Both the accrediting bodies and the university make it mandatory to assess courses andprograms. The instructors of record are expected to measure student learning as per theobjectives stipulated in the syllabus. The study was conducted in Spring 2012. The perceptualimportance of the learning objectives of the course was measured both before and after thecourse was taken by the students. An

makingnecessary changes and corrections. Improved safety will result in a greateracceptance of robotic assistants while potentially assuring a higher qualityprocedure and care delivery necessary for patients.In conclusion, detailed analysis of failures in medically engineered systems such asrobotic assistants in surgery and a proposal of methods to circumvent the problemwill enhance their safety, and improve product performance resulting in a higherquality robotic surgery. The techniques learned by students in this project arevaluable to biomedical engineering students, especially at the undergraduate level.Key words- Surgical robotic assistants, Undergraduate research project, roboticsystem failures, learning product design, product failure
