The lab sessions givestudents opportunities to design, build, test and refine their project efforts. The students typicallybegin our program with very little experience building biomedical devices. To get the studentsstarted and to establish their confidence in the lab, the first set of sessions involve a series ofwell-defined laboratory activities to enhance the students’ understanding of their biomedicalproblems of interest.

Entrepreneurship programs, in the form ofcertificate programs and minors, as well as stand-alone courses, have been initiated in manyuniversities and colleges across the country.Both entrepreneurship and engineering design are being studied extensively by engineeringeducation researchers. As the study of these domains develops, researchers need to define thegoals and objectives of these disciplines and build pedagogical models to guide instructionalpractice, a point that Fiet and Mars made about the state of entrepreneurship education.4, 5 Part ofdeveloping pedagogical models of a domain includes understanding faculty beliefs andperceptions about that domain.

This approach notes that canvases are high level representations ofunderlying complex systems. As alluded to above, these complex systems can be businessmodels, but they can also be products, devices, or manufacturing and supply systems. Briefly, acanvas is constructed by selecting interrelated elements of system models that represent theunderlying real systems

 Learning How Engineering Design and Construction Differ Between CulturesThe students discovered and came to appreciate that engineering design and construction is notdone the same way in all cultures (Table 5). All three team members from RHIT indicated thatthe most frustrating part of the project was trying to get information needed to perform thedesign: site data, preferred construction methods, and social norms that might impact designchoices. One student pointed out “It was important for us to try and understand how the localresidents would use our design solutions and then pick the solutions that would be mostsustainable for them. In many cases, the design solutions varied greatly from the solutions wewould have chosen if we were designing

It is not just anenvironmental challenge; it intersects with issues of equity, justice, and global development.Recent studies indicate that engineering students may not fully grasp the significance of non-technical aspects related to climate change and how these aspects relate to their engineering work[3, 4]. Moreover, engineering students often fail to bridge the gap between the technical aspectsof engineering and its social dimensions [5, 6]. Recognizing

Inproject-based learning (PBL), for example, Dym, et al (2005) proposed the questions related toissues of authenticity and assessment. In one of the questions about “proportions of problems”they shed light on the “problem solving” as one of the key characteristics in design thinking,teaching and learning.
