the college Information Technology and Engineering Computer Services (ITECS),Academic Affairs and the college assessment committee, and it demonstrates a wider collegecommitment to supporting and enhancing assessment processes. The purpose of the programassessment tool and database is to provide a 'one-stop' destination through which faculty cancreate assessment matrices and tasks, enter assessment data, generate results, interpret findingsand write reports. Overall, it is a tool to manage the assessment processes of each engineeringprogram. Also, administrators are able to monitor the progress of individual programs againsttheir assessment plans.Throughout the development of the tool, the authors of this paper had bi-weekly meetings withthe
the evolving needs of biomedical engineers, creating outreach activities that build knowledge and appreciation of the field of biomedical engineering, and managing the ABET assessment program for the Weldon School of Biomedical Engi- neering.

problems for a real client, 2.exploring the leading edges of the field, and 3. learning strategies to solve novel problems.Our challenge has been to turn teenagers straight out of high school into individuals with a realappreciation, based on experience, of what it takes to be an engineer. To this end, the course isorganized as a company, Blue Genes Research and Development, and our students are formedinto project teams, each assigned to a client, a specialist physician at the University of MichiganHospitals. Each team must work with the physician to develop a diagnostic test to detect adisease before the onset of symptoms. Course material emphasizes the fundamental doctrines ofsystems biology, the central role of quantification in design and
foundations. He is an active contributor to many profes- sional societies and review panels, including the NSF, VentureWell, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS), and the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) where he is currently the Chair of the Student Affairs Committee. He was a recent guest editor with the Annals of Biomedical Engineering, developing a special issue on Design Innovation in Biomed- ical Engineering, and is a business and educational program development consultant with the Coulter Foundation, advising NIH NIBIB SBRI awardees in technology translation.

It has been recognized in academia and industry alike that engineersrequire an ever-broadening skill set in order to function competitively. Considering theincreasingly globalized nature of the industry, an understanding of other cultures andstrong cross-cultural communication skills will prove invaluable. Understandably

We have chosen to assess both criteria in a similar manner andhave included Criterion 8 in this assessment by adding additional program outcomes that addressthe program criteria specific for biomedical engineering. Thus, graduates of the BiomedicalEngineering Program will have: (3a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, (3b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (3c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social

manufacturing process for a smallassembly, including part design, rapid prototyping, engineering drawings, and hands-onfabrication. The first step in this process is to create a model of each part in a CAD program andbring the parts into an assembly to check if all parts fit together properly. The second step is tocreate a rapid prototype of the device, building all parts separately and then assembling thedevice and making sure that all the parts fit together properly. Finally, the device is fabricatedusing conventional machine shop tools. Specifically in this project, we focus on a manualmilling machine, and give an overview on other types of machines.At the conclusion of the project, each team must produce a memo that is distributed to the
