homework (significance at p < 0.05),and a Friedman ANOVA was used to compare student rankings with a post-hoc WilcoxonSigned Rank test using Bonferroni correction (significance at p < 0.005). Correlations betweenquestion scores were made using Kendall’s Tau-b. Of the 12 questions on the questionnaire, 3were significantly different between the MEA and homework. Specifically, students found theMEA to be more frustrating, had more choice in how to complete the MEA, and felt the MEAbetter related to their career goals. When ranking items, competence, purpose, and extrinsicmotivation were ranked significantly higher compared to community and autonomy. Correlationsindicated that students enjoyed the project more when they learned the content (τ

Data were not collected from students who opted out of the study.Student focus groupsFocus groups were conducted by two third-party observers from the University of VirginiaCenter for Teaching Excellence who were not affiliated with the course. Pizza and soft drinkswere provided during the focus group interviews. Focus group questions were open-ended andgave students the opportunity to expand on their experiences in the course (Appendix B). Focusgroups were recorded and later transcribed for qualitative analysis.Invitations to participate in the focus groups were sent to all students in

of each DesignHeuristic card, there is a title of the strategy, a graphic image, and a description of the heuristic(Figure 1). The back of each card provides two example products where the heuristic is evident,demonstrating how the heuristic can be applied to multiple products. One of these example isalways a seating device, and the other example is a consumer product, represented by a variety ofproducts throughout the set of 77 cards.Figure 1. Design Heuristic card #50, Provide Sensory Feedback. (a) Front features the DesignHeuristic strategy and description with image and text. (b) Back features two examples of how theheuristic can be applied.For example, the Design Heuristic, Provide sensory feedback, prompts the designer to considerhow
features of the assignment include that the students: were tasked to make qualitative recommendations for an open-ended range of possible investments, worked in teams, had access to a techno-economic model with a broad array of variable inputs, and were provided with research indicating legitimate questions regarding efficacy of the product.The project objectives were to: a. provide students an opportunity to practice and become comfortable with decision making with multiple concerns and types of evidence, b. promote student understanding of how a process design (techno-economic model) can be used, and c. enable students’ ability to navigate uncertainty, which is critical for practicing engineers
by a unit exam, students received their scores as well as the answer key immediately after taking the quiz. For each quarterly unit of the course, students were credited either (a) their exam score, or (b) the mean of their quiz scores, whichever was higher toward their final course grade. They were therefore not obligated to take both the quizzes and the exams, but could instead opt not to take the exam if they were satisfied with their weekly quiz scores. 96% of their grade in this section was based on these summative assessments of knowledge and comprehension, while the remaining 4% was based on class participation. The comparatively high-stakes assessments in this section were assumed to induce the testing effect

address some of these issues. After the 2014 changes, the Committee notedthat the reduction in scores for outcomes a, b, and d were a result of the greater flexibility in thenew design project solution, however this decline did not persist. Overall scores in the last twoyears for sophomores have been high (above four, which is the benchmark expectation for seniorperformance). A potential major contributing factor beyond the course improvements isconsistency – all students in BME 201 have very similar experiences, i.e., same client, sameadvisor, same project and same resources. The students are allowed to explore and develop theirideas within these confines, thus eliminating any complicating factors or influences onperformance due to varying
pounds of force on a volunteer’s deltoids). What is the benefit of such a design?” The same question was asked on the quizzes in 2012, 2014 and 2015. “How many unknowns can one have in a 2D equilibrium problem (without being statically indeterminate)? How many in a 3D equilibrium problem? Explain why we can only have this many unknowns.” And “For vectors a and b, what is the difference between a x b and b x a? Why is it important for calculating moments?” These exact same two questions were given in 2012.Statistics: Results from the three offerings were compared using one-way ANOVA on ranks withp<0.05 considered significant.

One of the lastworkshops of the residency program is a design challenge, where students draw from their priorlearning to come up with solutions to healthcare problems they’ve observed in their clinicalworkshops. The final week of the course is used to integrate themes across the course.Figure 3: Details of the online structure for Module 2 on Myocardial Contractility and the EKG.Each module has one week of online preparation, and one day of the on-site residency.

format. Students were assigned randomly into four groups at the beginning of the semester. Twoof the groups (1 & 2) watched the new lectures, and two of the groups (3 & 4) watched the original75-minute lectures (n1=14, n2=16, n3=15, and n4=17). Groups 1 and 4 took version A for the pre-test, and version B for the post-test; whereas, groups 2 and 3 took version B as the pre-test andversion A as the post test. Each quiz had four questions regarding content presented in both of thevideo lecture formats. After completing the pre-test students were directed to watch the firstlecture, or set of lectures, and then return to take the post quiz. After completing the second post-quiz, students were asked to complete the attitudinal survey
