-specific educational objectives.The shortcomings of using standardized end of semester assessments can be overcome by using aseries of multiple short assessments during a semester, in which assessments are designedspecifically for the course and the student body. This assessment-improvement feedback processflowchart is shown in Figure 1. This process substantially reduces the assessment -improvement-verification turn-around time, making it easier to determine the effectiveness of teaching orcurriculum changes on the learning experience. It also addresse s the problem of varying classdynamics since changes in course curriculum or the teaching style directly benefit those studentsparticipating in the assessment. The proposed assessment methodology

It can bedone, but these networks must be in place.IV. Working Women/Mothers in the Fields of Science and TechnologyAccording to U.S. News & World Report, Women now make up a strong 48% of collegegraduates who majored in science or engineering. Unfortunately, the percentage of womenpursuing a doctoral degree is only 33%. Percentages are even lower in physical sciences, 23%,and in engineering, percentages drop to 12% as opposed to the 40% of women who earnedM.D.’s last year. 11Why are the numbers so low in the science and engineering fields in colleges and

students.In conclusion, the transformation of the Digital Design Lab course at Georgia SouthernUniversity stands as a testament to the potential of thoughtfully designed educationalresources to enhance student learning outcomes. The ongoing process of assessment andrefinement ensures that the course will continue to evolve, keeping pace with technologicaladvancements and educational best practices. This initiative not only benefits the students ofGeorgia Southern University but also holds the promise of influencing digital designeducation in a broader academic context.References[1] “Open Educational Resources | UNESCO.” https://www.unesco.org/en/open- educationalresources (accessed Nov. 15, 2023).[2] S.

recognized "core"of material that has been relatively stable for at least ten years. It has evolved in the field withoutany agency or body attempting to specify such a core. Unfortunately, it is difficult to look backto the early 70’s when the first programs were created to see the evolution to this point.However, the data presented here will provide a point of reference for studying the evolution ofthe undergraduate bioengineering curriculum in the future. Our analyses have emphasized commonalities across BME, but there is clearly alsoconsiderable diversity in BME undergraduate curricula. If we were to investigate certain otherbranches of engineering, at least five or six topics would be expected to be nearly 100%consistent across programs
