The student-teacher participates in all aspects of course planning,lesson planning, and student assessments with opportunities for reflective self-assessment andstructured feedback from faculty and student-teacher peers from lesson observations. Thispresentation will provide perspectives on the teaching practicum experience of a student-teacher,supervising faculty mentor, and students in a sophomore-level computational fundamentals ofbiomedical engineering design laboratory course.

University of New Mexico Introduction and MethodsIn STEM education, educators and industry leaders alike emphasize hands-on laboratory researchexperience during undergraduate education as a way for students to gain skills as technicians andresearchers​1,2​. Undergraduate research promotes retention in STEM fields and serves as a pathway tograduate school and science careers​2,3​. For some undergraduate students, however, the process ofengaging in research can be chaotic, confusing, and discouraging, which limits the value of theirexperiences [2]. However, positive undergraduate research experiences can be a key to studentgrowth and success. Effective mentorship and guidance can impact outcomes of undergraduatestudent

Some students have a blurred idea of what is academic dishonesty, especially onhomework7. In many places, homework is not a substantial part of the grade so it is acceptable toreceive online help on homework.8 Some instructors avoid traditional homework and use projects toassess student learning, yet it appears the online tutors are available to not only solve problems butwrite papers and laboratory reports. There appears to be a growing market for online tutoring servicesto help students solve

Consequently, women receive less financial support and encouragement forhigher education than their male siblings. Even teachers have greater expectations in theeducation of male than female students. Because of their gender, female students face curfews attheir hostels and at home. As a result, female students are unable to stay in laboratories longer tocomplete group projects and network with male peers. During job placements on campus, it iscommon for employers to ask whether female students have

Most programs have been using the results of student performance on specificproblems, laboratory experiments, design projects, or other types of reports as primary directmeasurement for assessing student outcomes. Other instruments such as results of thefundamentals of engineering (FE) exam and student surveys are used as secondary instrumentsfor the assessment of student outcomes.
