InstructorFuture Directions Enhancing the MCTE track at Duke University will provide more BME students with thecurricular excellence and scaffolding to succeed in upper-level advanced electives and futurecareers in the biotechnology sector. We will equip our BME undergraduates with the technical andconceptual expertise to foster an engineering perspective to the world-class multidisciplinaryMCTE field. Our plans emphasize

An example of a case study is shown in Appendix B [24]. Supplementing instructor-led lectures, the course welcomed 4 guest speakers who presented about their respectiveacademic/career work (Appendix Table 3). These guest lectures facilitated student networkingwith professionals and exposure to diverse neuroengineering career paths.Assignments and Final Project: To pass this course, students were expected to attend class,complete required assignments, and deliver a final presentation (see Appendix Table 4 fordetails). For this presentation, the class was divided into 4 groups of 5 students

This allowsstudents to improve hands-on skills and encourage engagement with the material. During theengineering design process, students worked in a group to solve the design problem, usingscientific and technical information, students designed a product prototype and shared theprototype design[13].MethodsLearning Objectives Class engineering design projects like those we implemented in this study may help fulfillmany student outcome analyses related to ABET accreditation needs. For instance, ABET outcomenumber 5 was fulfilled during

Co-leadership allows for a level of flexibility as well as division of labor, both of which could positivelyimpact mental health, collective team skillsets, and skill development. One co-leader asserts the efficacyof co-leadership on team outcomes based on “the quality of what we were able to produce, just becausewe had two people behind it rather than the typical [singular leader].” Preliminary data consistentlyshows that co-leaders feel confident in the quality of their work due to the increased bandwidth madepossible by co-leadership.One co-leader focused on the “technical side” of the project while his counterpart focused on the “bigpicture, business plan” side of the project
, whichallowed us to remove or redistribute the aforementioned didactics and paired assessments fromthe class. With this revision to SD, we more aggressively pursued the remainder of the designprocess. Namely, the prototyping phase of SD, which was historically in the second semester ofthe sequence, was accelerated into the first. This allowed, for the first time in our program,elevated prototype fidelity along with the inclusion of both verification and validation during thesecond semester of the SD sequence. Notably, solicitation of non-CIP projects was also updatedso all SD projects started at the same point in our design process. We also planned for the IMEDstudents from CIP to serve as clinical liaisons for teams working on projects from CIP
aligned with the high expectations that the students expressed for each question inthe post-course survey. The questions in the educational experience category gauged students'understanding of product development, implementation, viability and scalability. Many of thestudents commented on learning about the financial and business models for productdevelopment as an important component of the course, indicating the usefulness of thiscomponent in helping students better develop low-cost sustainable solutions with potential forbroad impact across diverse populations. In the future, we plan on engaging with non-governmental organizations like ‘Physicians for Peace’ to provide valuable insights andperspectives on real-world challenges that are

This approach engages medicine, engineering, and business in a curriculum thatchallenges participants to identify (needs finding and screening), invent (concept generation andscreening), and implement (strategy development and business planning) [10].

Additionally,SDL has been used to develop personal and professional competencies and to encourage studentsto reframe their own experiences both retrospectively and prospectively [10, 11]. It can also allowindividuals to articulate their plans and assist in capturing the needs of others.Within our institution, we infused SDL into a required, non-traditional undergraduate course inthe biomedical engineering (BME) department called “The Art of Telling Your Story” [12].Whereas other works have considered how SDL could help students define their identity and theirself-concept [4, 10, 12], our research extends the prior knowledge to

SequenceIntroductionBiomedical engineering as a discipline is a diverse field; yet a central tenant is problem solvingskills leveraging a strong foundation in mathematics, engineering, and biology to create newsolutions to existing challenges in human health [1]. Problem solving skills are developedthrough a series of courses that teach the foundational knowledge while developing engineering“Habits of Mind” [2], which are defined as modes of thinking in which STEM students developstrategies to transfer their existing knowledge to new contexts. The breadth of biomedicalengineering demands nimble, systematic problem-solving strategies, a core component ofEngineering “Habits of Mind.”Here, we present a plan using a fading scaffold between five core interconnected

the learningobjectives. In this space, it becomes much easier to adapt lesson plans and lower the barrier ofentry for students who may feel scared by the material. Furthermore, there are many advantagesto implementing application-based learning within concepts in Electrical Engineering andBioengineering curricula [18, 2]. Creatively implementing these strategies allows students to“play within the sandbox” and test limits in a controlled environment that is safe to fail in, in amanner that will build greater engagement within the course material. These games may alsoassist with retention as they reinforce and supplement material that is already covered in thelectures, while giving students the opportunity to fortify those foundations [19, 20

While Hud’s primary research focus is on nanocomposite biomaterials for orthopedic applications, engineering education prevails as another area of interest. Hud plans to pursue higher education by utilizing his engineering
to support meaningfullearning for students. This idea means that activities should be structured so that group membersare interdependent and work together to achieve the learning objectives.High-stakes assessments such as midterm and final tests are commonly used to evaluate retentionand recall in biomedical engineering courses. In courses such as physiology, such assessmentsare professionally authentic for pre-health or pre-professional students planning to take theMCAT and/or licensure exams. In large format courses, grading time can be reduced by usingelectronic platforms to automate test administration and scoring. For students, these assessmentsoften induce test anxiety that negatively impacts their learning [6].Collaborative testing

Additionally, for every module, regardless of finalpresentation mode, students gave a short in-person preliminary presentation describingtheir plans for their project before beginning working on the actual code. In the shortanswer, one student noted that they preferred to have the final presentation be pre-recorded and the preliminary presentation be in-person in order to practice presentationskills for both but being able to pay better attention to other groups’ final presentations inclass rather than practicing their own before delivering it.Conclusions and Future Directions In conclusion, students indicated a strong preference for in-person presentationsover pre-recorded
