Engineering DesignProgramConstanza Miranda, PhD 1*, Elizabeth Logsdon, PhD 1, Amadea Martino Smith 11 Johns Hopkins University, Biomedical Engineering DepartmentABSTRACTThis is a work in progress. To instruct design abilities in undergraduate engineering students, it iscommon for programs to engage in problem-based learning projects. In addition, project-based instructionis often done with students in teams and these teams have formal or informal leadership structures. In thiscontext, the success of the student project is usually attributed to the mindset of the leader, managementstyles, team dynamics that are cultivated by the leader, as well as a clear team structure and goals. Thisvertically operating leadership model is manifested as an
. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024Engineering Design Integrated Tissue Engineering Course Module: Scleraxis Tendon Bioreactor Project Abstract Increased exposure to engineering design projects during undergraduate engineeringeducation has gained attraction over the past years. In addition to the capstone senior design courseofferings, Biomedical Engineering programs increasingly incorporate standalone engineeringdesign courses into the curriculum as early as freshman year. These promising attempts emphasizethe importance of reinforcing engineering design practices. However, it is still a challenge toaccommodate engineering design projects into field-specific courses
several levels of design across different programs. This includes Capstone in theBachelors (BS) program, Professional Capstone in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program,and the Capstone Projects course in the College of Medicine. Having multiple disconnected levelsof design presents numerous challenges, such as sourcing projects, structuring the scope ofprojects, and sharing resources both physical and personnel related. As a result, we elected todevelop a shared resource model for projects across these programs to meet the needs of eachprogram and to enhance the learning experience and professional preparation for students. In thisnew model, medical students develop projects based on needs identified during clinical rotations.Medical students

However, given the diversity of such programsacross the country concerning resources available, such as proximity to a major medical school,teaching hospital, active residency programs, etc., it is challenging to derive a universal "one sizefits all" approach for such a course, as well as challenges in reporting their efficacy [6–8].

IBL Biomedical Engineering program at the sameinstitution, University of North Dakota. These students were recruited across three IBL Anatomyand Physiology for Engineers courses, with 115 students across all three classes. This bias limitsthe overall understanding of the broader population of UG students and graduate-studentinteraction in IBL programs. Another limitation is that not all UG students filled out everyquestion in their survey; seven responses included at least one unanswered question. Theseincomplete surveys may hinder the validity of the data. Lastly, the UG survey did not capturedata related to whether the UG students had online or in-person graduate students on their teams.Due to this, the study is unable to make comparisons
