The learning method for this course wasentirely reliant on the prescribed SolidWorks videos, and since it was during the first year, itconcurrently followed the in-person curriculum. As this was the first time the course was beingoffered, it was believed that an asynchronous option would increase participation, as studentsmay be unable to return to campus for evening sessions. The student leader who sent out emailsprovided the asynchronous cohort with weekly emails to provide structure and encouragement topersist with the videos and

and contemporary BME knowledge; and ‚ to enhance their comprehension of core ECE concepts by applying such concepts to multidisciplinary real world problems in medicine. Integrating such novel content into an existing core curriculum, we believe, can not onlyhelp us achieve these objectives, but also allow us to do so with very little or no additionalresources. The proposed approach is essentially to develop a set of experiments, designed todemonstrate novel concepts, integrated into select core curriculum courses, to complement anyelectives that may be offered in such an area. In our case, we designed the experiments to exposestudents to various BME concepts and associated relevant topics of underlying physiology

The first two courses were de-signed to supplement lecture-based theory courses during the same semester students are takingthem. The third course challenges students to design and execute their own experiments, buildingupon skills they learn in the earlier labs. Thus, the new sequence includes horizontal integrationwith discipline courses across the curriculum, and vertical scaffolding of skills related to experi-ment design and analysis.The Mechanics Laboratory course was offered to the first cohort in Spring 2019.

The myriad entrypoints to this specific engineering program (changes in major, transfers, career changes, stop-outs, etc.) punctuate that first-year-in-engineering may not be synonymous with first-time-in-college. As enrollment patterns continue to change across higher education, it is imperative thatengineering programs are prepared to support students and the variety experiences and needsthey bring to the classroom.

In this context, the instructor provides the cohorts and industrial partners with an “Oral Presentation Evaluation Form” which includes the criteria and weights on which the candidates are graded. A candidate can find this form under “Forms” of the course homepage. The measure with which this skill is evaluated is the analysis and evaluation of survey instrument results and interviews with co-workers, as well as the grades received on the oral presentation.

Furthermore, the exponential increase inthe number of transistors available in integrated circuits has drastically changed the field ofelectrical and computer engineering. Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools allow systemsengineers to work at higher-levels of abstraction to design increasingly more complex systems.Embedded system design has been a keystone course in electrical and computer engineeringcurricula. Following the migration from discrete components to programmable logic devices inintroductory digital design courses we expect to see a similar, yet more selective, shift to the useof soft core processors in future microprocessor and embedded systems

These areas include electrical and computerengineering, computing sciences, mechanical engineering, and other engineering disciplines. Asa result, it is very difficult to train students and engineers within a single discipline to effectivelydesign and implement complex real-time embedded systems. Thus, we felt that it was importantto first establish an interdisciplinary framework of structured courses for education in real-timeembedded system design [5].
