single coursemodule. The puzzle(s) within each room were specifically designed to align with the studentlearning outcomes of each module and to test a broad range of concepts within each imagingmodality. After reviewing the game rules and starting the countdown timer, the students chose aroom from a drop-down menu. An image of the “room” was then displayed within the MATLABGUI. As is customary in escape rooms, students had to identify both the question being askedand the answer to that question in order to determine the “secret code” (consisting of three lettersor numbers) required to escape the room. When the students solved the final room puzzle, theprogram immediately stopped and computed the time it took each team to escape. Two hints anda

To further guide students through the design process, team-basedactivities related to workshop topic(s), readings, and case studies were assigned for individualteam discussions.Program Deliverables and Surveys: By the conclusion of the CIP, teams were expected to generate a single, succinct problemstatement based on their primary research in a clinical environment. Moreover, new to thisprogram year, students were taught the basics of concept exploration and were expected to applythis knowledge to their identified problem. Three deliverables were generated by the programparticipants: individual blog entries, a written team report, and team presentation.

The rise in student outreach clubs, study abroad, service learning andcommunity based learning all demonstrate that students are more attune to social justiceissues. In fact, biomedical engineering programs have been early adopters of includingvalue thinking, most especially through Devices for the Disabled (Enderle, 1999),Engineering World Health (www.ewh.org), e-NABLE (enablingthefuture.org), and theproliferation of programs that specifically consider design for the developing world.Strategic Thinking and Design ChallengesStrategic Thinking was born out of the business literature.

most interesting research direction to followknowing the material that was taught in the previous lecture. The next question consisted ininvestigating the feasibility or the implementation of the research ideas the groups came up with;and the next question would go in a more in-depth analysis of the economical or societal pay-offof that research. For instance, the questions that were asked during the “Reproducing macroscalebonds at the nanoscale” were: 1. What are the different mechanisms that are used at the macroscale to create a bond? Name and describe as many of them as you can. 2. What are some nanoscale bonding mechanisms? To what macroscale mechanism(s) are they similar? 3. If you had to reproduce a macroscale

To see the value of combining SBG and reflection the coursewould need to allow for multiple assessments of each learning objective; students need theopportunity to identify learning objectives in which they are weak, make a plan to improve, timeto execute that plan, and ultimately see if they have improved upon or mastered that learningobjective as the course progresses.References[1] S.

of degrees compared to the number ofindustry jobs (i.e., involving the design, manufacturing, regulation, and sale of products andservices in the biomedical sector) available for biomedical engineers in the 1970’s and 1980’s[9]. However, as more programs have developed and the number of graduates has increased, theratio of graduates to the number of industry job openings has become less promising [6]. Further,research on student job placement shows that the history of BME program development asintentionally broad and unique to each institution’s faculty strengths [9], may have had anegative impact on industry’s perceptions of BME graduates, limiting BME student industrycareer placement upon graduation [5], [9], [11], [12].

leadership skills. An important finding of this study was theeffect self-selection into co-curriculars like undergraduate research can have on studies usingself-report measures of student outcomes as a comparison tool. The study found that studentswho engaged in undergraduate research tended to report higher skills, but when accounting forboth curricular and classroom experiences, few differences were seen between students who didor did not participate. This and similar work have contributed to knowledge about “what types”of engagement in co-curricular experiences are most significant for engineering students. UntilFisher et al.’s recent work, however, a thorough review of the potential relationships betweenspecific co-curricular opportunities and

As previously stated, the newly declared and senior design students’ responses to theadditional open-ended questions were not analyzed directly; instead, these responses providedcontext for discussion of the associated student population definition of BME.Table 2.
