Cohen’s d (effect size) was calculated ([3]: (µ1-µ2)/s), and average post-quiz scoreswere compared by paired t-test or repeated-measures ANOVA. Students’ self-recorded videoswere coded for the quality of their interactions as described by [1]. Two factors were varied: (1) the scaffolding (instructions) given to the students and (2)whether students watched a dialogue video or monologue video. Statistical analyses of thenumber of interactive episodes for each group are performed (by coding interactions observed inthe students’ self-recorded videos) to test the hypothesis that students watching dialogue videoshave more interactive episodes and higher learning gains than

The class wassuccessful in introducing the broad field of BME in a short summer course and motivatedstudents to consider pursuing STEM majors in college. Data on the alumni and their chosencollege are still being collected and will be presented in the final poster and conclusion.These results demonstrate that by the end of the course students were invested in the productthey had designed from scratch, had seen real world applications, and learned about the field ofBME. In the future, the course content can be adjusted to incorporate guest lecturers, visits tocompanies, and workshops that are more relevant to specific student projects.4. References[1] Zenios, S.

-Term andSpring performance in terms of quantitative performance toward meeting each of the courseobjectives. In 2016, however, only 57% of students in the spring course met all three objectives(and 5 students met only one or none of the objectives), whereas 83% of students in the J-Termcourse met all three objectives. While this result falls just short of statistical significance for athreshold of α = 0.05 (Barnard’s test p = 0.083), it suggests a pedagogical deficiency in someaspect(s) of the Spring 2016 course (see Discussion).Analysis of Student Course Evaluations and CommentsAt the end of each term, students completed anonymous course evaluations answering multiplequestions relating to the course and to the instructor. We have analyzed the
values of heart rate (slider), strength level ofleft ventricle (dropdown menu), time for simulation (slider), whether to have an assist pump(check mark), and the corresponding pump control parameters (slider). Students are also guidedin those activities to select the right hemodynamic variable(s) to display on the GUI and to makeconclusions based on the results. The scaffolding of these activities makes it natural for studentsto revisit and compare with previous test results. Students were expected to complete activity 1during the class and finish the other two activities after the class. It was brought to theinstructor’s attention that some students skipped activities 2-3 in fall 2018, likely because theywere not collected or graded. Therefore

student respondents were neutral to positive in “Video lectures helped melearn the material.” And 60% were neutral to supportive of “I was satisfied with the flippedclassroom system.”ConclusionsFrom these data and the mitigating circumstances (Covid-19) it is too early to determine throughquantitative measures with significance if a flipped classroom approach is effective in aBiomedical Electronics course. However, student viewpoints are generally favorable and supportthe continued approach. Further data analysis will occur to determine how to further improve thecourse and the outcomes therein.[1] S.
