Forexample in September, the discussion focused on the nature of the meetings. One group leaderstated, “we plan to meet once a month.” Later in the semester, group leaders discussed the natureof their interactive teaching changes. One group leader, “I ask questions… on notecards… [thestudents] have a choice: to ask me a question or being asked a question. And they getmicrophones and I call like 30 cards a session. So, it is part of the whole lecture experience.” Inthe second semester, discussion focused on the progress of teaching development groupmembers toward making

Completing this training ahead of the design teamcourse allowed teams to start with a deeper understanding of medical needs and applications oftheir project need and practical clinical constraints, a working relationship with their clinicalmentor, and primer on team and project management.

The model is depicted as having two separate prongs, which can be referred to asthe “decomposition and definition” stream and the “integration and verification” stream. Thisapproach is comprised of a variety of phases which include: defining user requirements,generating system concepts and validation plans, developing performance specifications andverification plans, subsystem and component decomposition, subsystem assembly andverification, system validation, and system operation and maintenance planning.

This meansthat there are many contingencies to investigate in terms of how students ultimately landin their first and subsequent jobs within the first few years of graduating. Providing somegranularity to the picture, Brunhaver’s study of recent engineering graduates indicatesthat while the majority of graduates were working in engineering-focused positions fouryears after graduation, about 20% of graduates were working in non-engineering focusedpositions.6 We note that although demographic factors did not seem to differentiatepathways at this stage, co

Then, there was asecond administration of the ATI-22 as a post-test (POST-1) at the end of the TeacherWorkshop, in which all participants (including CFTP members) took part. In this case,participants were asked to fill out the ATI-22 thinking about what they planned to do thefollowing semester.
