The project allows students to developdesign skills and to explore the impact of wellness practices on human physiology. Assessmentof the curricular redesign will be measured by student evaluations of the offering and theirwillingness to engage in the mindfulness portion of the course. The COVID-19 pandemic hasemphasized the need to focus on student wellbeing in addition to physical health. Integration ofwellness into the core curriculum promotes the use of existing campus resources presented inclass and may normalize the use of these resources within engineering departments and colleges.Ultimately, the

Integratingengineering standards throughout the curriculum can strengthen students’ understanding of whatstandards are and how to apply them effectively in senior design [1] and their careers.BackgroundIn 2014, an ABET review identified a weakness in the use of engineering standards in our BMEprogram. As a first step, the use of engineering standards became

Moreover, cooperative learning has repeatedly proven to have positiveimpacts on students’ educational experience [3,5]. Cooperative learning, which can beincorporated in classes of any size, enables students to improve their social and team-workingskills. In addition, cooperative learning provides an opportunity for students to discuss theirquestions and overcome challenges within their groups without forming long lines outside theinstructor’s office during office hours.Nevertheless, for certain technical courses in engineering curriculum

highlyvalues familiarity with these topics in biomedical engineering (BME) undergraduates; there is agrowing demand for professionals who possess a combination of both technical knowledge andregulatory affairs [1]. However, it is challenging to instruct students on these inherently drytopics, particularly in the absence of practical applications.Recognizing that expertise in any of these areas is an impractical goal for undergraduatestudents, BME programs have implemented several different approaches to provide a workingknowledge of these topics to equip graduates for work in the medical device industry. Theseapproaches range from entire courses devoted to singular topics, such as medical deviceregulation [2], to lectures integrated into the capstone

To support the needs of thegrowing field, biomedical engineering (BME) curricula were established as broad andinterdisciplinary, integrating knowledge from both basic sciences and engineering disciplines.This training prepares graduates for a wide variety of careers in medicine, government, andindustry.

and Schatzberg [15] point out that definitions are fundamental to philosophy, and our philosophy, whether explicit or not, determines how we educate [16]. More practically, definitions serve as objectives, helping to determine the ultimate aims of education. Thus, definitions may provide insights into how and why engineering education is this way and not that.”As Linsenmeier states in his 2003 IEEE article on biomedical engineering [5], “in order tospecify curriculum, we need to specify the field in which we are trying to provide an education(pg. 33).” Indeed, many of the reports offering suggestions for core BME content begin with adescription of biomedical engineering and how it is distinct from [5], [6], or

There are limitations of the active learning implementation method and this assessmentstudy that should be noted. Specifically, the addition of in-class collaborative learning activitieswithout any out-of-class videos to offset instructional content necessitated a slight reduction inthe level of detail covered during lectures.

This course, taught bythe second author, utilizes real world scenarios or “challenges” as a lens through whichbiotransport content is delivered, practiced, and assessed.From a position of curriculum development and education policy, we recognize that inquiry-based learning (IBL) (i.e. challenge based instruction, problem/project based learning) are non-standard in engineering teaching. There are a plethora of rationales provided for this low rate ofadoption, including insufficient faculty-teacher preparation to execute IBL, time constraints onprofessors in their teaching role, and necessity of direct instruction to establish
