The improved confidence for open-ended problem solvingand self-efficacy are likely related to the successful creation of a collaborative learningenvironment [8]-[9]. This adaptive change in motivation may also be influenced by the use ofthree phases for a DC instead of the more traditional one-day activity. Current revisions involvemaintaining collaboration and feelings about self as an engineer, efforts to increase difficulty andusability, while decreasing persistent issues and overall fidelity of implementation. The specificsof these revisions as well as the plan for an additional study will be provided during thepresentation.References1 Crippen, K., Wu, C.-Y., Boyer, T., de

An additional 15 honors students enrolled in Bioengineering Mechanics I in fall 2017also collaborated with EWB students to create their own globally-focused application of staticsand mechanics concepts. In future iterations of this study, we plan to implement more of theseglobally-inspired mechanics problems, incorporate direct assessments to evaluate whether theseproblems helped students attain our goals and the ABET outcomes, code the free responses toidentify emergent themes, and compare those students enrolled in honors with those not enrolledin honors.In conclusion

We identify the student team management as one aspect with high improvement need: there is still great variability in the effectivity of the student teams. In the most recent pilot we start using the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME) to create and assess team effectivity. In our case we feel that active learning has been a successful pilot experiment to teach bioinstrumentation because it enhances problem-solving skills along with other important traits of modern engineers such as teamwork and communication skills.

However during the fall of 2014, it was determined that the summer 2014 implementationof the Raspberry Pi-based system was not easily maintainable or extendable. In order to addressthese concerns a redesign was proposed consisting of three components: 1) refactoring theinstrument parsing code, 2) restructuring the database schema and 3) implementing a REST APIexplained later) to provide a consistent way to access the data.

This increase was expectedsince attending tutoring was required during the pilot study. Although researchers expected anincrease in total number of indepent tutoring visits during the pilot study, it was originallysurmised that once students were over the awkwardness of an initial visit then they would bemore likely to use the resource again. It was disappointing to find no change in the number ofstudents with more than one tutoring visits. Fall 2016 had 17 students while fall 2017 only had16 students visit tutoring more than once.

However, the planned use of ‘canned’ software to allow students to perform quickdesign trade studies was abandoned in favor of a ‘handout’ which provided students with theoption of choosing several assumptions to facilitate completion of their project before the end ofthe semester. Use of these assumptions made the analysis performed less than rigorous, althoughit did provide a preview of the more complete analysis to be required of students in seniorcapstone courses.

These mockups are made from hard-tooled components, thusleading to another problem: the hose models make a late entry into the CAD database. Theeffect is that it is difficult to plan for the space needed for proper hose clearance. Better andvalid modeling techniques are needed.One hose modeling technique being studied at Western Michigan University involves the use ofdiscrete flexible links in simulation software. To aid in the proper implementation and validationof this modeling technique, a group of four students in a Capstone Design Course were asked toapply reverse engineering techniques to measure points along an actual hose and enter thosepoints into the simulation
