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

In each iteration, we sought to actively demonstrate evidence-based inclusivepedagogical techniques through our course design and instruction. In the future, we plan to 1)evaluate the effectiveness of our course design on participant accomplishment of learning goals,and 2) examine the impact of course participants as TAs on the broader bioengineeringcommunity.Course Design: Enabling effective learning of pedagogical skillsCourse Learning Goals: We designed a course to address a critical need in the training ofgraduate TAs by allowing them to build pedagogical skills before their

development of suchcompetencies of both students and teachers for active learning. We want to use the data to seekevidence of better practice in promoting student learning in engineering core courses, especiallythe traditional lecture-based ones.Course structureThis study has been conducted in a sophomore-level Biothermodynamics class for two semesters(2022 Spring and Fall). 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

The current solution to tackle these challengeswas implementing a professional identity assessment [3], as well as utilizing the reflectionsto better understand their experiences and what needs arose from the program. IntroductionThe at-home remote patient monitoring sector of healthcare is a growing industry. Thishealthcare market is valued at $24 billion and is projected to reach $166 Billion by 2030 [1],[4]. This industry provides individuals with disabilities or chronic medical conditions withnew levels of independence by allowing them to remain at home. These companiesleverage technology and personally crafted care plans that address the needs of theirclients. The technologies

with otherresearchers [9], [10], [11]. Students tend to enjoy REU programs and find them valuable inhelping direct their future plans, often including graduate school and further research [12], [13].Recent research argues for developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering students[14], [15], suggesting that it is crucial that BME programs, including research experiences,emphasize EM competencies [16], [17]. EM interventions in engineering education exist toenhance the traditional technical-focused education engineers receive and encourage well-rounded engineering graduates [14], [18]. Students exposed to EM interventions in researchexperiences expressed gaining confidence in business skills and value recognition [19], [20],which are

Student looks to a) lab partner(s) or peers, and/or b) TA, and/or c) class and lab materials to decide how to respond. 3. Student's ability to move past the setback depends on whether a) others experience the same setback, b) others normalize setbacks, and c) they know where to look to help them troubleshoot. These factors impact whether they can effectively manage their frustration in the moment.Figure 1.

DevelopmentGoals. In 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution for 2030 that included SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs). These SDGs have prompted changes to the engineering field to solvethese broad issues by increasing the capabilities and capacity of engineering through theinvolvement of young, student populations. It also prompts a change in engineering education tofocus more on sustainability in the curriculum [18].One final solution is the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Strategic Plan. The NSF hassupported multiple engineering education programs, such as Engineering Research Centers(ERCs) as well as the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). The main goal of theseprograms is to support research opportunities for students in

Evaluation #1occurred at the same time as those offerings that did not include asset activities (Pre). As shownin Figure 2, evaluation ratings were at a similar level to ratings in the offerings prior to assetactivities (Pre), also suggesting that the additional time may have contributed synergisticallywith asset-based activities to achieve higher peer evaluation ratings.Future plans to collect additional feedback will deepen our understanding of the impact andvalue of asset-based activities on all students in our senior level team-based design course.Additionally, further studies are needed to investigate how to effectively scaffold theundergraduate curriculum with equity-minded team dynamics instruction.References[1] Choi, J.

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

In herinterview, she elaborated on the design of the research experience and how she developed anddistributed a calendar detailing shadowing assignments, experiment information, and scheduledtime for lunches and breaks (see Figure 1). In addition to the schedule, Faculty Mentors 1 and 2set aside time for one-on-one meetings with the interns each week, creating a space for thestudents to share not just science interests but to

Each iteration is improved upon based onfeedback from the previous iteration.”“Iterative design is characterized by a process in which the design is refined and improved througha series of multiple iterations. Each iteration, the design is improved incrementally based onfeedback and testing from previous iterations.”“More specifically, the iterative design methodology begins with an initial planning step, whereinthe engineering requirements for a new device are developed and enumerated.”“Essentially, each subsequent stage of the iteration process only occurs after the current stagehas been made successful.
