Furthermore, students were lectured on design topics ranging from needsidentification, development of design goals and criteria, use of Pugh and decision matrices, andthe iterative process. Several lectures also addressed the complex usability and ethical issuesassociated with designing devices for patients with disabilities.In an effort to provide students with hands-on experiences within the design process, multipleactivities were incorporated into the

respondentsaugmenting their primary textbook with additional material.Topics from Bone Mechanics, Soft Tissue Mechanics, Tissue Remodeling, and OrthopaedicBiomechanics were most highly represented among current biomechanics courses. BiofluidMechanics, Vascular Mechanics, Respiratory Mechanics, Medical Imaging & Mechanics, InjuryBiomechanics, and Biomedical Engineering Ethics were least represented. There was asignificant statistical correlation between the current research topics of the respondents and theincluded topics in their engineering biomechanics courses. In an open-response query in thesurvey, respondents identified three additional resources that would be most helpful in teachingtheir current biomechanics course: 1) a “better,” more unified

during the internship, write a finalreport on their capstone project, and deliver a final poster presentation of their capstone project.Rubrics are provided for the students so they understand the expectations for each deliverable.Upon completion of the program, students will be able to 1. Demonstrate broad technical skills 2. Think critically & solve problems 3. Discuss current research 4. Discuss the history, theory, & ethics of stem cell investigation 5. Present and communicate effectively 6. Network with professionals in the fieldInternship MatchingThe centerpiece of this program is the 9-month internship that our students embark on. As such,we worked to develop a formal procedure to facilitate the pairing process to

Throughout the second year, students will continue working on their research project,with the culmination of the second year being a summer clinical or industrial immersion relevantto the project. In addition to immersion experiences, we are planning tracks: research,entrepreneurship, professional school, and industry; while these are at early stages indevelopment, they are being developed to integrate with other campus activities.Beginning junior year, students will continue undergraduate research while being extensivelytrained in engineering design, in contrast to traditional education which focuses primarily ondesign in the senior capstone course. The coursework for this year is not

Students participating in thesummer program were supported by two different mechanisms: 1) The National ScienceFoundation (NSF) REU program (EEC-1157041, EEC-0852048, and EEC-0552896) whichprimarily supports students from off-campus. 2) Institutional funding that only supportedstudents from within the institution. All students were paired with an engineering faculty member from the host institution.Over the 10 weeks they performed an engineering research project focused on the study ortreatment of diabetes or its complications. In addition to research activities, undergraduates tookpart in ethics training, weekly seminars and a K-12 outreach activity. While the activities werethe same for students in both programs

better bandage for an application of their choice. Each groupof students defined the need/problem, designed a solution, pitched their solution to potentialinvestors, purchased materials from a supply store, tested their prototype, and demonstrated theirprototype. At the end of the activity, it was revealed that the supply store had charged each groupdifferent prices for materials to simulate different allocation of resources. The students engagedin discussion of the technical aspects of their designs as well as the financial, ethical, and societalconsiderations that must be considered when designing solutions in global health.Central Dogma of BiologyThis module introduced basic principles of genetics and the mechanisms of DNA replication
