We are particularly interested in learning how diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, affect angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in different tissues, such as skin, retina, and muscle. My research spans basic science discovery to the de- sign of therapies for regenerative medicine.

Furthermore, the design experience may be patient-oriented with studentsinteracting directly with patients [10].One very common aspect of biomedical engineering senior design experiences is the requirementthat students summarize the physiology and anatomy relevant to the specific clinical problem ofinterest. While this background research effort gives the students a baseline knowledge topropose potential design solutions, the students rarely understand the entire disease pathwayleading from the patient in a healthy state to the current diseased

But moreover, we believed that senior-level students who have hadrepeated exposure to journal and conference articles have already acquired a degree of practicalexpertise in our disciplinary discourse; near the conclusion of their college education, we didn’tbelieve it appropriate or warranted to teach them writing skills from scratch. Rather, we felt thata better pedagogical approach was to help students discover and marshal their own expertise andthat of their peers. In this way we might scaffold students’ metacognitive use of their ownexperiences as readers, as

Second, teaching is not something that should be learned. Theyconsider time spent on teaching development to be detrimental to one’s productivity and futureprospects for jobs and funding.

Over the years, universities have adopted the capstone Senior Design project inorder to provide students the opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test in real-worldprojects. However, educators agree that obtaining competency in engineering design requireshours of hands-on practice beyond the time and scope of a university course. As a result, we arepilot testing a series of supplementary active-learning
