The course is designed to help students transition from a science-oriented highschool way of thinking to an engineering point of view. In particular, students that participate inthe BME section in this course are introduced to and charged with utilizing the engineeringdesign process to solve open-ended problems. Following this course, opportunities for exploringdesign can be found both within BME laboratory courses and in the parallel lecture courses. Theculmination of the laboratory sequence and the design experiences introduced throughout earliercourses is the required senior “capstone” design course, which includes a significant

The “new demands” of the marketplace are simply the continual accelerated changes in the complexity and scope of technological change. As technologies evolve, so must those whose chosen profession is to prepare the STEM-related workforce of the future. Or risk premature irrelevance. It would be nice if our top- level administration would concentrate on increasing faculty and laboratory support as much as increasing institutional “branding” and revamping the campus to be more engaging to the social desires of undergraduate students. And football… the institution is seeking to raise $26+ million to build a new stadium—a limited use

To augment, we will also continue to improve our collaborations with engineeringpractitioners, EWB, and aid groups to develop more case studies, particularly ones withquantitative analysis components.Additionally, our dream is to have permanent installations of the project demonstrations on ourcampus in an outdoor laboratory
