Modules were piloted between our BME 410 and our year-long BME senior design course(BME 396/397). Final iterations of all four modules are planned for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025,wherein curricular materials will be recorded and disseminated publicly.Module 1: Sourcing and appropriate selection of standards.

According to aUtilitarian view, a form of consequentialism made famous by John Stuart Mill and JeremyBentham, value arises from added benefit or avoided harm. Goals of utility, happiness, and reliefor prevention of suffering seem the easiest to quantify, yet the perspective of the viewer tends tocolor the evaluation at least according to relevant time scale and scope, for example, the 5-, 10-,or 20-year plan of a particular business.

about science [10].II.Program Development Program development began as a series of experiences and discoveries that changed the perspective on what to teach, and how. In 2022, the Sensor Signal and Information Processing center at Arizona State University hosted a Research Experience for Teachers (SenSIP RET). The program was centered around the goal of exposing Secondary and College educators to current research, and introducing them to research practices, with the expectation that they would bring back new lesson plans to share that experience in their own classrooms. The SenSIP program’s first week was overwhelming, for two reasons. There was an incredible amount of technical material given, with the expectation that the teachers

To replicate this PBL experience in any engineering course,instructors need only reach out to the competition organizers and attend informative webinars tograsp the dynamics, benefits, and support available.
