importance ofproviding undergraduate students open-ended, loosely defined projects, and allowing projectteams to assume responsibility for design and innovation.2. INTRODUCTIONEngineers, clinicians and patients often struggle to find balance between innovative technologyand the human side of medical care. Graduate level educational programs dedicated to teachingbiomedical innovation have seen significant growth in the last decade [1-7]. In addition, the fieldof biomedical engineering has seen a dramatic escalation in activity over the past 20 yearsleading to innovative medical devices and procedures. Due to the multidisciplinary characteristicof the field, biomedical engineering has a diverse research impact, often serving as a bridgebuilder between

Approximately 1 out of every 5 class periods was devoted entirely to group active learning focused on reviewing, applying, or otherwise emphasizing important topics from the lectures. This approach required little modification of previously prepared lecture materials and minimized the in-class time lost to

If the assignments are ungraded or lightly graded, students can be encouraged totake risks in problem solving, especially if feedback is specific, frequent, and immediate. Suchrisk-taking and feedback may promote student self-assessment and support students to takecontrol of their learning according to their individual goals for the course. In contrast, studentswho prefer the traditional lecture-based course format may demonstrate open resistance to theblended

is a fundamental skillset that students must learn inorder to become effective innovators in the biomedical device industry. One of the initial steps inthis process, needs-finding, involves the observation of stakeholders and identification ofproblems in order to determine potential areas for innovation [1]. However, following theidentification of these needs, a filtering process is often employed, wherein external influencessuch as market dynamics, competition, and intellectual property influence the potential for thesuccessful development and commercialization of solutions in these needs area [2]. Oftentimes,these needs are inappropriately filtered for feasibility rather than potential, leaving behind someof the greatest insights for

Creativity, apseudo-cognitive construct, is likewise cited as a desirable trait among engineers. In previouswork we showed that a project-based design course rich in brainstorming activities resulted in asemester-long improvement in certain aspects of creativity compared to a course that wasrelatively poor in brainstorming activities [1]. Not all design courses, however, are equal in thedegree to which they are project-based. This led us to question whether overt training increativity could yield even greater improvements in creativity than are already gained in a skills-based design course.A

, over6,000 bachelor degrees are awarded in BME/BioE every year. Due to the broad nature of thediscipline, there is a large variability in BME curricula [1]. Despite this variability, there arecommon features that are shared within BME education. Specifically, it is common to see coretopics in materials science, mechanics, fluid mechanics, transport, thermodynamics, signals andsystems analysis, instrumentation/electronics, and imaging [2,3]. Thus, the goal with our BMEconcentration area is to expand our current integrated engineering curricular offerings to producewell-rounded engineering graduates that are exposed to these topics in a biomedical context.Our Biomedical Engineering Concentration Overview.

Introducing the emphasis areas within BME is conducted by using the Introduction toBiomedical Engineering by Enderle and Bronzino [1] as a guide. The text divides emphasis areas ofBME (Biomechanics, Biomaterials, Bioelectricity) into chapters and takes students through theseareas and supplies examples.

While recentstudies have shown positive impacts of using rubrics to measure student scientific writing skills[2-5], little has been reported regarding the cumulative impacts of a structured student writingproces.

are many variations of this cycle,design always begins with identifying user needs. However, while engineers are familiar withthe technical aspects of the engineering design cycle, they historically lack experience in needsidentification. This disconnect often results in designs which do not address the true needs ofusers [1]-[9]. Thus, it is imperative for engineers to be educated in both the technical aspects ofdesign and in needs identification. One method of identifying these needs is user-centereddesign. User-centered design (also referred to as human factors engineering or human-centereddesign) is a methodical approach to design and has been used extensively in the healthcareindustry [1]-[11].

Additionally, course evaluations for the January term version werehigher than the spring version (4.76 vs. 3.78 course mean on a 5-point Likert scale). We believethe improved results for the January term course may be due to one or more of the followingfactors: 1) the focus on specific patients—and resulting increase in empathy and motivation—rather than a more impersonal clinical observation, 2) the diversity of majors present in theJanuary term course (only half were biomedical engineering majors), and 3) the
