Because of the rapid growth in student entry into the Department as well as the breadthof career pathways, it was recognized that there was a need for students to be introduced to theBioengineering faculty and research early in their academic career. This need is well-established, and arises out of the need to satisfy student curiosity aboutthe bioengineering discipline, to provide students with information about the department, and toinstill in students the beginnings of much-needed technical survival skills. These first yearcourses can improve academic performance, stimulate interest and improve retention, and betterprepare students for future coursework1-3. It is

technology, is used to constructinnovative online assignments that provide students with real time formative feedback as theyattempt to solve quantitative engineering problems. The interactive system has found favor withinstructors, teaching assistants and students. Because each step taken by the student in theproblem solution is recorded by the accompanying learning management system, students andinstructors can easily review modules to determine where the student went wrong. This approachalso frees Teaching Assistants from the necessity of grading homework, most of which areworked correctly, and allows them to spend time with the students who most need their help.Because of the many options available in the authoring tool, novice developers often
