take sevensemesters of required team-based design courses. Historically, students would develop technicalskills as needed based on their project. Through engagement with our constituents we developeda more direct instructional approach at delivering essential engineering tools early in thecurriculum. We previously reported on the creation of this new required second semestersophomore lecture and laboratory course with a guided design project: BME 201, “BiomedicalEngineering Fundamentals and Design” (to replace one of the client-based experiences). Sincethen, this course has evolved to cohesively combine all three components into modules thatrepresent the breadth of BME, including: electronics, programing (MATLAB, LabVIEW, andArduino

Research in the Bhargava laboratories focuses on fundamental theory and simulation for vibrational spectroscopic imaging, developing new instrumentation and developing chemical imaging for molecular pathology. Using 3D printing and engineered tumor models, recent research seeks to elucidate hetero-cellular interactions in cancer progression. Rohit’s work has been recognized with several research awards nationally. Among recent honors are the Meggers Award (Society for applied spectroscopy, 2014), Craver Award (Coblentz Society, 2013) and the FACSS Innovation Award (2012). Rohit has

, Urbana-Champaign Dr. Marcia Pool is a Lecturer in bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In her career, Marcia has been active in improving undergraduate education through developing problem-based laboratories to enhance experimental design skills; developing a preliminary design course focused on problem identification and market space (based on an industry partner’s protocol); and mentoring and guiding student teams through the senior design capstone course and a translational course following senior design. To promote biomedical/bioengineering, Marcia works with Women in Engineering to offer outreach activities and is engaged at the national level as Executive Director of the biomedical

Technology had on theparticipants’ career paths. Over the nine years, there have been 131 undergraduate students whoparticipated. Ninety nine (76%) of these students were supported via funding from the NationalScience Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program. The other 32 (24%)were supported through institutional funds. More than half of the students (56.5%) were female,26.7% of the students were from underrepresented groups, and 52.7% students without previousresearch experience. The undergraduate research program understudy is a 10-week engineeringresearch project working in research laboratories at the University or a collaborating MedicalSchool. A tiered mentoring structure was developed within the participating laboratories

The cornerstone of the program isa summer residency course, Biomedical Engineering Practice and Innovation (“BEPI”).BEPI was designed to build upon foundational coursework by providing experiential learningopportunities in all program focus areas: Imaging, Instrumentation, and Translational TissueEngineering. BEPI combines seven weeks of online coursework with two three-day weekends inresidency at the main campus and hospital in Baltimore, for a total of twelve sessions taught bymultiple engineering and clinical faculty, each experts in their respective fields.

designexperiences. Starting in their freshman year, the students participate in a program called the Artof Engineering. The course is designed to help students transition from a science-oriented highschool way of thinking to an engineering point of view. In particular, students that participate inthe BME section in this course are introduced to and charged with utilizing the engineeringdesign process to solve open-ended problems. Following this course, opportunities for exploringdesign can be found both within BME laboratory courses and in the parallel lecture courses. Theculmination of the laboratory sequence and the design experiences introduced throughout earliercourses is the required senior “capstone” design course, which includes a significant

As campers completed activities, specialemphasis was placed upon the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and “thinking outside thebox”. As in an actual research laboratory, campers would arrive at the lab and continue studies oractivities from the previous day, it should be noted that the complexity and difficulty of themodules increases as the week progresses. Other activities included informal mentoring with thecounselors to discuss preparing for post-secondary education. On the last day of the camp,content and satisfaction post-assessment, as well as a focus group with the undergraduatecounselors were held. Lastly, campers

. 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
