Efforts to analyzecredit hour requirements across engineering programs have been conducted in other disciplines[5] and repeated throughout the years in BME programs to assess coverage of curriculum topicsand to assess program tracks [6]. However, while the VaNTH project, ABET, and BMESprovide guidelines on curriculum topics, no guidelines or requirements are given for laboratorycourses. Further, the costs of implementing lab courses, breadth of application areas, and varyingfaculty expertise on experimental techniques leads to a wide range of laboratory offerings acrossBME programs. A variety of BME laboratory courses, activities, assessments, and best practiceshave been described in the literature [7-12

- 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.

However, setting up these two types of experiments can lead to asignificant financial investment in the laboratory. Worst of all, it is often very challenging tosynchronize data collected from different types of experiments. Without the properlysynchronized data collected from tissue mechanical test and body motion analysis, the studentswill have difficulty understanding the causality between the biomechanics of body motion andtissue mechanics A successful example of the implementing FEA simulation in tissuebiomechanics lecture1 or the introduction of a digital image motion analysis in the lecture tocover biomechanics of body motion2 were reported in the

Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver

With these shortcomings in mind, we integrated design experiencesacross our BME curriculum and evaluated student design performance throughout.Methods: Four engineering design project assignments were developed and integrated intosophomore- and junior-level BME laboratory courses, establishing a continuous design thread inthe curriculum. Through the sequence of projects, student teams worked to design (1) fracturefixation plates, (2) electromyogram-controlled motor systems, (3) compact spectrophotometers,and (4) drug dosing devices. We also developed a common instructional Design Module andused it in each course to build student understanding of the BME design
