Vein finder devices use near-infrared (NIR) light toilluminate veins, which may not be visible to the naked eye11-14. These devices serve as aninvaluable tool to locate a suitable vein for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion,which can be challenging in some patients due to age, skin color, obesity, or existing medicalconditions15. Near-infrared vein finding technology can be especially valuable to nursingstudents who are learning how to select appropriate veins for IV insertion and are expected toperform PIVC

The course also utilizedthe book Writing in Engineering: A Brief Guide by Robert Irish for student reference. This bookgives guidelines for writing in engineering and was chosen because it was easy for students tounderstand and apply concepts from it. The assignments in the course were broken up into stepsfor the students which included a rough draft process with peer revisions. The ENGL 1020course also allowed students to get support for the research paper they wrote in the ENGR 1208course.
