiry program is designed to have a smaller student to mentor ratio to encourage a direct andmore hands-on interaction, the return of five completed surveys reflects positive feedback andacceptance of the planned

Traditionallytopics in a mechanics/biomechanics course are introduced using derivations with subsequentassignments using the results of these often non-intuitive mathematical procedures. However,few studies have looked at the use of hands-on activities to replace or supplement mathematicalderivations in an effort to connect physical concepts with mathematical equations. Therefore

, a new „abstract‟ format was implemented in orderto incorporate a writing style and inquiry-based approach that will help the student in theirengineering careers.8 The design and planning of this course was based to meet the ABETEC2000 criteria. The foundation for the use of this criteria was to correlate and promote theundergraduate experience to be similar to other courses that have a similar set-up of a laboratoryclass that is mainly used to strengthen the concepts and principles learned in the lecture. Amongthe criteria met, this course included: the application of knowledge of math, science andengineering; the design and execution of experiments and measurements, analysis, andinterpretation of data from living systems; the ability to
