Given that these were two of the main goals for the course, it is a positive sign the student perception of the course matches thedesigned intent of the course. This is backed up by student comments when asked what they likedabout the course, which included: • “Actually applying mathematics to real-world engineering situations” • “The best part about this course was mostly just learning the Calculus and engineering skills, confirming to me that this is what I want to do with my life and I want to become an engineering.” • “Covering electronic circuits because I learned about them in AP physics in Highschool and I plan to be an

Universities have largely providedthe science and engineering curricula and research support driving the technical capabilities andaspirations of delivering these innovations for broad clinical use. However, engineeringcurricula have fallen woefully short for one particular consideration, namely, the explosion ofnew or changing regulations, and their impact and application throughout all critical stages of thebiomedical product development lifecycle and, holistically, throughout the technical biomedicalbusiness. This deficiency grounds the failure of universities to consistently and reliably bridgethe gap between what the engineer learns in school and what they must do on the job in aregulated industry, to

One of our problems with the present generation is that students tend not to be asphysically active as they were in previous generations. We have fewer “farm boys” and “shadetree mechanics” coming in as freshmen. They may never have siphoned water, played with“friction motor” cars, or gyroscopes.
