, 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

crosslistedas a multidisciplinary course in the School of Arts, Science, and Engineering at the University ofRochester instructs on how to interface sensors and actuators with microcontrollers in order to makemeasurements and control objects in the real world.While learning objectives for this course center around teaching students to properly interfacemicrocontrollers with sensors and actuators, the course was designed with a number of meta-objectivesin mind. 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

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
