However, professionals with health informatics degrees, and computerscience and engineering degrees each approach problems differently from their particularperspective(s), and resulting multidisciplinary teams can only provide short-term solutions. Thus,resulting data architectures and support infrastructures are both inefficient and incomplete in mostcases.This article provides a basic analysis of twelve existing health informatics undergraduate majorprograms, and proposes a more STEM-focused, engineering-oriented degree options tocomplement these programs to help narrow the skills gap. In particular, we argue that at leastsome of the health informatics professionals on-the-field should be providedopportunities—during their
their specimens, a benchtop mechanical tester (MTestQuattro; ADMET,Inc., Norwood, MA, USA) was used by the students to deform their specimens in tension at afixed deformation rate of 0.5 mm/s until failure was observed. Engineering stress-strain curveswere constructed from the resulting data, and the students determined the Young’s modulus (E),yield stress (σy), and strain at failure (εf) for each specimen. A full list of materials, step-by-stepinstructions, discussion questions and a glossary of engineering terminology is publicallyavailable.8 While only one deformation rate is investigated here, activity extensions could beperformed to investigate the effect of rate on the deformation response.

Some studentswitnessed the special care system and then realized how much the teachers contributedto the quality of life of people they cared for, what a different life the people withdisabilities lived, and how hard the people with disabilities had to try to become self-contained. Students considered the project a life changing experience.ReferencesChang, Y. J., Kang, Y. S., & Liu, F. L. (2014).

The data gathered from thestudent population was evaluated using descriptive statistics as well as content analysis. Theinstrument provides an indication of how the student perception changes for both individuals andthe aggregate population experiencing the material provided during the trip.Overall the engineering technology students learned more about other ways of life and wereencouraged by their peers to become more open minded. Their observations proved that theapproach to renewable energy in Germany and Europe as a whole is very different from the UnitedStates or other countries, such as India. The

For example, there have been a wide list of categories andcharacteristics used to measure race in the United States that have changed over the years. Peoplecould not self-select their own racial category in the census until after 1960 – instead, they wereassigned a race based on phenotypical and linguistic features that conformed to the censustakers’ conceptual models of race [13]. In some parts of the US, race was assigned primarilybased on skin color and this determined what

to enroll in the program. Each session lasts two hours, generally from 9 – 11am. The first hour of each session is spent using the “Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces” (ALEKS) web-based instructional software. Students work through the program individually with monitoring from volunteers. For the 2nd hour of the session, the students participate in hands-on and/or group projects that 1) help reinforce the lessons learned in their classroom and ALEKS and 2) help increase student excitement and efficacy towards learning STEM concepts. Students enter the program at the beginning of their 3rd grade year. These students are grouped as a cohort. The first cohort in West Lafayette launched in 2017. The first cohort for
