taken to teach students about the various tools and supplies through traditionallecture methods. Unfortunately, these models tend to compartmentalize topics within students’ minds whichcan be especially problematic in the context of Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering(hereafter referred to as Bioengineering). Bioengineering programs tend to be extremely broad,encompassing chemical, electrical, material science, and mechanical engineering elements, aswell as computer science. Oftentimes, students take lab classes, for example related to molecularbiology, in a specific lab meant only for that area of study. A different lab class dealing with adifferent field would then be done in a different lab. The challenge with these models is

Although the dependency onincreasingly complex devices will continue to grow, some knowledge principles and basic skills needto be taught in order to prevent a total dependency on many narrowly specialized professionals.Narrow specialization inevitably brings about a risk of not thinking in terms of a whole system and adifficulty in communication with specialists from other disciplines. There are strong voices inacademic community calling to provide solid interdisciplinary knowledge to all graduates [2].

One challenge of this aspect of authenticity is that evenwith a conducive environment and activity, authentic relationships involve a reciprocal processinvolving both self-disclosure alongside mutual intimacy and trust. It may be possible to form acommon identity in a cohort to create automated connections through mutual exposure to newenvironments. This may be easier in some disciplines like engineering where programdevelopment is more linear than with program options with less scheduled course deployment;this affords more repeated interactions together, opportunities to build relationships.Elements of classroom operation that may augment the relational orientation of authenticity ismost likely given through

Theprimary problem seems to be that students who are having difficulties with a topic easily becomefrustrated as a result of misconceptions of process and erroneous facts. Misconceptions ofprocess are usually incomplete or incorrect steps related to the problem solving process.While, as educators, we are very familiar with the problem process for different problems, it isonly because we have solved several thousand problems of a particular type.

Finite element analysis theory provides an op-portunity to cement ideas from earlier coursework. However, heavy programming assignmentsmay not be the best way to communicate these concepts with this demographic of student. Solid-Works Simulation software has significant potential to help convey concepts as well as to provideexperience with the practical application of the finite element method. For one, students alreadyhave comfort with SolidWorks as a solid modeling tool from Freshman design courses. Anotheradvantage is that there is an abundance of resources with case studies that demonstrate concepts.However, translating some FEA

The University of Idaho requires a two-semester senior level course sequence focusing entirely on designissues. Students develop skills in open-ended problem solving, identifying solution options, and maximizingresources under constraints.
