student assessment. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Work In Progress: Factors Influencing Career Choice and Success in Undergraduate Biomedical Engineering StudentsIntroductionThe field of biomedical engineering (BME) has witnessed significant growth in recent years,driven by advances in technology and a growing emphasis on healthcare innovation. This growthhas led to a large range of post-graduation career paths for BME undergraduates includingmedical and professional school, graduate school, and direct employment as engineers in themedtech, biotech, and healthcare industries [1]. Much of the literature on career choice andmotivations of these students focuses on their plans at

A scoping review found nine papers that examined how BME undergraduate coursesaddressed HD. The review revealed that the incorporation of HD often happens in a single courseas opposed to multiple courses across the four-year curriculum. While two papers focused onincorporating HD throughout the four-year curriculum [9], [17] and one described a global healthdisparities minor [16], the remaining six papers focused on individual courses at different stagesof the curriculum (first year [10], [15], middle years [12]-[15] and last year [11], [15]).Additionally, approaches to incorporating HD vary. Some studies introduced HD topics asadditional modules in a course [10], [11], [15] whereas some studies incorporated HD topics inlesson plans and

Previously, the course was taught with lecture-based materials relying onnote-taking and individual homework traditionally. Under the new design, students will receive adetailed content structure at the beginning of the semester, shown in Appendix, Figure 1.Students will obtain a general view of the course content, types of assignments/exams, and theirdue times from this plan

without changes in outcome. A self-evaluation can be an obstacle for many students[4].Allowing students to make errors and then reflect on why these occurred has been shown topositively impact learning [5]. By articulating the “whys” and “hows” of errors and finding gapsin thought processes and/or incorrect learnings, students can refine their understanding of coursecontent. In this work-in-progress study, we hypothesize that the use of metacognitive tools suchas exam error classification and progress planning in a sophomore level core curriculumphysiology course will lead to more deep/strategic learning and engagement (as opposed tosuperficial/apathetic learning engagement). Furthermore, the evolution of perceived studentstrengths and weaknesses

Metacognition is conceptualized intwo interrelated domains: (1) metacognitive knowledge, which encompasses declarative,procedural, and conditional knowledge, and (2) metacognitive regulation, which involves theprocesses of planning, monitoring, and evaluating one’s cognitive

The one-on-one feedbackwas either given by the instructor of record or the graduate teaching assistant who had both ascience and technical writing background. The students then rewrote and submitted a finalversion of the section. This process was repeated for each scientific section covered by thecourse. Each course taken by Group A (FA22, SP23) covered different writing sections(Biomechanics: Methods, Results, Graphs, Tables, and Discussion; Biomaterials: Abstracts,Introductions, Hypothesis Formulation, and References).

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

Since their only previous experience was in a classroom setting,they would show up to a meeting with the mentor and expect the mentor to teach them theknowledge they need like a professor with a lesson plan. To combat this, the application wasupdated to include questions about what the student wanted to get out of the year-longexperience and what questions they planned to ask their mentor so that they are thinking of thesetopics ahead of time.

Once input has been received and any finaladjustments to the objectives and rubrics have been made, the UPC will develop proposals forcurriculum changes.

Using coding and modeling as a tool also exposes students to awider range of applications for computer programming and provides them with opportunities toapply computational thinking to real-world applications. We plan to continue innovating ourcourse and move towards more accessible tools, such as Jupyter Notebooks, CVSim [8], andCircAdapt [9], as platforms for enhanced learning of cardiovascular function in BME curricula.
