Page 24.528.5well as the reduced ethical concerns regarding their isolation (compared to embryonic stem cells)made them an attractive cell reservoir for applications of tissue engineering and regenerativemedicine, including for cartilage repair 29. We selected the bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived MSCs for several instructional and practical reasons: i) they are the best characterized ofall adult MSCs, ii) they manifest different potency for chondrogenesis 30, 31, iii) they differ intheir availability, abundance, and morbidity associated with their isolation methods 32, 33, and iv)are available commercially. This comparative analysis will provoke the students to furtherexplore why MSCs from different sources have distinct requirements

grade to advance in their studies. For those students,the bridge program successfully advanced their math education by at least a semester.From Figure 3, the results for the bridge program students in College Algebra are muchmore varied. First, it is clear that bridge program students who did not improve theiroriginal math placement tend to not get a grade of C or better in their first attempt inCollege Algebra, as over the four years only 1 of 7 students accomplished that. As such,there may be a problem with the work ethic of students who did not improve their mathplacement, or these students have fundamentally reached their mathematical abilities andcannot complete the work in Math 116 successfully.

The Engineer of 2020 survey asksstudents to provide self-ratings from 1 (Weak/None) to 5 (Excellent) for the following fouritems: 1) Knowledge of contexts (social, political, economic, cultural, environmental, ethical, etc.) that might affect the solution to an engineering problem; 2) Knowledge of the connections between technological solutions and their implications for the society or groups they are intended to benefit; 3) Ability to use what you know about different cultures, social values, or political systems in developing engineering solutions; and 4) Ability to recognize how different contexts can change a solution.

Our team explored a variety of approaches for recruitmentand found that using a third-party recruitment firm was the most expedient approach. For othersto follow this approach, however, they would need to work closely with their IRB to determinethe most appropriate and ethical process. Our team also found that sharing the study flyer withdifferent groups’ e-newsletters was an effective recruitment strategy.Third, while we generally received more screening survey responses from boys than from girls,this difference was

. Engineering skills covered include data analysis and graphing withExcel as well as drawing skills (isometric drawings and projections created by hand and usingProgeCAD software). Preceptorial topics include student advising, time management, exampreparation, as well as oral and written communication skills. The honors section of the class hasan additional class meeting each week and covers additional topics, including library research,engineering ethics, and global perspectives of the engineering profession.This study of design contamination was performed as a part of the first laboratory challenge.This early placement was chosen because the engineering design process is covered in a lecturein the week preceding that challenge.
