- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate. Toprovide a low-cost and scalable approach to

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Development of a training program for undergraduate students participating in an immersive bioinformatics summer research internship The publication of the first human genome in 2001 transformed biomedical research[1,2]. Since then, an explosion of new sequencing technologies has required engineers andcomputer scientists to invent computational methods to analyze and interpret the ever-growingdata. Now, large-scale biological data encompasses many types of ‘omics’ datasets, includinggenomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes, and each of these new datasets hascreated a new set of analytical

our engineering curriculum[9], it is evident that team-based activities and prototyping geared toward solving these problemscan result in increased inclusion of students with disabilities. These solutions can have adramatic impact on the ability of people with disabilities to complete coursework and engage incourse-based ADL independently. Incorporation of guest lecturers including therapists,rehabilitation engineers, and people using assistive technology (known as “need-knowers”during the course) in conjunction with design thinking and rapid prototype fabrication led toremoval of two barriers to success identified by students with disabilities. The purpose of thispaper is to discuss results from two semesters of a new elective engineering

Additionally, those who are consideredunderrepresented ethnic minorities (URMs) in engineering account for 23% of the total U.S. population, but onlycomprise of 6% of the engineering workforce [6]. These discrepancies are compounded when an individualbelongs to multiple minority groups, i.e. only 0.6% of Black and 0.4% of Hispanic women are represented in thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce [6].Of the female and URM students who do pursue engineering degrees, many prefer to enroll in certain engineeringmajors more than others.
