particular engineering disciplines.Several challenges arise when designing and implementing team-based engineering designprojects in FYE courses. First, the technical concepts involved must be appropriately scaled tothe novice level. Mechanically-oriented product design projects are particularly popular in FYEcourses for this reason, as they leverage students’ existing content knowledge of geometry andphysical science concepts from high school. Second, logistical requirements of the project, e.g.,required materials or software, and instructor supervision or training, must fit within theconstraints of the FYE course. Although the product design process can culminate in either aphysical or virtual prototype (i.e., “paper design”), hands-on fabrication

is to teach fundamentalconcepts of neural function with an emphasis on quantitative analysis. Originally, this class wascreated as a lecture only class based on a traditional neuroscience class. However, it has beenshown that students learn more effectively when the concepts are demonstrated through eitherhands-on or computer simulated laboratory modules. In order to enhance the learningexperience, several laboratory modules and computer simulations were incorporated into theBME 445 class. Students found the modules enjoyable and helpful to deepen theirunderstanding of the material. Overall, it was beneficial to introduce these hands-onexperimental modules into a traditional neural science class for the BME students.IntroductionWhat is hands
