and protocols. A co-op program with four phases and multipleactivity/training segments at a large teaching hospital has been very successful with students fromthree universities in U.S., France and Canada. Other students did their co-op at a research center,with service contractors, or with project teams on commissioning and installation of specializedequipment. These students generally prepared a written report with appropriate approvalemployers.With the proposed co-op model, graduates are better trained in the BME field. They get valuableexperience of understanding real life problems and participating in solving them. They can assestheir own interests and develop necessary practical skills to succeed in their careers. Some studentscan

to go to college. Intoday’s competitive workforce and global economy the importance of college education iswithout a doubt known by many people. Especially the need for trained professionals in thefields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) increased within the lastdecade. Like many nations, United States of America is striving to create opportunities toincrease the number of professionals in the fields of engineering and technology. 2 According to2013 Spectrum Forecasters STEM Survey Report 76% of the survey takers stated that a career inSTEM gives people opportunity to make a difference while only 22.2% thought that a career inSTEM provides a job security. 3 In United States, the science and mathematics classes are

have a large base of talent to recruit from. A combination ofglobalization, economic conditions, and other factors has lead to increased competition for jobsof every discipline. It is for this reason that educational institutions need to adapt to changingdemands if they are to prepare their students for what will be expected of them as they begintheir professional careers. At the undergraduate level, laboratory courses are often where newtechnology and teaching methods are integrated into the curriculum. However, since the 1970s,many institutions have decreased the quantity or consolidated laboratory courses offered in aneffort to curb increasing costs. A shift in the focus of faculty towards research combined withshrinking department budgets

inclusion of this channel in the modified delivery system has many advantages, including thecapacity to improve student engagement by emphasizing relevance to their future careers.(Woolley, Rose, Orthner, Akos, & Jones-Sanpei, 2013). While this deficiency could easily beaddressed through integration of applied content within the core delivery system, it was decided toisolate its delivery within recitation meetings, with only limited review of the associated contentprovided within lecture as necessary. The purpose of isolating the two types of content delivery istwo-fold. Namely, through isolating delivery channels, the system becomes increasingly adaptable,allowing for adjustments in the blend of individual content delivery type. This
