engineering students were expected to work with first-year medical students todevelop innovative solutions for clinical problems. Faculty members from both institutes servedas mentors for student projects. The education objectives are twofold: (1) to develop the criticalthinking skills and independent research ability by solving engineering problems throughauthentic projects, and (2) to increase students’ non-cognitive learning outcomes such ascommitment and engagement with engineering, communication (writing and presentation skills),self-efficacy, and teamwork in a multidisciplinary environment. The first class of this biomedical innovation course started in the fall of 2021. The completeteaching plan comprises two consecutive courses in fall and

The primary product of the INSE Program is the student. In this regard, INSEgraduates will: o Be highly competent in mathematical understanding o Develop a systems-oriented approach to problem analysis o Be aware of process design, as well as product design o Possess and be able to apply problem-solving skills o Be effective in all segments of society o Possess decision-making skills o Be able to solve new problems, in unfamiliar areas, as well as solve old, familiar ones o Be able to apply their INSE skills in a wide variety of areas: engineering, management

Thevalence of approach refers to a student’s willingness to engage in a particular learning behavior.Approach-oriented goals are associated with higher learning outcomes and higher self-efficacybecause students set goals to achieve academic challenges [7]. Avoidance goals refer to studentsstriving to meet expectations primarily to avoid failure or negative consequences. Paired, this model creates four distinct orientations: mastery approach, performanceapproach, mastery avoidance, and performance avoidance.

of engineering doctorates awarded by U.S. universities to U.S. citizens dropped by 23% in the past decade.*The first of these statistics fails to support the point that engineering enrollments are “going inthe wrong direction,” because it describes only the proportion of degrees awarded. A decline inthe proportion of degrees awarded does not necessarily indicate a decline in the number ofdegrees awarded. The second item obfuscates the point by aggregating engineering withmathematics, physical sciences, and geosciences. The third is simply irrelevant, as the numberof doctorates awarded has little relationship to the number of engineering students in four-yearcolleges and has no impact on engineering licensure.Figure 1, produced by the
