EngineeringCapstone Design Project Dr. Alexis Ortiz-Rosario1 1Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus OH, USA AbstractThe traditional idea of capstone teams is assigning a project to a group of students which willbe tackled throughout an academic term. The team can comprise students from a single majoror multi-disciplinary (e.g., multiple majors). The project can span one or two semesters; in someexceptions, new teams are tasked with further project phases for the following years [1]. Thiswork aims to present a novel approach to structuring capstone teams. By deconstructing asingle project into multi-deliverable components (e.g., heart rate

several levels of design across different programs. This includes Capstone in theBachelors (BS) program, Professional Capstone in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program,and the Capstone Projects course in the College of Medicine. Having multiple disconnected levelsof design presents numerous challenges, such as sourcing projects, structuring the scope ofprojects, and sharing resources both physical and personnel related. As a result, we elected todevelop a shared resource model for projects across these programs to meet the needs of eachprogram and to enhance the learning experience and professional preparation for students. In thisnew model, medical students develop projects based on needs identified during clinical rotations.Medical students

In addition to the capstone senior design courseofferings, Biomedical Engineering programs increasingly incorporate standalone engineeringdesign courses into the curriculum as early as freshman year. These promising attempts emphasizethe importance of reinforcing engineering design practices. However, it is still a challenge toaccommodate engineering design projects into field-specific courses

Students defined design requirements, generated evolutionarysolutions through multiple iterations, and demonstrated the utility of scientific literature byapplying knowledge to enhance their designs. This approach facilitated a deeper exploration ofbiomedical technology, involving critical analysis and improvement of materials, methods, andmanufacturing techniques.Seventeen students participated in the project, divided into six groups, each assigned specifictopics related to wearable and implanted technologies. Over 14 weeks, students followed astructured process, making presentations associated with three design iterations, showcasing theirprogress, and receiving feedback from a teaching team consisting of the

. The first aim of this pipeline is to enhance senior design (SD) projectpreparedness by 1) introducing a new physical prototyping course to develop and practiceessential fabrications skills, and 2) revising CIP to better validate needs for the new pipeline’slongitudinal process. The second aim is to leverage interdisciplinary collaboration to enhancemedtech device design by 1) using CIP as a catalyst to identify and validate needs for use as SDprojects and 2) continuing longitudinal development beyond SD with medical student innovatorsfrom our four-year cocurricular Innovation Medicine (IMED) program for medical students.Transitioning projects from CIP to SD, by students with training in prototyping, and then tomedical capstone has substantial

However, severalparameters can greatly affect the production quality of fibers, such as concentration of the polymersolution, voltage, feed rate, and ambient conditions [3]. Controlling the manufacturing ofelectrospun fibers presented a unique engineering problem that could integrate concepts frommultiple bioengineering courses including biomechanics, circuits, computer aided design (CAD),thermodynamics, and biomaterials into a single engineering design project with real-worldapplications. This project served as the basis for a new junior-level design course that will betterprepare students for their senior capstone

To instruct design abilities in undergraduate engineering students, it iscommon for programs to engage in problem-based learning projects. In addition, project-based instructionis often done with students in teams and these teams have formal or informal leadership structures. In thiscontext, the success of the student project is usually attributed to the mindset of the leader, managementstyles, team dynamics that are cultivated by the leader, as well as a clear team structure and goals. Thisvertically operating leadership model is manifested as an

Continuation of projects through this pipeline defines a potential for longitudinal innovativedesign work across disciplines, addressing several of the challenges that are present in thecurrent process. Thus, the selection of an appropriate project in CIP for longitudinaldevelopment is paramount. The purpose of this report is to describe the structure of the revisedCIP, to assess its efficacy by student self-perception, and to reflect on its potential for supportinglongitudinal development. Specifically, to assess the efficacy of the revised CIP, we tested thehypothesis that participation in CIP would increase student’s confidence

Harding and McPherson suggested that over 80 percent ofemployers desire an applicant pool of engineers with fundamental knowledge of finding,applying, and developing standards [2].Our study design is functionally an approach to apply principles of Bloom’s Taxonomy to theeducation of consensus standards. All current standards curricula at the UIC, and most of thatidentified in biomedical engineering education literature [3, 4, 5] focuses on recognition andunderstanding (i.e., the lowest levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy). Capstone design courses mayrequire the incorporation of standards during the design process or verification testing butapproach and standard rigor can be widely varied. Recognition of appropriate standards is quitevaluable for engineers

the engineering profession, cultivating an innovative spirit from an early age can be aformidable task. Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a program dedicated to transformative STEMteaching for K-12 students, focuses on skills relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship such asproblem-solving and critical thinking. The PLTW program, however, has a limited focus on thehumanities which is presumed to turn women and minoritized populations away from STEM [2].In university-level engineering programs, with the heavy technical curricular demands, inclusionof coursework dedicated to innovation and creativity may not always be perceived as logisticallypossible.

Work in Progress: Development of a Medical Devices Course for Sophomore Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate StudentsIntroductionThe biomedical engineering (BME) workforce requires competency in professional and technicalskills. BMEs often use knowledge in design, administration and management, and customerneeds assessment [1]. Typical work activities of a BME include analyzing data or information,organizing and planning work, determining compliance with standards, building teams, anddrafting and specifying technical device parts [1]. The undergraduate BME capstone designcourse is often used as a “catchall” to develop these critical professional skills; however, to buildcompetency, it is recommended that these skills be practiced

These studies explore curricular EMinterventions designed to encourage development of EM skills such as curiosity about the coursetopics [22], reflective thinking [16], and designing for a certain customer base [17], [42]. In Kinget al.'s study [40], BME students participated in capstone design projects where they worked inteams to design prototypes based on existing patent applications of industry professionals. Thesestudents were able to learn about the engineering design process as well as the business side ofintellectual property development such as patents, customer discovery, budgeting, andcommunication of results [40].In several studies on EM development within a BME context
