engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the

Students’ responses show that there is a lack of (1)time to process the information received, (2) debriefing of material content to prevent cognitiveoverload, (3) application to real-world scenarios, and (4) critical analysis of theoretical principlesto practical implementation. We argue that argumentation in the classroom through acombination of in-person and digital critical reflexivity can allow students to achieve theseobjectives when learning about tissue mechanics. The implementation of pedagogicalinterventions that allow for socialization in person and virtually promises different avenueswhere critical reflexivity can happen.

Using coding and modeling as a tool also exposes students to awider range of applications for computer programming and provides them with opportunities toapply computational thinking to real-world applications. We plan to continue innovating ourcourse and move towards more accessible tools, such as Jupyter Notebooks, CVSim [8], andCircAdapt [9], as platforms for enhanced learning of cardiovascular function in BME curricula.
