The design of theprogramming activities was driven by the inexperience of the potential participants, and theseactivities, such as Peer Mentor activities and developmental activities, were positively receivedand did not hinder research productivity. Enhanced recruiting during the second year of theprogram will be targeted at improving the diversity of the participants. Finally, smallmodifications to the programming will be implemented based on the participants feedback.Bibliography1.

bioengineering laboratory courseAbstractSuccessful engineers are competent in 21st century skills (problem-solving, critical thinking,technology literacy, creativity, independent learning, excellent communication, and collaborationskills), as well as technical and mathematical principles in order to develop societal solutions.Typically, undergraduate engineering programs utilize capstone design projects and problem setsto promote understanding and integration of engineering concepts. However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to

Engineering laboratories in which students follow detailedprocedures without deviation are unlikely to impart the ability to design and conductexperiments because the students never experience designing experiments and are being ledby prescriptive instructions rather than by a protocol they established on their own. Providedthey follow the instructions correctly, the students

engineering (BME), which is still a young field relative to the more“traditional” engineering disciplines, has been responsible for many high-impact biomedicaladvances (both clinically and in basic research) over the past 50-60 years1. However, over thelast decade the field of BME has been significantly transformed by far-reaching new scientificand technological developments. The human genome has been sequenced2,3, the field ofbioinformatics has generated powerful data annotation and database management tools4,diagnostic and imaging approaches are evolving at a rapid pace due to advances in molecularnanotechnology5, and computational power and capabilities are increasing exponentially everyyear. But the faster the pace of biomedical discovery, the

Incorporating community-building activities into undergraduate researchprograms can help provide students with a more meaningful and positive research experience.IntroductionDespite widespread recognition of the importance of maintaining a well-trained science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce and significant efforts to recruit and retainstudents in these fields, the number of students earning engineering undergraduate and advanceddegrees in STEM fields in the United States is decreasing.
