One is a beach and rough terrain platform that allows a person in a power wheelchairto explore rough terrain. Another is a mechanism that takes a backpack or briefcase from theside of a power wheelchair to the back of the chair. This is helpful, because with the backpackon the side of the chair, it can’t fit through doors. The third is a folding writing table forwheelchairs.

Forexample, the biomedical engineering students used the terms “merit” and “feasibility” whiledeveloping their decision matrix for their projects. The students readily translated these terms to“key features/functions” and “critical to success” metrics. It is hypothesized that this task maybe more difficult for freshman or sophomore-level students, but it is an important skill to developin graduating seniors as they head into careers where the terminology may be different, but theconcepts are the same.It was also

While this paper does not attempt to defend the status quo,it is an attempt to propose a conceptual framework for the engineering graduate. Engineering programs are typically some of the most tightly packed undergraduatedegrees in Canadian Universities, and are filled with a great number of required courses, givingstudents few options for exploring their personal lines of interest. In a four-year degree program,there is no room to put additional course requirements on students without moving to a

As a team, team members also created an interview protocol to learn about eachother. Each student interviewed at least one other team member and reflected on how theinterview had unfolded. Typical interview questions included, “What brought you to thisuniversity?”; “What activities are you involved in on and off campus?”; “What do you plan tomajor in and why?”; and “What are your long-term career goals?” Common interview reflectionsincluded, “I rushed through questions; I won’t do that next time”, “We should
