The importance of developing teamwork skills in college is emphasized by ABETas one of the primary “a through k” objectives: an ability to function on a multi-disciplinaryteam. Both problem-based learning and cooperative learning provide the essential skills requiredfor ABET accredited programs [10, 11].

This approach aligns student assessment with the intendedcourse outcomes, rather than the traditional score-based grading. Advantages of this techniqueinclude real-time assessment of progress towards relevant skills, shifting students towardsfocusing on the learning rather than on earning a grade, and providing a means for programassessment.1,2 This technique has been implemented extensively in K-12, but we are just nowbeginning to assess its use in engineering in higher education.

Interaction buttons may be toosmall or close together to activate. Additionally, due to the need to use a wheelchair and special bodypositioning padding, the child may not be able to reach the toys. In order to provide some level of access,toys can be modified so that they can be activated through the use of “ability switches.” Many childrenwith disabilities have access to these switches that they use for communication, alerting or other activities.While

Beyond that, students discussed the ability to connect howthey see themselves as a biomedical engineer and a general interest in the work and non-careerrelated opportunities available to them through their co-curriculars. While the discussion of costwas minimal in our study, time was also a factor for students’ decision to participate in co-curriculars.
