biomedical problems. During biomedical design, a range ofstrategies can be used to identify a problem and to generate and evaluate solutions. At ColumbiaUniversity, we have an established program for teaching biomedical design to undergraduateswhich culminates in our capstone ‘Senior Design’ course. However, no specified designexperience exists for terminal degree BME Master’s students. Design courses are traditionallytaught utilizing a textbook, lectures, and a team design project, with often limited time forinteractions between and among teams and instructors in the classroom. We also recognized thatthe background and educational and professional goals of undergraduates and graduate studentsare unique. Therefore, we saw a valuable opportunity to

Growing evidence shows that hands-on discovery experienceis more effective at teaching complex concepts than traditional lectures.1 The National Academyof Sciences issued a call for SMET courses that enable students to “understand science,mathematics, and engineering as processes of investigation – as ways of knowing; to have hands-on experiences with investigations and to discover the joy and satisfaction of discovery.”1 Webelieve programs of this kind will create undergraduate students who are prepared to become thenew generation of translational researchers.

Moreover, individual studies are, by necessity, limited to specificoperationalizations of cause-effect relationships. An important set of inferences involvethe generality of the results across types of students, materials, topics or content areas,and time. Further, conducting experimental tests of educational innovations in classroomsettings often result in small-sample sizes for intervention and control conditions, makingit difficult to detect effects (due to low statistical power). To summarize what has been learned from this diverse collection of innovations,it was necessary to capture consistent information

Forexample, previous work has utilized a case-based approach to engineering ethics, where studentswere required to solve authentic engineering ethics problems using a set of guidelines thatoverlap with some of the components of the Four A’s strategy. Students needed to consider theperspectives of the different stakeholders involved, generate multiple solutions, and ultimatelydecide upon a “best” solution7. Though quite different from the Four A’s strategy, there is also a“Four Quadrants Model” for decision-making in medical ethics, which provides health careprofessionals with a method of considering all aspects of an ethical issue by considering qualityof life

undergraduate biomedical engineering students to participate in clinicalresearch are limited, and in most cases, offer only individual training. Research opportunitiesusually involve mentoring and it is difficult for faculty to extend themselves beyond one or ahandful of students. Labs are usually equipped with facilities designed for use by only a fewresearchers and often require substantial training and this too, contributes to limiting the amountof students who can participate in research. As a result, most students who participate in clinicalresearch are graduate students, and opportunities for undergraduate participation in clinicalresearch are generally scarce.It is particularly challenging to offer a clinical experience to students in
