Undergraduates are given many opportunities to memorize proceduresfor solving particular types of problems (Woods, 1987). However, this experience doesn’tusually prepare students for solving new types of problems. When doing research in the lab, itseems as if every problem that arises is unique. In addition, most coursework emphasizes gettingthe right answer. A greater

Introduction:As the undergraduate program in Biomedical Engineering was developed at the University ofHartford, a desire was expressed to present the students with the opportunity to understand the Page 6.238.1“Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright© 2001, American Society for Engineering Education”requirements of performing research “in the field”. After examining the more usual internshipprograms, we decided to develop two senior courses to allow students to utilize the skills derivedfrom both their

Professors sometimes propose a computer solution or technique the student doesnot understand; therefore, the student cannot evaluate the accuracy of the results. Without knowledge
