This survey was deemed “exempt” by Temple University’s IRB committee.Survey results were compared with data from recent engineering upperclassmen before and after theirsenior capstone courses [3] and experienced entrepreneurs [2] to determine if our program revisions areinfluencing the development of all EEI in our bioengineering program. Cardon et al. reported a singlequestion for each identity with her experienced entrepreneurs. We used the same questions in ourcomparisons (Figure 1).

were required to take a capstone design course in theconsecutive semester. Some students worked on the same project continuously from ENGR4520to ENGR4950 for development of final design and prototyping.MethodsThe ENGR4520 course consisted of lectures, student presentations, labs, documents and a majorteam project that led to final design. The main goal of the team project was to expose students tothe design and engineering challenges in the application of biomedical engineering. Thesechallenges were complex and multidisciplinary by nature, and students were required tounderstand specific medical/biological issues relevant to their projects. In class, students weredivided into groups (4-5 students per group) and selected their own project from
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

Division’s call for papers evenincluded “design projects outside of the 1st year and senior capstone courses” as an “emergingtopic of particular interest”. The BME design sequence at the institution studied includes threedesign-related courses in addition to the Introduction to Engineering and senior design courses.The second course in this design sequence is the undergraduate laboratory course, but the design-related task was not introduced in detail until after collection of student definitions. Since thisstudent population was the furthest removed from a design-related course assignment, it followsthat they would have the lowest frequency of design-related phrases in their definition of BME(12%).

dramatically, 96% were aware of the benefit of interdisciplinary capstone projects, butonly 56% incorporated them in engineering classes[9]. If educators are aware of superior teachingpractices, supported by experimental evidence, why are these practices not standard in engineeringprograms?In an additional survey by Besterfield-Sacre et al. faculty, department chairs, and deans wereindependently surveyed and asked in open-ended fashion to identify opportunities for facultyprofessional development and rewards, to improve the incorporation rate of identified student-centered instructional practices [10]. The researchers then grouped the responses into the formatof the Four Categories of Change Strategies model [18]. Interestingly, numerous responses
