and the changes they made due to peer review.The novelty of our specific approach to peer review lies in the combination of three qualities: 1) The degree of student contribution to setting standards for both effective writing and effective critique. This gives students ownership and a stake in these standards, as well as providing scaffolding for critical thought about formal and casual professional communication. 2) The degree of scaffolding for student critique. A criticism of peer review is that student reviewers can be unconstructive. Our approach includes a structure to help students stay focused and provide helpful critiques. 3) The degree of reflection required of students toward learning, retaining, and

module. The students are required to write a short reflection covering thefollowing three questions: What are the main points?, How is the material useful to you?, Whatmore information do you think should be included?.LaboratoryThe three-hour laboratory each week developes a diversity of hands-on skills covering the basicsof each discipline and associates the lecture and laboratory exercises toward the guided designproject, a physical prototype of a medical research device. Laboratory topics were developedthrough interactions with and input from our student advisory committee (BSAC), studentsurveys, industry including co-op and employer surveys and the external advisory board. Theskills that were utilized most frequently by students in their

Studentsreported improved conceptual understanding, teamwork abilities, and peer/self-assessment skills(Glassey and Novakovic, 2013).Researchers Grant and Dickson (2006), on the other hand, looked at personal skill developmentin graduates to meet employer requirements through two surveys. Their findings were thatchemical engineering graduates and their employers did not see entry-level engineers as meetingworkforce requirements in transferable skills, but did have more than sufficient chemicalengineering principles knowledge and subject-specific skill development. Grant and Dicksonwent on to suggest helping students develop transferable

designedaround the problem of designing and evaluating a simplified hip prosthetic implant (AppendixA). Specific learning objectives that students should be able to accomplish while implementingthe activity were as follows: Use solid mechanics equations to calculate strain and deformations resulting from beam bending and torsion Identify appropriate situations in which beam bending, torsion, and strain mechanics equations can be applied Design and evaluate a simplified hip implant that can withstand in vivo forces Write a report that communicates the findings of the hip implant model Sketch free body diagrams that illustrate the forces and moments acting on a solid body Explain the applicability of solid

(Dym et al. 2005). At the start of the semester, students self-assemble into teams of 4-5,and each team chooses a lower-income country to explore. Over 14 weeks, teams use their chosencountry as a starting point to work through a cycle of biomedical device design, including broadscoping and needs assessment, problem definition, concept generation and iteration, CADprototyping, and design iteration based on peer, student instructor, and faculty feedback (see Table1). They also examine case studies of (successful and unsuccessful) biomedical device design,learn about healthcare innovation systems, and reflect on key challenges and best practices forbiomedical engineering design.Over 3 consecutive semesters, our students have developed a variety

The final oral deliverables, with non-engineering peers of the students again inattendance, were given over two classes at the end of the semester.Wrap-up ProjectWith the final major project concluded, the students were asked to conduct one more project forthe class. In looping back to the first day when the students broke into small groups and playedvarious versions of The Game of Life, student teams were challenged to purchase a commonboard game of their choice and convert that game into a health care related game. The gamecould have opportunities for decisions, chance occurrences, various patient outcomes, diseaseidentification, etc. While this
