identify three core themes related to incorporatingarts, entrepreneurship, and bio-inspired design in technical engineering classes: (1) creativity andfree-thinking, (2) time management, and (3) communication in teamwork. (1) Encouraging Creative User-Centered DesignSeveral students acknowledged that creativity in solving complex problems is necessary forsuccess in engineering. Furthermore, the students added that some of the creative skills related tovisual design are often overlooked in engineering subjects, while a greater emphasis on suchskills is very important. The students agreed that the inclusion of arts in engineering projectscould encourage creativity and free-thinking and allow them to produce user-centered products.“The stereotype

(NSF I-Corps) with a Biomedical Engineering class using Innovation-Based Learning (IBL). This work will explain how a multi-student-led project advancingrepetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) participated in a Regional NSF I-Corpscohort. The project team consisted of both graduate and undergraduate students in a hands-on,authentic engineering learning environment. This study aims to document the experience of thiseducational approach by conducting interviews with student team members, instructors of theIBL program, and an industry mentor from the NSF I-Corps program. The research methodologyinvolves semi-structured interviews with a qualitative and quantitative analysis to betterunderstand the various groups involved in this
Board and was approved as a Quality Improvement project (IRB#232075).The survey responses to the multiple-choice questions from each class were recorded in aspreadsheet with response identifiers, course information, and answers. The Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) method was used to compare the proportion of correct answers from each BME class(2900W, 3900W, 4901W) to the objective questions in these tests. The Tukey Honest SignificantDifference (TukeyHSD) test was performed to make pairwise comparisons between individualvariables. These were computed using the stats package in R-4.3.1.Preliminary Results: Table 1 reports results from student performance on nine objectivequestions. Q3-Q7 asked students to identify sources of information to consult

the engineering profession, cultivating an innovative spirit from an early age can be aformidable task. Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a program dedicated to transformative STEMteaching for K-12 students, focuses on skills relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship such asproblem-solving and critical thinking. The PLTW program, however, has a limited focus on thehumanities which is presumed to turn women and minoritized populations away from STEM [2].In university-level engineering programs, with the heavy technical curricular demands, inclusionof coursework dedicated to innovation and creativity may not always be perceived as logisticallypossible. Allocating valuable course time that help engineers recognize opportunities and createvalue
, students viewed the course favorably. They found the non-traditional course structure highly interactive and engaging. Students identified the guestspeakers as what they liked best, as the speakers exposed them to aspects of the BME professionthey had not considered. The course structure, in particular the approach to teaching CAD,helped students learn the required course material. Students would have liked more opportunitiesfor CAD and hands-on, physical design. Students’ expectations about the course based on thecourse title and the actual content were not always aligned. As explained by a student: “When I heard design, I was like, ‘Oh, like building CAD’ which was incorporated into the class. I think in my mind going into it, I definitely
timeframe or the narrow expertise of their peers. These insights suggest that a modifiedsession format for the senior students should be developed, prototyped, and iterated over futuresemesters. One such change was implemented during the online learning semesters of thepandemic where the Show and Tell was adapted into an online discussion post in Piazza. Here,each team (all classes mixed together) could upload a representative figure or image of theirprototype to assist with their call to action. Posts were also tagged with a category(instrumentation, mechanics, materials, imaging, optics, sciences, fabrication, testing, marketing)to facilitate matching expertise with the problems.
