In the Department ofBioengineering at the University of Washington, we have recently moved our professionalprogram to a fully online format. Here, I present the structure being used for two fully onlinecourses in the Master in Pharmaceutical Bioengineering program that promotes the success ofour students.Many online programs rely entirely on recorded material, assignments, and discussion boards.This delivery method is effective and allows students to progress through the courses atindividual paces. However, this format does not provide a strong learning community

SESMC was funded at $600,000 for five-years. The first set of scholarshipswas awarded during academic year 2013–14, and the final set was awarded during 2017–18.Project activities were based on four foundations blocks: Financial, Academic Skills,Involvement, and Commitment/Motivation (Figure 1). Each scholar was awarded up to $6,000per year. Scholars were required to attend group study sessions, workshops, guest speaker talks,etc., as well as meet twice per semester with a faculty mentor in

Recently, instruction in sustainability conceptswas expanded from the Design III course to the Design II course, as a result of the instructorreceiving internal grant funding for a course-redesign on a Title V I-CARE (Integrating a Cultureof Academic and Research Engagement) federal grant. For the course re-design, a newinstructional module was created on heat integration in chemical processes, and then a short termstudent project was assigned to students.The sustainability concepts that are discussed in the Design II and Design III courses are (1)recycling of unreacted feed or other chemical; (2) heat integration; (3

Therefore, our goal was tobenchmark a broad snapshot of the current laboratory course sequence before implementing anycourse changes. Due to the complexity of the course learning objectives, the authors took amulti-dimensional approach. By using both self-assessment and direct assessment methods withvarious tools in each of these categories we sought to capture the effects of our currentpedagogical practices while creating a platform to assess future changes to the laboratorycurriculum. The four outcomes of interest were developments in knowledge, laboratory skills,attitudes, and writing skills.Table 1: Proposed assessments that cross

In 2007, the averageretention rate at U.S. engineering schools was just 56% [1]. Using 2016 data from 150engineering schools, Veenstra et al.

In the 21st century, personalized electronics, such as smart phones and laptops, are usedat a much higher rate than almost any other resources, including textbooks, by digitally nativestudents. Similarly, very little information is available about textbook usage, and most researchshows a majority of college students do not read textbooks [1-6]. However, technology fromreading quizzes to interactive textbooks are beginning to measure positive results related to out ofclass reading and participation [7-15].
