, Signals and Measurements with the PCB project. Overall, it helps with better understanding the design process as other skills like soldering, solidworks, and machining. 3. I learned a lot about the design process, which I feel will help me a lot in my career. 4. This is a class that really helped me connect the elements of design we learned last year with concepts of circuits and systems. 5. I feel like I have a good understanding of the FDA design controls process and can apply it to real world situations. 6. I think it was nice that this class matched up with what we were learning in Circuits, Signals and Measurements. 7. A strength of this course was being able to apply the design process to the PCB Project

comfortable workenvironment with lowered barriers to engagement in a large lecture course. However, lowattendance rates amongst students at office hours suggests that the increased anxiety around thecourse likely increased cognitive barriers to help-seeking and threshold to office hoursattendance despite high academic need. Combined with the observation that reasons that studentsin the study reported attending office hours and barriers to office hours are consistent withliterature, we posit that ideas about office hours are solidified early in students’ college careersand that these beliefs may affect students’ likelihood of accepting new strategies implemented incourses taken later in their college careers. Future work will focus on better

engineering is what makes it smore difficult to understand.” As shown in the qualitative data, students mostly emphasized concern that it is not thecontent that is complex; instead, it is the amount of content relayed in the course and the limitedopportunities to engage in dialogue. The response from this survey further demonstrates thatthere is difficulty in translating academic concepts into practical problem-solving approachesrelevant to the complex challenges they may encounter in their future engineering careers if thereis not ample opportunity to apply and discuss conceptual knowledge. These insights provided bythe student comments highlight students’ perceived need to receive additional opportunities tocritically analyze the

When evaluating time inputrequired versus perceived long-termimpact students responded that pre-recorded presentations requiredsignificantly more time (Fig. 4B,p<0.05) to complete but that in-personpresentations were significantly morevaluable for career preparation (Fig. 4C, Figure 4.

skills that would properly equip graduate TAs for success in theclassroom and their future careers. The course filled an urgent need in the Bioengineeringgraduate curriculum while the design and content of this course empowered participants toachieve the course learning objectives. Through this course, participants developed an increasedmastery of pedagogical theory and practices, including active learning, inclusive teaching, andmore. Further, through the final project, participants solidified their knowledge by applyingcourse content to their own areas of interest. In the future, we plan to evaluate both the efficacy of the course and the longer-term impacts ofcourse participants as graduate TAs within the broader bioengineering community. We

Using this instrument periodically throughout the durationof special courses and programs may provide a general evaluation of how effective a particularimmersion program is.LimitationsAs both a survey and a cross-sectional study, our study serves to provide a snapshot of a singletime point in participants’ careers.

Notably, its effectiveness in avariety of settings and compatibility with various classes and question types has not been studied.A larger-scale, diverse rollout of the method with relevant control data would be necessary tounderstand how its utility varies between application settings. Longitudinal monitoring ofdetection rates also may be merited, as students may adjust their behavior over time to simplyavoid the appearance of cheating to

Forgraduate students, most took it as it was related to their current research topics. When comparingthe methodology of this course with others taken, most students compared it with Senior Designor Capstone design courses.
