with minimal collaboration opportunities. This course was alsochosen because biomedical engineering is a rapidly growing and emergent field [10] thatchallenges educators to prepare students for its evolving landscape. Lastly, tissue mechanics wasselected because it consists of complex concepts that students have difficulty understanding suchas mechanics of materials. The initial data collection consisted of a survey administered toundergraduate biomedical engineering students in the selected tissue mechanics class. Thesurvey consisted of questions that inquired about the current conditions of the course. The surveyinstrument of questions included such items as: “Why do you think these topics have beendifficult and what about them do you find

To assess student perceptions of thenew curriculum intervention, reflections were collected and qualitatively analyzed resulting in 3overarching themes, including creativity in user-centered design, time management, andcommunication/collaboration. These themes demonstrate that students felt they acquired orexpanded skills that are considered vital in a work environment. Therefore, applying this projectexperience on a larger scale can alleviate some of the unpreparedness that engineering studentsfeel as they leave school and enter the workforce.
