Practice. Tsinghua University is one ofthe top ranked universities in China and widely regarded as the best in the field of engineering.The two-way program started in 2010 with receipt of a seed grant from Purdue’s InternationalPrograms. Students from the two partner institutions form cross-cultural teams that undertakeinterdisciplinary research projects for a period of ten weeks. This paper describes the twoprojects offered during the summer of 2014, which were focused on big data and analytics inbiomedicine. The projects’ interdisciplinary spirit is justified and strengthened by theparticipation of faculty advisors from Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering andTsinghua’s Department of Automation.The dual exchange program is structured

for educational purposes, a pragmatic pedagogical approach is needed to assistin the integration of simulations, based on best practices in education, to ensure that thesimulations are utilized effectively as part of a well-designed curriculum.To answer the question, “How can computational simulations be effectively used as apedagogical tool?” we draw from Bransford’s framework of How People Learn (HPL) 11, basedon a synthesis of and our experiences with a sophomore materials science course. The NRCreport, How People Learn (HPL)11, synthesized the research literature concerning the ways thatnew information is learned and conceptual change occurs in a format that is easily digestible fora wide audience.

Student participation almost doubled to a total of 16 undergraduate students and 3graduate students. While a design-build-fly activity was desired, it was determined to be toodifficult to achieve in this second project iteration. Instead, a design-build-test framework waschosen as an intermediate step on the way to a collaborative full design-build-fly activity.In order to avoid repeating the same student project every year, the project’s leadership teamsearched for a test activity template to best fit with the

These three core competencies are also engineeringeducational objectives as dictated by ABET criteria21. Increasing the design component in theundergraduate curriculum better prepares graduates for engineering practice, the end result being a well-rounded engineer. Traditional engineering courses provided graduates with little, if any, experience inengineering application.

Engineers todayreport that communication is critical to their success and spend a large percentage of timeinteracting with others1 and working on teams2.

Researchers stress that engineering design is not simply the application of sciencecontent1,10. Rather, engineering design is a particular problem-solving practice “involving acomplex mixture of knowledge, process, and the enabling of skills or graduate attributes neededfor professional practice”6 (p. 2).
