Because of the broad nature of the field andthe rapid development of new technology, biomedical engineers are often exposed to newdevices and equipment that they are not familiar with. Developing a process to identify andrepair failure points in a structured manner is an important skill for bioengineering students.The troubleshooting modules were created based on common failure points that studentsencounter regularly in the

touse different software products other than Lab Archives alludes to the possibility thatadoption of software to organize research is possible. As the librarian who is a liaison toall of the sciences and engineering, perhaps a single lab notebook solution will not bethe answer to accommodate the different fields and different types of researchconducted on campus, whether bench research or computational research or otherwise.Investing in multiple software products is an option for the Library, however it is not aneconomically sound tactic. The Librarian should remain alert to the different researchneeds and continue to be cognizant of new software and technologies that have beendeveloped to meet researcher needs.Acknowledgement: Matthew Sumner

Problems withretention and gaining student interest early in the program led to the creation of three newcourses for 1st and 2nd year Mechanical Engineering students. In the first semester, students takethe course “Production and Manufacturing Processes”. The goal of this course is to teach thebasics of manual milling and turning, CNC milling and turning, welding, and injectionmolding/casting.
