duration, the number of the students involved, and the impact onstudent learning and career development. It started in the spring of 2010. Tristan Maerzgraduated from the BME program at LTU in 2009. He showed strong interest in biomaterials andtissue engineering research from the courses I taught where I shared my previous researchexperience in these areas. After graduation, Tristan was hired as a research engineer in Dr. KevinBaker’s Orthopedic Research Laboratory in William Beaumont Hospital while also starting hisgraduate study at Wayne State University. With support from Dr. Baker, Tristan approached me Page 26.672.4and proposed to start a
information ismissing. None of these are easily developed in a traditional classroom.We therefore included an additional objective, which is to develop a skill that is often desired ofstudents but the development of which is not supported by lecture or laboratory formats: 4. Explaining, defending, and forming positions on technical matters via oral argument. Page 24.38.2We used the Socratic method enhanced by online assessment and discussion tools to meet theseseemingly disparate objectives.Course structureThere were no lectures; rather, instruction relied entirely on preparation according to a case studygiven to students, and subsequent

A Raman system will be brought into the class andsimilar readings as with the fluorescence system will be done.Eight students, about half of the class, were in the laboratory section associated with this class.They were able to use the fluorescence and Raman instrumentation through the lab. The rest ofthe class used the equipment in the classroom when topics three and five were discussed.Test your MettleIn-class activities were used to quickly get the students thinking and to serve as a refresher of theprevious topic. These activities were given as handouts at the beginning of class. Students wereallowed to complete the activities and were then asked to share their answer with a partner, theclass, or on the board (see appendix for

interface of engineering, medicine and ethics, while allowing students ofdiffering majors to explore areas of BmE of interest to them.Given that so much of the course depended on instructor-class interactions, where significant un-scripted (but theme-driven) information was exchanged, the students were required to take notesin a bound laboratory notebook. A secondary goal of the notebook requirement was to encouragestudents to learn to take good notes. The quality and content of a student’s note-taking for eachlecture was graded every two or three weeks based on whether the essence of the lecture (i.e., its3 to 6 main points) and enough supporting material (like graphs) were captured such that thenotebook could serve as a later introductory
. A major focus of this program is on tiered-mentorship, whereby graduate students alsomentor the undergraduates. In the model of graduate student mentors, the graduate student andundergraduate have periodic meetings with the faculty member to report their progress anddiscuss data/results. Depending on the structure of the laboratory, the undergraduate studenteither works directly with the faculty member or the faculty member assigns a graduate studentto work with the undergraduate student. Under the guidance of the faculty member or facultymember/graduate student, the undergraduate students conduct a research project focused onengineering approaches to study the treatment of diabetes or its complications
. I think so. I have an underlying—I don't know what to call it - anxiety that— it is a lot easier to involve students in science if you bring them into a laboratory, and they actually make experiments and things of this kind. I'm essentially a mathematician when everything is said and done, and so it's hard—I feel that pulling people into the math and showing how that relates to science is not as easily done and so I think that he, somehow, bought into it. And in fact, he may even continue doing what he was doing. So, it seemed to me that the whole thing was successful even in cultivating a certain interest that it's often harder to cultivate.”When asked if the program had impacted their own

practice the Four A’s strategy through a homeworkassignment in which they were asked to apply the Four A’s to a particular laboratory situation(Appendix B). The proposed case was based on a real-life example.Assessment ResultsReflective Assignment: The main goal for this assignment was to provide students with thechance to reflect on the material discussed and place it into context. Students were evaluated onwhether they provided a well-developed reflection on the implications and a personal evaluationof the proceedings (Appendix A). For the most part, students were able to synthesize theinformation presented and put it into the context of their own lives or future career goals. Withthe majority of students, obvious effort was put into
