Bioengineering from Clemson University in December 2006. He has worked for over 25 years as a biomechanical research engineer, and has co-authored over 200 peer-reviewed conference or journal publications in the areas of biomechanics, biomaterials tribology, engineering education, biomed- ical design and mechanical testing. He directs the Laboratory of Orthopaedic Design and Engineering on the main campus of Clemson University, and in his 7 years since joining the bioengineering faculty, he has graduated 4 PhD students and 15 MS students, and has led or has been a co-PI on numerous multi-disciplinary research teams funded through NASA, DoT, DoD, NIH, NSF, the Gates Foundation, biomedical industry and other regional non-profit

individual team member. For the team that starts in the summer, the faculty can give them more autonomy in defining the project scope and objective. c) Promotion of both teamwork and individual excellence: Available ITL methods normally have students working in teams with similar learning speed and paths. Students in the RBL model will form teams and have plenty of opportunities to practice teamwork. At the same time, each student will be encouraged to do his/her best in achieving the individual goal set by the supervising faculty and the student. For example, after completing the senior design, the students who will attend graduate school/medical school are usually motivated to write up a

She received a B.S. in biological systems engineering at the University of California, Davis, and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at the University of Virginia. Taylor’s teaching activities are focused on develop- ing and teaching core introductory courses and technical labs for bioengineering undergraduates, as well as coordinating the capstone design sequence for the BIOE Department at the University of Washington. Taylor currently pursues educational research and continuous improvement activities, with the ultimate goal of optimizing

 consistently expressed that the program experiences with the faculty, graduate students, andpeers had an impact on their career choices. Students who had participated over 9 years agoconsistently supported this finding. Program alumni discussed how the program confirmed theirinterest in pursuing graduate school, exposed them to the nature of graduate school, built theirconfidence and increased their enthusiasm for scientific research. A number of the programalumni are currently in/have completed medical school (14.7%), with 4 in MD/PhD programs.Some alumni found that while the research experience was valuable it allowed them to determinea non-research career was a better option (“Helped confirm that I was most comfortable workingin…medicine.”).

. First, the Scholars created a need specification statements that included:defining the problem, explaining the significance of the problem, describing the physiology ofthe problem, describing how the problem is currently approached, explaining the issues withthese approaches from all three observational perspectives, summarizing new approaches on thehorizon, and listing the constraints that any future solution will have to meet. Second, theScholars generated three potential solution concepts as well as a preliminary productdevelopment plan that reflects FDA design control and regulatory best practices. Plans includedrealistic timelines considering the necessary research, experimentation and an iterative designprocess.Of the three plans that

Page 26.947.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Inquiry-based learning followed by peer-teaching in a physiological signals lab: Work in ProgressIntroductionCooperative, student-centric pedagogical models have been shown extensively to enhancestudent learning. Not completely unrelated to these models, student attitude and motivation has asignificant impact on student learning. Grades make a convenient extrinsic motivator forstudents to learn but when students are intrinsically motivated the learning occurs at a higherlevel1. Along those lines many instructors are exploring how to utilize active learning inlaboratory classes2,3,4 because cookie-cutter labs do not
