faculty, the faculty is involved in the analysis of these data, andany changes made in response to the data are implemented by the faculty. The system’s course-centered approach aids in keeping the faculty engaged in the process and helps to measureoutcomes consistently even when the course changes hands. The system has been operating forthree years and has recently generated data to support a formal ABET review that has led to anaccredited status.References1. J.D. Enderle, J. Gassert, S.

statistics must represent the actual results of calibration and the results should not be hidden by manipulating the numbers. Student Feedback: In general, the students seem to appreciate the course and what it is trying to teach. The hands-on nature of the course is well appreciated. This is the first opportunity that some of the students have gotten to use some of the equipment, such as an oscilloscope. One of the students felt that the text book(s) could be used more. I suspect that they do not see the value in using the texts as a reference and they therefore resent having to purchase the book and then not having homework problems assigned out of it. Reflection: The course seems to be well received by the students. I still feel that they learn

To alleviate scheduling problems, the joint meeting(s) will be heldin the evening. Previous experience in other classes shows that when the students have thisopportunity to interact informally, it facilitates interactions during videoconferencing classesthroughout the semester.Finally, changes to the NCSU curriculum will be implemented to provide better background toNCSU students, which will greatly ease the disparity between the two institutions.

There was a low to negligible correlations among othercombinations, with the strongest (up to 0.3) being between attitudes about intelligence andprogramming items. We assessed the correlations between ratings on each LSI dimension andagreement with the six statements. We found most of the correlations were small. The highestcorrelation was between SEN/INT dimension and the first statement about programming skills.The more strongly a student scores as a “sensor”, the more s/he believes that her/hisprogramming aptitude cannot be changed.We did not uncover any clear evidence that students with different learning styles

recognized "core"of material that has been relatively stable for at least ten years. It has evolved in the field withoutany agency or body attempting to specify such a core. Unfortunately, it is difficult to look backto the early 70’s when the first programs were created to see the evolution to this point.However, the data presented here will provide a point of reference for studying the evolution ofthe undergraduate bioengineering curriculum in the future. Our analyses have emphasized commonalities across BME, but there is clearly alsoconsiderable diversity in BME undergraduate curricula. If we were to investigate certain otherbranches of engineering, at least five or six topics would be expected to be nearly 100%consistent across programs

As a primary example, consider one of the lessons inthe Biomaterials course that focuses on corrosion. Instead of telling the students that today’slesson will cover concepts simply related to corrosion, and that they should study the assignedreading prior to the lesson, the following lesson objectives are also listed: a. Explain the thermodynamic reason for corrosion and develop the Nernst Equation. b. Analyze Evans plots and polarization curves to better understand corrosion rates. c. Discuss the various types of corrosion, and understand the differences between them.Hopefully it is
