? Are they ableto make the connection between knowledge and curriculum in an organic way?In 2019, faculty in the Biology and Biomedical Engineering Department at Rose-Hulman Instituteof Technology (RHIT) collaborated to find answers to some of the aforementioned questions andto improve the outcomes of the biomedical engineering program. The main outcome wasimplementing an extensive curricular revision that was designed to scaffold and integrate topicsbetween courses. By threading topics between (and within) academic terms, faculty can reinforcefundamental concepts and minimize the compartmentalization that challenges many students asthey progress through an engineering curriculum [4].This paper focuses on the impact of scaffolding and

Engineering teams arecomposed of MEng student project managers and BS student engineers, working on the projectover the course of their capstone classes. Yet, the design and implementation of aninterdisciplinary curriculum can be a challenge for instructors and students alike. These challengesmay be due to differences in epistemological views, constraints of the higher education system, ora lack of frameworks that support interdisciplinary approaches. In this paper, we will share aframework for a design continuum of biomedically focused projects to provide students within ourprograms with a design experience relevant to appropriate academic, clinical, and industry rolesand functions while

manufacturing, biomechanics, and other areas.Therefore, undergraduate BME students need intensive practical training on biomedical toolsand equipment to adequately prepare them for industrial careers. It is expected that upongraduation, most students would seek opportunities in industry [1]. Laboratories offer therequired real-world experience that is reported to significantly impact students’ learningexperience when integrated into the engineering curriculum [2].However, the use of physical laboratories comes with high monetary implications forinstitutions in terms of equipment acquisition, equipment maintenance, and staffingrequirements, especially in a rapidly evolving field like BME. Despite these challenges, thereremains an increasing industrial
can result in a lack ofreinforcement in learning and poor development of communication skills. Given the challengeshighlighted above, there exists a clear need for more curricular based, college-level STEAM-integrated coursework and interventions to expose engineering students to cross-disciplinaryproblems, further inculcating innovation and creativity development within the collegeexperience.1.3 Proposed SolutionHere, in this exploratory work, we examine the effect of an entrepreneurially mindset-focused,bioinspired STEAM-based intervention in a core curriculum, mid-level bioengineering course onphysiology. By targeting students in a mid-level course, we offer an opportunity for students toapply STEAM-based experiential learning in a

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

However, it is essential to note that the “other” category includedgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers, showing that younger educators are engagingwith the community. This engagement means that these students and researchers are preparingfor teaching in their future careers. An additional and exciting note is that all faculty rankspossessed a type of administrative role (e.g., program directors, chairs, or program coordinators).This shows how the Share and Learn events can impact participants and add value to programsand curriculums through potential

Individual test scores were not different across multiplesemesters including the Control and Intervention groups, and team scores in the Interventiongroups were increased by an average of 18% relative to the individual scores. Notably, each testcontained questions that were categorized as either “retention and recall” or as “comprehension”[12]. Comprehension questions assess students’ abilities to apply and integrate concepts in waysthat are useful for engineering problem-solving approaches, consistent with the idea oftransferable skill development.
