One ofthe first that comes to mind is that of rapid gas expansion, like that employed by firearms. Whilethis method can certainly be effective, it does not fit well with the requirements for this system.A rapid gas expansion launch typically requires some type of tube which a tightly fitting object isfired through

With this in mind, the School of Biomedical Engineering at Colorado State Universitysought to improve the 100-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course (BIOM-101).This high enrollment (approximately 150 student) course is required for all undergraduatestudents pursuing a biomedical engineering major or minor and is typically taken the first fall ofenrollment in the degree program. The course has been offered every fall for the past seven yearsand, until 2016, was almost exclusively lecture-based with little to no formalized in-class peer-to-peer interaction. In Fall 2015, the course met three times per week

, I'd say that that sense of that - that technical social dualism is reinforced throughout the curriculum, but especially in the – in two large areas of the curriculum in engineering science courses and humanities and social science courses. So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired

This could begin to change the ethos of engineering inthe mind of the student, and ultimately in the practice of everyday engineering. In the“capstone” type courses such as senior design and other

This approach has been widely adopted and nearly 60% of engineeringprograms in the U.S. have established a FYE course sequence.4With the increasing popularity of FYE programs, it is important to understand how they affect students’ major choiceand their intention to remain in engineering majors.

For example, one junior said that the minor,“emphasizes creativity which, for engineers, we don’t really have that opportunity in our otherclasses.” Other elements of this “different way of thinking” included constantly searching foropportunities to create solutions and considering the next step to fix problems.
