redesigned a project in an introductory bioengineering course to explore stress managementtechniques through physiology, biosensors, and design. The project allows students to developdesign skills and to explore the impact of wellness practices on human physiology. Assessmentof the curricular redesign will be measured by student evaluations of the offering and theirwillingness to engage in the mindfulness portion of the course. The COVID-19 pandemic hasemphasized the need to focus on student wellbeing in addition to physical health. Integration ofwellness into the core curriculum promotes the use of existing campus resources presented inclass and may normalize the use of these resources within engineering departments and colleges.Ultimately, the

, requires programs to evaluate students’ “ability to applyengineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs…” (ABET EAC 2019-2020SO 2). This major design experience, typically a senior capstone project, should include theculmination of the foundational materials students learn during their course of study. ABET hasalso defined “engineering design” which includes many concepts of Design Thinking (DT). DTis a multistep process that begins with the formalization of the problem statement and movesthrough implementation of possible solutions with the needs of the end-user in mind. There areseveral ‘flavors’ of design thinking available and we have been following the 5-step designthinking process described by Plattner 2010 where the

One such goal is the desire to enhance the employability of our engineering students byproviding them with more and earlier opportunities to acquire and demonstrate technical knowledge andskills, which have been shown to be very important to engineering employers [1] Second, this initiativesought

beformulated. Often with undergraduates, and many writers in general, the most difficult anddebilitating part of a writing assignment can be taking a persuasive stance and building a paperor piece with the power to change the reader’s mind. Scaffolding can be categorized as pre-writing, the first stage of the three stage writing process, which is then followed by writing andrewriting. According to Murray, the prewriting stage can commonly take up to 85% of the totaltime spent on the assignment [4]. In addition to strengthening students’ writing, the emphasis onwriting as process also has positive impacts on content learning [4]. Using this scaffolding skillin engineering classes would provide an effective mechanism to train students to become

without the knowledge, skills, and confidence required forengineering design success. 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
