biomedical engineering design course,comprised of junior and senior biomedical engineers. The students underwent a 3-day prototypingworkshop to develop a low-fidelity upper extremity prosthetic hand with the ability to grip, grasp orarticulate using a five-digit design or prehensor hook [9. 10]. The device needed to be controlled by a body-powered harness to open/close the device using movement by the contralateral side tethered with a cable.Senior Biomedical Engineering Capstone (BME 437) – Medical Device: In this 3-hour workshop,students had to develop a limited functional prototype of their capstone design project. Senior biomedicalengineering students spent 10 weeks researching and developing engineering design ideas following theFDA’s waterfall

Forengineering majors, most companies at our career fairs and sponsors of capstone projects weredefense contractors. I personally got placed in capstone projects that were for defensecontractors, interned at a large defense contractor in my last summer, and worked there as amechanical engineer for a year before going to grad school. It really felt like all my options foremployment were defense-related in some way, and all the experiences I gained in my programas a mechanical-focused engineering major was geared towards the defense industry.

The QKDlab, for instance, prompted students to abstract concepts about photon polarization,measurement, and error detection into a functional mental model of quantum-securedcommunication. Similarly, the poster project required students to generalize learning acrossmodules into novel applications, promoting higher-order thinking and deeper conceptualmastery. Finally, students engaged in Active Experimentation through the design andimplementation of their own research projects, an essential capstone that allowed them to testand apply their ideas independently. For many participants, this was their first opportunity toengage in self-directed research using advanced lab

These statements require students to considerand articulate the societal, cultural, and ethical implications of their engineering solutions. Byintegrating DEI considerations into the capstone projects, students are encouraged to thinkcritically about the broader impact of their work, fostering a mindset that values diversity andinclusivity.

When the 2021 ABET reviewoccurred, a weakness was assigned for our program in Criterion 4: continuous improvement.The weakness was attributable to (a) faculty not assessing all elements of certain studentoutcomes (SOs), (b) inconsistency in which aspect of SOs were assessed by different instructorsteaching two different sections of the same course, and (c) faculty averaging their assessmentscores in an ad-hoc manner. ABET determined that the department assessment results did notrepresent a systematic assessment process that was applied in a consistent manner throughout theprogram.The new

Service Learning Experiences are distinguished by being mutually beneficial for bothstudent and community. Service learning is growing rapidly and is considered a part ofexperiential education by its very nature of learning, performing a job within the community,and serious reflection by the student. Service learning involves solving some of society'sissues; such as, homelessness, poverty, lack of quality education, pollution, etc. One of thegoals of service learning is to help students become aware of these issues

Survey research has a long history in the realm of human subject research and has arelatively mature methodology associated with it (see, e.g., Sapsford, 2007). Mixed methods research involves both qualitative and quantitative data collection andanalysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018).

Both of which were evaluated by the departmental staff. The scope,rigor, and quality of such projects appeared to be similar to those found in the U.S., which wasencouraging. However, the lack of staff with academic credentials made this problematic as thenumber of available project supervisors was so limited to adequately mentor approximately 20master level and 30 undergraduate students within the department.

An engagedstudent is more likely to have short-term goals such as an intention to participate in an internshipprogram or long-term goals such as intentions to pursue graduate studies or move into the technicalworkforce. Tutoring sessions, field trips, and research projects have been introduced to theundergraduate engineering student's curriculum ostensibly to increase engagement. Peerdiscussions in undergraduate courses have helped develop the personal and social skills to thrivein an engineering major.
