Students are givenaccess to guidelines, a template, an outline, and samples as a starting point for creating theirposters. Students are typically judged three times. Judges come primarily from academia,including faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate alumni of the course; students areguaranteed one judge from each category.

and by the end of one semester, undergraduates will write at a level comparable toentry-level graduate students.Background Bioengineering Mechanics I is a junior level course for biomedical engineering majors (BME),and Orthopaedic Biomechanics is a cross-listed course for both senior level mechanicalengineering majors (ME) and graduate students from a variety of backgrounds including BME andME. Both courses take place over a 14-week semester (Fall 2012-2015). In both courses, studentscomplete four lab exercises. Each lab explores concepts in statics, mechanics of materials, andorthopaedic biomechanics. Because the focus in the lab is primarily technical, little formal writinginstruction (i.e., lecture) is presented to the students; instead

Wisconsin-Madison has a longhistory of offering a variety of introductory multi-disciplinary freshman engineering courses.Our most popular course, Intro 160, was a 3 credit course with a hands-on client-based designlab and a seminar style lecture. Recently, our college has decided to end all centrally fundedmulti-disciplinary freshman engineering courses, primarily due to budget cuts, and chargeddepartments with the task of developing and funding their own freshman engineering courses.We developed a new freshman multi-disciplinary hands-on design course to take the place of themost popular freshman engineering course, Intro 160.Approximately half (about 525 engineering freshmen) of our engineering college departments(Biomedical Engineering (35

More specifically,concept maps enable students to internalize the information they have learned, identify the keyconcepts, and document relationships between these key concepts by drawing physicalconnections between them1, 2, 5. Through concept mapping, the focus of the classroom shifts fromtraditional lecture to an active learning environment2, 7. Concept maps encourage students to beconscious of their learning style2, 7 and to determine which aspects of the material are difficultfor them1-3. Further, concept mapping has shown to be effective in increasing studentengagement and learning in many studies1, 2, 3, 6 as well as lead to more efficient use of classroomtime by more clearly understanding topics students need to be clarified7

Bioengineering Capstone ReportsIn addition to technical skill development, engineering undergraduate curricula must also fosterdevelopment of effective communication skills. The capstone report often plays an instrumentalrole in this development, as it comprises both the final assessment of student communicationperformance and it is the most significant opportunity for active learning of in-disciplinecommunication skills. Peer review has been proposed as an ideal means to provide students withmuch-needed formative feedback.1–3 In addition, peer review has the potential to increase studentinterpersonal communication skills and metacognition, provided that the review activity isstructured to encourage constructive contributions and reflection.In this

They completetheir junior and senior years at IRE. The curriculum consists of 60 credits, including 32technical, 12 design, and 16 professionalism credits. After completing these 60 credits, thestudents graduate with a Bachelor of Science in engineering from Minnesota State University,Mankato. If they complete 12 out of 32 technical credits in a specific engineering discipline (i.e.electrical, mechanical, biomedical, etc.) they earn an emphasis in that discipline.3. Project Approach3.1

Supplemental Training CurriculumThe design projects require the students to have and to learn diverse skills for successful projectcompletion. Not necessarily all the students have already learned the necessary technical skillsfrom their academic coursework when working on these projects. Thus a need for a supplementaltraining curriculum was identified by the more experienced students who acted as StudentFacilitators (SFs) to specifically meet the needs of the BME students for their design projects.

MethodsIn order to facilitate foreign study experiences, the first step was to examine theflowcharts for the bioengineering curriculum. Classes were then rearranged in order toallow for one semester in either the sophomore or junior year in which there were nobioengineering (BME-prefixed) courses. Once the flowcharts had been rearranged, anextensive search for international universities that offered these classes was performed.Universities were examined and selected based on the availability of technical classes andwhether or not classes could be taken in English.

However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to

The information is transmitted via an electrical cable (3). This information is transmitted wirelessly across the skin through a two-way telemetry link (4). The internal receiver (5) uses this information to construct current pulses that are delivered by the electrode array (6) to auditory nerve elements (7) that lead to the perception of sound.For a lab exercise the students are required to write MATLAB code that mimics the operation ofthe signal processor.
