Continually Challenged with Integrated Design ProjectsAbstractIntroduction: The undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum should preparestudents to confidently approach complex problems, as graduates will enter the workforce in anenvironment of rising healthcare costs, decreasing average life expectancy, and significantsocioeconomic disparities in health outcomes. With this landscape, solutions to contemporaryproblems will require innovative thinking and groundbreaking medical technologies, suggestingthat the future of BME will be increasingly design-oriented. BME curricula generally includelaboratory and project components aimed at preparing students for senior capstone; however,students may begin capstone

their abilities have higher academic performance and will consider a larger array ofcareer options. Improving self-efficacy is therefore very important to the academic and futuresuccess of students.Understanding the design process and the application of technical skills is important for students.Outside of some labs and capstone courses, these concepts are not often put into practice inacademic settings. Since students do not have many opportunities to work on real-world problemsthroughout their college career, the UTDesign EPICS team wanted to measure the impact ofworking on real-world projects on learning the design process and motivation to complete work.We surveyed the students after the semester on these topics.

Additionally, biomedical instrumentation has been an area of study for so long(e.g., when compared to a relatively new area such as tissue engineering) that a greater relativeweight in terms of the number of educational sensors and devices efforts is not surprising.Target students range in age from high school students (e.g., who attended summercourses/camps) up to seniors in college engaged in capstone design efforts. A large number ofpapers cited in the literature review were geared toward sophomore-to-senior-level students,whereas fewer were aimed at freshmen and high school students.

growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment.

Engineering instructors at the University of Waterloo have identified a lack of opportunitiesfor students to practice their need finding skills prior to fourth year. As a result, a set of needfinding instructional activities were conducted in-class for one term.

Freshman courses usually serve a dual purpose: a) making engineering a moreattractive study option for undecided students, and b) introducing the basics of technical andnon-technical skills, such as teamwork and project planning. On the other hand, seniors doingtheir capstone projects are expected to perform at a more proficient level, one that woulddemonstrate their readiness for entering the workforce as engineers.As will be discussed below, the project component in our freshman year-long sequence evolvesfrom minimally structured projects
