Mentorship is one way to help bothstudents and mentors maintain engagement in these fields. Though some research exists aboutmentorship between professors

These workshops provide both contentand process knowledge needed to develop modules that incorporate current HPL learning theory(Bransford, et al.1), integrate technology , and guide the participants in developing modules fortheir own courses.Workshops generally were constructed along the following lines: • Participants assessed their personal goals for the workshop. • Workshop leaders briefly reviewed results from previous use of HPL Legacy Cycle class lessons to establish credentials for workshop. • Workshop leaders briefly reviewed HPL theory and Legacy

/education researchers are familiar with content imparted in the classroom, andthis facilitates their education research. However, effective engineering education research isdifferent. Few learning scientists have the content knowledge to know where students might behaving difficulty, and lack the experience to know what skills and mental habits engineeringstudents need to possess by the time they graduate. In turn, few engineering faculty are good atanalyzing their own teaching methods, recognizing how people learn, or designing studies thatrely on social science research methods. Through the collaboration of learning scientists andengineers, these disparate skills have been brought together. As discussed extensively in otherpublications from VaNTH

Page 15.765.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Integrating Hands-On Design Experiences into the CurriculumAbstractIn many Biomedical Engineering (BME) programs, design is a key component throughout thecurriculum. This may involve a combination of design problems on paper, a reverse engineeringproject, education in design methods, and hands-on fabrication experiences. In the BMEprogram at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, our goal is to also provide morehands-on design opportunities in the laboratory and machine shop. We accomplished this bycreating new courses for a “design sequence” and by collaborating with an existing, requiredcourse.The design sequence consists of four courses that span the final

Considering these biomedical engineering students were workingin teams during their biomechanics laboratory experience, assessing the effectiveness ofelectronic lab notebooks on collaboration may also yield useful information.
