] and health science funding agencies are placing a greater emphasis oncreating knowledge translation plans in grant applications [6–8]. One of the main reasons thatresearchers in biomedical engineering must begin addressing knowledge translation (at least inCanada) is that collaborative health research projects funded through the Natural Sciences andEngineering Research Council (NSERC) and CIHR that focus on interdisciplinary researchbetween engineering and any field of health science must submit applications that have: “… astrong focus on knowledge translation, and lead to health benefits for Canadians, more effectivehealth services and/or economic development in health-related areas [and] all applicant teamsare required to engage and

ROS was used in the study of a robotic arm to introduce kinematics to undergraduatestudents and is presented in Yousuf [3, 4]. ROS control for a robotic arm for balancing a ball ona plate was developed for use as a teaching tool for laboratory courses in Khan [5].

The habits of mind framework used to guidethis study was first published in the Project 2061 initiative led by the American Association forthe Advancement of Science (AAAS) and further developed by the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE). This exploratory work was guided by the following question: What habits ofmind do undergraduate electrical engineering students use when answering conceptualquestions about electric current? The data for this study were student interviews conductedusing a think aloud protocol. The questions on the protocol were aimed at uncovering students’conceptual knowledge and possible misconceptions about basic circuit concepts. The findingsfrom this work can potentially address key questions
then compare their findings to analyticalresults. The lab has a final project involving an experimental modal test and the creation of afinite element model of a structure of the students’ choosing. Students are required to proposeexplanations for the differences in the results from the test and the finite element model.Assessment results show that students have developed a much more sophisticated understandingof analysis and testing as a result of these experiences, and by the end of the course, they useappropriate technical terminology when discussing the differences between test and analyticalresults.BackgroundAccording to the National Research Council report How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience,and School [1], one aspect of effective

The engineering economics course was selected for active learning implementationbecause it is a course that students are required to take for their Mechanical Engineering andIndustrial Engineering degrees at University X. Engineering economics is a course that is criticalto industry-bound students due to its real-world applications. In addition, it is a course that isintegral to engineering senior capstone projects at University X. Changes in this course focusedon collaborative learning to help promote critical thinking and to encourage more activeinteraction among groups of students and across different student groups.
