. Instructor, peer,and self evaluations were compared. There was a strong linear correlation between instructorevaluation and peer evaluation (r = 0.60, regression model ANOVA P<0.0002). In contrast,there were poor linear correlations between instructor and self evaluations and between peer andself evaluations (r < 0.25, regression model ANOVA P>0.2). These results suggest that studentsmay be better able to technically evaluate others’ work, rather than their own. Studentsperceived the peer evaluation process as generally helpful, although they noted that their peers’comments were less specific and occasionally inconsistent with their instructor’s feedback.Students reported on surveys that peer evaluation was effective in helping them to

Design Heuristic cards were divided before the session into twosets of 5 (“A” and “B”) to include a variety but limited number of cards appropriate to the timelimit (See Table 1).

CourseOverall, the goal of this course was to expose incoming freshmen students to the principles ofengineering design and technical writing, while also increasing their interest and enthusiasm forengineering. This was a relatively small course with only 7 students, providing a lot of directinstructor interaction with the students. Both student groups for the arthrogryposis projectsproduced successful low-fidelity prototypes as shown in figure 1 below. Student performance onthe written and oral communication assignments resulted in a class average of 90.9% ± 3.76%,and demonstrated effective student performance. Figure 1.

Modules were aligned with the state's K-12 Science Curriculumintroducing K-12 students to the basic concepts of bioengineering. Additional module goalsincluded increasing K-12 student 1) knowledge of math and science; 2) awareness of andappreciation for the field of engineering; 3) ability to link this knowledge to real-lifeexperiences; and 4) capacity for scientific engagement in the classroom.

Instructors compiled student ideas intoa class rubric, which students used to guide their evaluation of their classmates’ work. Insubsequent sessions, students performed peer review in small groups, and then the groupsreconvened as a class to share successful writing techniques. Finally, students were prompted toreflect on these successes and use them to generate ideas to improve their own work.The details of the workshop series in three offerings are shown in Table 1. Although the overallstructure of the series was consistent, we modified our approach over the years to makeimprovements based on student feedback and instructor observations (see Assessment section).The

The students were also concerned by the amount of time required toprepare for laboratories for which they had to do research, read technical material written forprofessional engineers, and find on occasion that they had been on the wrong track.Preparation time for inquiry-based laboratories was also a student concern in other studies[4].Our students generally had positive impressions of the collaborative aspects of the initiallaboratory discussions (Figure 2), which mirrors previously reported results[1].As a group, our students were neutral in their assessment of

Interestingly, the 160 multi-disciplinary hands-on designcourse had higher ratings in teaching valuable technical concepts and skills than all other multi-disciplinary courses. These results are consistent with the generally accepted opinion that hands-on activities promote deeper learning. The past 160 course taught the engineering design processthrough hands-on design, where they had the opportunity to apply skills, such as shop training,computer-aided design, and basic physics.

Earlier successful results of the use of CIMT on children haveproved that there is an improvement in the usage of the diseased extremity up to 52.1%,compared to a mere 2.1% in general physical therapies6. As an integral part of CI therapy,the normal arm extremity would be restricted in movements by using a convenient day ornight fiberglass splint.

Nowhere is this truer than in the biomedical engineeringcommunity. As bioengineering instructors, our students often come to us talking about newtechnologies or discoveries they saw in the news. Some news agencies do a better job thanothers of faithfully representing the science and innovation behind these discoveries whileproviding a document that can be understood by the general public.
