Paper ID #22471The DMVP (Detect, Measure, Valuate, Propose) Method for Evaluating Iden-tified Needs During a Clinical and Technology Transfer Immersion ProgramMiss Hannah Lynn Cash, Clemson University Hannah Cash is pursuing her PhD in Bioengineering with a focus on Engineering and Science Education. Working with students through the engineering design process, Hannah has been encouraged to aid in outreach opportunities to bring Bioengineering and Design to younger students and teachers throughout the Upstate of South Carolina through work with the Perry Initiative and Project Lead the Way. The Perry Initiative works to
students enroll in engineering with littleunderstanding of engineering in general [4], much less the specific fields and subfields therein.Further, engineering students graduate having limited understanding of career options orcommitment to engineering careers [5].Within BME, work has been done to employ instructional strategies to improve introductorystudents’ perceptions of the skills necessary for the engineering profession, specifically withregards to technical skills, professional skills, and project management skills [6]. Similarly, workhas been done to improve introductory BME students’ awareness of broad classifications ofavailable BME job functions (e.g., research, technical sales) [7]. A gap in the BME retention andcareer-decision
Paper ID #23030Work in Progress: Dialogue Videos Foster Interaction Between HomeworkPartnersDr. Michael R. Caplan, Arizona State University Michael Caplan earned his undergraduate degrees from The University of Texas at Austin and his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Following post-doctoral research at Duke University Medical Center in Cell Biology, Michael joined the faculty of Arizona State University in 2003, and he is now an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Caplan’s research focuses on molecular cooperativity in drug targeting, bio-sensing, and cell sig- naling. Current projects
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%). The coding scheme utilized in this study
) the removal of a two week final project. 4. In addition to having “leaders” post presentations and procedures, the requirement for analysis assistance such as MATLAB code or Excel template was made formal.Year 3 Findings. As compared to Year 1, EOG notebook scores significantly increased similar toYear 2 (Table 4) while the perceived learning stands out as particularly low (Table 3). Whilethere appeared to be a dramatic decrease in the EEG lab report scores, a few very low scoresbrought the average down. As EEG became the last lab of the semester, a few students did notcomplete the report.Unfortunately only 14% of students responded to the SALG survey so comparing any onequestion is problematic but compared to the Year 1 almost all
semester, this isoptional and at their discretion. However, some of the projects have undergone continueddevelopment through existing specialized medical design initiatives at the University’sInnovation Center. Further, some students joined these initiatives, where they may contributetheir expertise to teams including medical, engineering, business, and design faculty.Paired Pre- and Post-Program Survey Questions: To assess the effect of the program on working in interdisciplinary teams and needsidentification, students were prompted with paired pre- and post-program survey questions. Asexpected, student’s agreement with feeling confident working in an interdisciplinary teamincreased as a result of the program. Indeed, many free-response
understand a single part of thecardiovascular system, a user of the GUI can see how different parameters affect the system aswell as how to help make an unhealthy heart healthy.”B. Lessons learnedThere was tremendous work involved in developing the simulation/GUI package. In our case, ittook the undergraduate student researcher nearly two years working part-time on the project tocomplete the development. Nonetheless, it seems the efforts are being paid back given thepositive student feedback and learning outcome. Results from the direct assessment demonstratethat students were able to analyze simple problems in circulation system & hemodynamicsefficiently, and they were able to provide viable solutions to a real-world case in just one week.In
