The difficulty in challenge-based teaching is that thefreshmen students do not have the common foundation in math, science, and engineering theyneed before they start their projects, a situation encountered in other freshmen biomedicalengineering courses2.Course OrganizationDuring the semester, each freshmen team undertake five laboratory modules, in which theydesign their own experimental protocols, perform experiments in lab, and write reportscollectively as a team. Graduate student TAs oversee five to seven of the freshmen teams andare responsible for all of the grading. Every year 25-30

requires cooperation and coordination with the faculty members teaching these other courses.• One way to increase the value of service courses is to have the department chairs and senior faculty members take turns teaching the course. Page 5.435.10• Support staff are crucial to reforming service courses. Laboratory technicians must coordinate their lab experiments with lectures. Time must be given to train teaching assistants in the manner the instructor desires.• Appointing a team of faculty to take charge of a service course is more likely to lead to institutionalized reforms than assigning a single faculty member to the task.

IntroductionThe default preparation for a faculty career is none at all. Graduate students may get sometraining on tutoring, grading papers, the importance of laboratory safety, and the undesirability ofsexual harassment, and new faculty members may hear about their benefit options, theimportance of laboratory safety, and the undesirability of sexual harassment, but that’s about itfor academic career preparation at most universities. This is an unhealthy state of affairs. Being a college professor requires doing a numberof things that graduate school does not teach you to do

For the most part, the project seems to help in the class butassessment results are mixed but tend to show that the students still want (and probably need) thehands on component of a laboratory. Once the materials are decoupled however and the projectis used in the class, it may indeed be possible to dedicate the laboratory to issues of interfacingsensors and actuators rather than trying to teach control design and/or analysis principles. Based on the tentative assessment results, it appears that the control class has benefited fromthe use of a semester long project integrated into the class “lecture” materials.
