physician is designed to be holistic early in medical school. Their first courseis gross anatomy. Clinically based medical education is far more effective, if not veryefficient, as one can surmise from the cost of medical school. Even thoughengineering educators do not have eight year programs, except for Ph.D. s,engineering education might still profit some from the context of medical education,which introduces clinical experiential learning early and continues throughout theprogram and into residency.The abstractions and reductive nature of teaching engineering science are highlyefficient in terms of the metrics of cost and time and are reasonably predictive ofsuccess in practice.

Once again, the most gain was made with questions 2 and 5.Due to the differences in point distribution with the removal of quesiton 1 for the second year, itis not possible to perform direct statistical anaylsis between the two years. However it is stillpossible to make some observations. It is surprising to see all the 0’s on question 2 whenlooking at the points distribution for the 2010 post-test. The amount invalid samples (incompletetests) for 2009/2010 was also remarkable. Both years showed improvement on questions 2 and5.

If students are familiar with basic statistical techniques wecan differentiate between random and systematic errors and show that random errors can bereduced by averaging the results of repeated measurement. In this case, for random errors, therange can be replaced with  2s / n , where s is the experimental standard deviation and n is thenumber of samples averaged.
