This course made me aware of global health, and got me very interested in looking for jobs in this area. I now have a deeper understanding of the health issues of foreign countries, and know of some ways to help. Wish I could learn more, plan to do so. It was an experience that is hard to explain and is better experienced. Learning about different healthcare systems makes me see the healthcare of the U.S. differently…I find myself sometimes looking at problems and not only finding

Therefore, we are confident that this initiative has been a success.Future changesIn the future, we will create additional opportunities for formal interaction between the advisoryboards and BME students. Advisory boards will start giving feedback to the students earlier inthe semester. The students’ preliminary project proposal, developed in the first month of theclass, could move to an online format, as we have done with the mid-semester presentation. Wehave also developed a rubric to assist the advisory board in the evaluation of the design ideas andprototypes.In addition, we plan to include an assessment that evaluates the

When the secondauthor compared several ABET approved programs in the country, he found thatthey have fewer laboratories in their recommended academic plans than they dida few years ago. The reduction or elimination of real touch, feel and seeexperiences of laboratories havecontributed to the loss of “gut instinct”for many engineers. Using the common smart phonewith cost effective hardware,experiments have been designed tobring back some of the touch, feel andsee experiences to the classroom. Figure 1.

This information was gathered by the student researchers by conducting a detailedinventory of the existing FIT Closet facility. Once the inventory was completed, the studentsrequested to gather additional information from current volunteers and shoppers. To this point,the information gathered was focused on how the current facility operated. The students wantedto learn from those individuals who regularly use the FIT Closet how it could function better.Volunteers and shoppers were asked to provide feedback regarding their experiences

Among these, 95% emphasized designpractices such as problem framing, ideation, and prototyping [7]. These practices are commonlydeveloped through the design, building, and testing of physical models with instructionstructured around the engineering design process (EDP) [8].

It embraces uncertainty and explores multiple plausiblefutures to spark imagination and address complex challenges [13, 14]. As James Dator famouslystated, “The future cannot be predicted because the future does not exist” [15].In engineering education, the use of futures literacy has primarily focused on planning and riskmanagement. While these approaches are valuable, they tend to constrain the broader,exploratory potential of futures thinking.

Increasingly, companies are utilizing FEA to reduce their product designcycle, so why is it that most institutions suffice by introducing a theoretically based FEA course?If industry requires a certain skill, why do we not include this skill in the student’s training? If astudent is not planning to attend graduate school, what is the value of a theoretical FEA course?The
