$100 [2]. This simple device was inexpensive butlimited to tension testing of soft elastic samples due to the design of the tester. With this previousversion, the extension force is applied by the user (students) by pulling downward on a rope. Themajor drawback is that repetition of exact forces is impossible to duplicate. In addition, the originalstrain sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, had relatively low resolution, and was only useful formeasurement of relatively large strains.Here, we describe the creation of upgraded mechanical test frames capable of both uniaxial tensionand compression tests for biomaterials. These new mechanical test frames cost less than $300 each(see the bill of materials in Table 1). The mechanical test frame consists of

This course focuses on development of skills for the late stagesof the engineering design process - prototyping, testing, and iteration – and was shown toincrease engineering design self-efficacy [8]. Individual training was provided in a variety offabrication techniques and other skills that we judge to be valuable to the engineering designprocess as it pertains to medical devices. These included: 1. Embedded controllers and basic electronics 2. CAD, mechanical drawings, and FE simulation 3. 3D printing 4. Soldering and de-soldering of circuits 5.

all BME programs [20]–[22]. In 2006, ananalysis of 37 ABET accredited BME programs, showed that the BME programs were functionallyconverging on a broad core curriculum. [19]. They found that at least 75% of BME programs 2required courses in physiology, biology, mechanics, circuit analysis, computing, materials science,instrumentation, and statistics [19]. VaNTH’s efforts were motivated by the need to align BME core curriculum with industryneeds, thus clarifying what can be expected from BME graduates [20], [22]. While the breadth ofclasses taken in BME has been seen as a strength to some, it also became a contentious point withregard to

The intention of these practices isto select for only academically prepared and highly committed students. However some evidencesuggests the weed-out tradition selects against students on a full spectrum of talent and academicpreparedness [2], [3]. In addition, there is evidence that women and under-represented minorities(URM) are affected negatively by this approach [2].In addition to the explicit exclusion factors, suchas those implemented in EMPs, implicit exclusionfactors have been an area of study.
