Even with this increase in diversity, 50% of the students in the REU programhad a moderate amount (six months to two years) of previous research experience. Approximatelyhalf of the students in each cohort reported having previous ethics training.Research DesignA major part of the project was developing an ethical survey tool specific to biomedicalengineering. First, we developed survey materials to measure respondents’ situational ethics bycreating five short scenarios, each of which presents an ethical situation relevant to biomedicalengineering research

With a declining number of high schoolgraduates entering the system, the School of Engineering has made student retention a priority.Justification for RecitationIn order to effectively engage engineering students, improve passing rates, and increase retentionin their programs, universities have looked to innovative teaching pedagogies. Active learning[2], increased class time [3], recitation [4], project-based learning [5], and peer tutoring [6] arejust a few of the methods chosen to enhance traditional lecture-based courses.

A way to increase thespeed of the scooter is to get a longer chain to switch to the larger gear located at the top of thesteering column. This would increase the gear ratio which would increase the speed. The currentscooter did not meet the weight constraint the customer desired. If the scooter was made out oflighter materials such as carbon fiber instead of steel, aluminum, and wood the scooter wouldmake the 20 pound weight limit.
