Paper ID #38280Work in Progress: Can In-Class Peer Reviews of Written AssignmentsImprove Problem Solving and Scientific Writing in a Standard-Based,Sophomore Laboratory Course?Dr. Casey Jane Ankeny, Northwestern University Casey J. Ankeny, PhD is an Associate Professor of Instruction at Northwestern University. Casey received her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia and her doctorate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University where she studied the role of shear stress in aortic valve disease. Currently, she is investigating equitable

enroll in the same required Physiology course, which includeslabs with multiple full scientific writing deliverables, in the Fall 2023 (FA23) semester. NorthCarolina State University’s Institutional Review Board has reviewed and approved theprocedures of this study.The technical writing modules focus on one report section at a time, allowing students to usefeedback to rewrite that section multiple times. For example, when learning about each section ofa scientific report (e.g., Methods), students were provided a handout describing conventions ofthe genre and appropriate writing style. With this information, they wrote an initial draft that wasanonymously reviewed by two peers. After using this feedback to make improvements, studentssubmitted a

they care about, the people they are designing for. Through stories, engineers identify the problems that need solving, helping ensure their work truly makes a difference. And through stories, engineers inspire others to join their efforts, helping them write a new and better story for the future. So, it is a leadership skill. And one more thing: by learning to tell your stories, you learn more about yourself. In this course, you will learn to tell your stories in a variety of ways for different audiences.As part of the framing of the course, the instructors seek to “create a safe environment wheresharing freely is supported and respected.” The learning objectives for the course include thoseshown below: 1

) apply mass and energyconservation laws; 2) perform kinetic analysis of reactions; 3) work collaboratively on a team todevelop and solve mathematical models; and 4) develop technical writing and oral presentationskills. The course uses a blend of lecture, in-class and homework problems, and open-endedPBL modules.PBL is based on a constructivist pedagogy, requiring students to work together to createsolutions to complex, open-ended challenges. Since BME 260 focuses on modeling, PBLchallenges were structured to engage teams to develop multi-compartment conceptual models.Teams also developed novel mass accounting and kinetic equations for important chemicalconstituents in their biological system, searched the peer-reviewed literature for

todemonstrate alignment between design inputs and outputs. The device consisted of anelectromechanical suction mechanism paired with flexible tubing to collect tear film samples.Project development was continued by two IMED students who originally helped identify theproblem in CIP. The students, through further clinical observation and testing, identifiedunintended usage of the device and were able to develop a subsequent design to better meetclinical need. A provisional patent has been filed and IRB approval for clinical data collectionand longitudinal development has been obtained.Implementation of the pipeline began in Summer of 2022 with CIP, and continued into the Fallwith the prototyping course and SD. At the time of writing, three projects from

With numerous exter- nal and internal funding sources, he is actively engaged in research involving undergraduate students in various areas, including engineered red blood cells for oxygen therapeutics development. Dr. Zhang has published more than 40 peer-reviewed journal articles, authored the book Nanotechnology for Bioengi- neers, and holds multiple patents. When it comes to engineering and chemical sciences education, he is especially interested in integrating the entrepreneurial mindset into a wide range of courses. Dr. Zhang has been recognized by the ASEE’s Prism magazine as one of 20 high-achieving researchers and educa- tors under 40 (2018), the Milwaukee Business

This helps me stimulate a different part of my brain and engage with the course material in a new view, which helps me retain the information better as this was a unique learning experience. • While the heart on its own doesn’t sound very musical, describing it as music is a good way to remember certain concepts. • Being able to listen to the sound manifestation of blood flow in the heart was really helpful and allowed me to better interpret the physiological processes we had learned in class. • I am sure that approaching the heart from this new angle will help me retain much more of the

Thomas tells you that his son gulpsthe liquid antibiotics very quickly. After some searching you find the following information: • Gut volume of average 5-year old: 100 mL • Average blood volume of 5-year old: 5.8L • Volume of Ear Canal: 1.2 mL • Rate of exchange of antibiotic from the gut to the blood: 8.75 mL/hr • Rate of exchange of antibiotic from the blood to the ear canal via capillaries: 3.15 mL/min

and breaking down professional silos and isolation in healthcare communitieshas led to the use of virtual communities of practice among other professions, such as ineducation and scientific research.Similar to healthcare professionals, education professionals have also experienced barriersassociated with professional silos and isolation. In particular, faculty at research-intensiveuniversities can hold alternative titles and roles within the institution, which can lead to differentperceptions among their faculty peers and students [7]. For instance, faculty on the tenure trackwith a higher research and lower teaching focused role will have the title “Professor”, whereasthose who have a more teaching focused role can be given the title
