Students worked in groups to identify anopportunity and customer’s needs, create a business model, brainstorm and communicate anengineering solution to an open-ended question. The quantitative results from student surveysshowed significant advancement in technical and most of the EM skills. The qualitativeresponses indicated improved student engagement through hands-on product analysis. Therefore,improving the students’ ability to solve problems of societal relevance and work cohesively as ateam. After a successful implementation of this module, it is expected to make it morestakeholder centric for other engineering courses

At the end of the program,the Scholars were 90% ± 6 certain of becoming physicians (no significant change from thebeginning, p=0.4), and 81% ± 5 certain of becoming engineers (p=0.05). The effect size forincreasing interest in becoming an engineer was large (Cohen’s d=1.1). This is most easilydescribed as the program promoting the development of Clinician Engineers.We also asked participants to estimate the impact of the immersion experience on the abilitydimension of their engineering design self-efficacy – a measure of students’ self-perceived abilityto engage in nine different engineering tasks [10], to which we added “document technicalmatters,” “learn new things,” and “empathize.” There were

The data attained fromlab assignments can remarkably improve students’ understanding of classroom concepts byallowing students to observe the strengths and weakness of various scientific theories.Compared to traditional engineering disciplines (civil, mechanical, etc.), biological engineering(BE) students have been found to have different motivations for entering the engineering field;therefore, it is paramount that the BE engineering education community capitalizes on thisdifference to address the systemically lackluster engineering student retention rate.[1] BE studentsare largely driven to the field for the opportunity to benefit society, which differs compared totraditional engineering majors

Rather than just sitting down for a couple of hours to mindlessly flip through notes orthe book, I set up my study times to accomplish a certain goal, like read and take notes of certainchapters or work on specific example problems.” Similarly, another student stated that “Afterthe first midterm, I focused more on actually understanding the concepts rather than just tryingto do a whole bunch of different problems hoping the methods will stick.”Figure 1.

The pre-quiz was administered after the lectures covering the topics but prior to thelab, in order to isolate the impact of the lab. The pre-quiz was not returned to students and nofeedback was given. The post-quiz was administered after completion of the lab. Data fromstudents who scored

Building self-efficacy (self-perceived ability to successfully engage in a task) 2. Encouraging idea generation 3. Instructing and assessing creativity 4. Rewarding creative ideas and productsWe enacted in a design class the above four approaches to promoting the development ofcreative thinking. Students were enrolled in either a fall or a spring section of a BME designcourse based on development of software and fabrication skills. One of the sections includeddaily, brief creativity exercises with non-academic rewards. On the first day of class and

1998 by Walvoord and Anderson. Lage, Platt, and Treglia proposed a similar approach called theinverted classroom and applied it to an introductory economics course in 2000 [1]. Despite the growingpopularity of the flipped classroom model in higher education, this model has received less attention inengineering [2]. The need for engineering graduates to be able to solve real-world problems and work in teamssuggests the merit in flipping engineering courses. However, currently limited research exists on the impact ofthe flipped classroom model in engineering education [3].Recognized advantages of a flipped classroom include positive gains in problem-solving skills, conceptualunderstanding, student retention, and student satisfaction [4

engineering, for example: it is already guiding research in rehabilitation engineering[15–17], the development of electronic health records [18], the placement of automated externaldefibrillators [19,20], and supporting evidence-informed decision-making in softwareengineering [21].Graduate students need to be able to communicate the implications of their work effectively anddescribe how their work will have meaning and impact. To these objectives, criteria (based onthe principles of knowledge translation) and basic questions [22] can be posed to graduatestudents, for example:  For whom is my research meaningful? How can I involve these people in my research to improve outcomes?  How can I ensure that the right people know about my
