development and deployment of a new, integrative, first-yearbiomedical engineering curriculum focused on studio-based learning of engineering design.Developed by an interdisciplinary team of faculty and staff, this curriculum is team-taught(meaning, multiple faculty are in the studio at all times) by biomedical engineers, mechanicalengineers who specialize in design, a professor of English, a computer scientist, and amathematician. The foundation of the curriculum is the engineering design studio, which meetsfour hours per day, four days per week. The design studio has a different general theme for eachacademic quarter – for example, the Fall quarter theme is ‘Play for All,’ focusing on children’splay environments, toys, and games that are

. Moreover, students mustalso be cognizant of the clinical perspective, both of the medical staff and the patient. This requiresstudents to bridge multiple disciplines with different pedagogical frameworks. In addition to thesechallenges, medical technology and knowledge is constantly and rapidly evolving, causing some contentto become obsolete before graduation. Therefore, it is imperative that BME students develop knowledgeacquisition, integrative thinking, and problem-solving skills in order to prepare for and adapt to thebreadth and pace of the field.Drawing inspiration from medical education, problem-based learning (PBL) has emerged as an effectivestrategy for mitigating these challenges in BME education [1-3]. PBL focuses on student

senior design courses, which is due inpart to ABET prescribed use of engineering standards in a culminating design experience [4].The use of engineering standards in senior design courses is vital; however, research supportsthat in order to attain a high degree of competence, learners must develop skills, integrate them,and know how to apply them, requiring repeated exposure and practice [5]. Integratingengineering standards throughout the curriculum can strengthen students’ understanding of whatstandards are and how to apply them effectively in senior design [1] and their careers.BackgroundIn 2014, an ABET review identified a weakness in the use of engineering standards in our BMEprogram. As a first step, the use of engineering standards became

, consistent student teams or groups as implemented here, may contribute tothe social integration of first-year students. However, this is dependent on the formation ofeffective student teams which may involve more thought on the part of the instructor. There are limitations of the active learning implementation method and this assessmentstudy that should be noted. Specifically, the addition of in-class collaborative learning activitieswithout any out-of-class videos to offset instructional content necessitated a slight reduction inthe level of detail covered during lectures. Due to the structure of the curriculum in the School ofBiomedical Engineering, this reduction is not expected to have any effect on future studentsuccess in the program
