all the educational components of the course, we asked students to rate theeffectiveness of each element. Students evaluated each teaching tool related to the effectivenessof each aspect in relation to their future goals. They indicated a trend toward an effectiveresponse related to the hands-on components: design project and the laboratory sessions, with aneutral response on the video lectures/reflections as well as the lecture sessions (Figure 9).Comments from the course evaluations, however, show that video lectures had a polarizingeffect; some students said the videos were “a waste of time” or “busy work” while others saidthey “enjoyed the video lectures” and another student said “[the video lectures made me] realizethat I wanted to

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 RET program operates concurrently with theYSP, and has each classroom teachers immersed in bioengineering research with the goal ofdeveloping an educational module by the end of the experience. Eric Craven participated in theRET program in 2013 and 2014. In addition to using his module on Thin Films8 at the summerinstallment of BRAIN games, he was also able to present at the 2014 National EducatorsWorkshop. This module consisted of an introduction to thin films, followed by activities such as:Profilometer
