c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Student Outcomes from rapidly flipping a large-scale biomedical electronics courseBackground & GoalsAlthough there has been a steady growth of student-centered teaching practices, prior to Covid-19 global pandemic many university professors still favored a teacher-centered learningenvironment. While professors would occasionally have “clicker questions” to check forunderstanding during the class time, most courses were widely devoted to transcribing notes. Therapid transition to online learning formats permitted a seismic shift to more student-centeredlearning approaches. Our undergraduate Biomedical Electronics course already recognized theneed to

Branding of Engineering Technology Programs Arizona State University at the Polytechnic campus Mesa, ArizonaAbstract The paper focuses on pros and cons related to the branding of EngineeringTechnology (ET) Programs. Two frequent topics among leaders of ET programsare how to educate others (prospective students, prospective employers of ETgraduates, and the community) about what engineering technology is all aboutand how to differentiate between engineering technology programs and traditionalengineering programs. Engineering Technology faculty and students face thesechallenges on a regular basis. This paper seeks to address the question can thispaper initiate a dialogue among the

On the activation side of our research, we are fabricating nitinol staggered muscle arrays that mimic skeletal muscle and we have recently demonstrated over 30% compression in our SMA’s similar to muscle bun- dles. Our approach to design is simple, following FDA guidelines and suggestions from the start, look at what the user needs and/or wants and apply a unique solution.
