This approach is at odds with calls for integrative and applied learningoutcomes [2] and has the potential to reduce student learning and motivation.Pedagogical approaches such as Problem Solving Studio (PSS) and flipped course delivery havebeen previously shown to be effective at improving student learning and motivation [3]–[7]. InPSS courses, students work collaboratively to solve open-ended problems at a difficulty they areunlikely to be able to complete individually. The PSS instructor’s role is to ask open-endedquestions, help make student thinking explicit, and model questions that experts ask themselveswhile solving similar problems. The level of student support is modified in real time so studentsremain curious but not

Rasmussen’s cognitive engineeringframework [1] with concepts related to dynamic human functioning, specifically, affordance,emotion, and intuition [2].Since today’s senior design projects require students to perform a variety of tasks (i.e. designing,testing and validating a prototype), a more expansive human-environment design strategy isneeded to supplement Rasmussen’s framework [3]. The expanded design strategy involves anecological psychology approach proposed by Gibson that considers affordances and personalhuman attributes. Prior research indicates that affordances and personal human attributes,particularly emotion and intuition, are important in exercising control over the environment [3].Application of Novel Pedagogical Strategies to Senior

Forbiomedical engineering (BME), technical writing is particularly important: they need to masterboth engineering and scientific approaches to written communication across multiple formats tovarious audiences. We have previously developed evidence-based technical writing modules,tailored to BME students, and vertically integrated them throughout our core curriculum [4].These modules were developed before widespread AI availability. To develop guidelines oninstructional AI use, we first need to understand students’ 1) perception on its utility and ethicaluse and 2) prior and current use of AI

The “weak link”in development and adoption of assistive robotics is that for such assistive robots to be effective,they need to interact with, respond to, and adapt to the needs of the human/patient they assist [1].The challenge in the design of assistive robots is in selecting the right degree of realism that isrequired to make the assistant effective and accepted by the user. “Temperament” encapsulatesthis particular trait of how robots present themselves to the user [2].

Biomedical Engineering (BME), with further emphasis on health equitythroughout the design process, is well-positioned to produce medical innovations that improvehealth and address inequities. Specifically, medical innovators and educators are called to includeconsideration of health care access at all stages of design [2].

Italian architect StefanoMarzano once said “"every time we design a product we are making a statement about thedirection the world will move in" [1]. As engineering instructors, we must strive to create well-rounded engineers, who are technically sound, creative designers, with strong ethicalconvictions. Engineering education in the United States has traditionally emphasized theacquisition of technical knowledge [2]. Traditional engineering courses can often lack the hands-on training that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application, limiting engineeringstudents' ability to grasp the real-world implications of their studies [2]. To address this gap, weneed to configure engineering courses to include, in addition to technical and

Ultimately, the study advocates for incorporating pre- and post-lectureassessments in courses.
