Through cooperative programs with Shriners Hospital, Baystate Medical (.Tufts), Monsanto Chemical Co., and (for certain devices) NASA Technology Utilization, students from Western New England College, School of Engineering enter into design experiences which have as their goal the solution (via bioengineering and biophysics) of problems unique to the handicapped individuals. The experience related in this paper is that of an engineering professor’s teaching involvement in this merger of physics,bioengineering, industry, government, and student/patient in one of the most rewarding experiences the author has observed in overthirty years of his career.

In Fall 2015 the college had 220 full-timefaculty, 35 were members of minorities and 13 were international. At this time 17 percent of ourU.S. students identify as students of color (Hispanic/Latino, 6 percent; Asian-American, 4percent; African-American, 5 percent; multiracial, 2 percent) [9]. In 2015 our engineeringdivision college was recognized by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) forits commitment to diversity and inclusivity. At this time the student body within the engineeringdivision consisted of 36% women and nearly 25% identified within the underrepresented group,approximately double the national average [10].Over the

fortraditionally machined parts. Likewise, costs for prototype designs are expected to bemuch less than for machined parts, with single iterations of an experiment costing only afew dollars for materials and processing.A significant advantage of producing educational hardware using 3-D printers driven byCAD software is that many undergraduate mechanical engineering students now learn touse these commercial tools in introductory engineering courses (freshman and sophomorelevel design classes). As a result we are able to include undergraduate students in thedesign and fabrication of hardware. Thus, students using the experiments are able to seeand understand exactly how that hardware is designed and manufactured. In addition, itshould soon be possible for

development resources and skilldevelopment before they engage with employers. They need resume and cover letter feedback,interview and pitch practice, and how to follow up and negotiate with employers. None of theseare easy things to do, but every university provides ample opportunities to get feedback on thesethings, and most faculty are willing to help individual students whom they know well with partsof these skills. Most students do not realize it takes an entire skill set to do well when meetingwith employers, but engineering educators can help change that message and help studentsdevelop their careers.AcknowledgmentWe acknowledge Purdue Mechanical Engineering undergraduate student Tyler Werner for hishelp with the development of the criteria
