The department combined the electrical engineering andinstrumentation courses into a single two-term sequence. In the past, students took a circuitscourse one term and an instrumentation course the next. With this approach, students do not seethe connection between the electrical engineering content and its application to mechanicalengineering. In the new sequence, the electrical engineering and instrumentation are taught side-by-side. Student learn an electrical engineering concept and apply it to a mechanical engineeringproblem in the same week. The course also incorporates labs from other classes. For example

While previous research has developed approaches for assessing the novelty ofbrainstorming outputs, less attention has been paid to the relevant factors that might influencethat novelty. The purpose of the present work is to explore the ways that brainstorming activitystructure and team gender composition might affect the novelty of brainstorming outputs. Toaddress this purpose, we recorded both structured (using the 6-3-5 method) and unstructuredbrainstorming sessions, while varying the ratio of men to women in each team. We adaptedShah’s (2003) novelty metric to assess the average novelty of design solutions generated inideation.We conducted quantitative

Recognizing the changing dynamics oftechnology and post graduate opportunities, BME programs should consider finding ways tointegrate the skills required of current professional practice in real time. Finally, as the field ofBME continues to develop, BME departments need to continually assess the knowledge and skillsneeded for BME students. By performing periodic analyses that leverage students and faculty toinform curriculum, departments can iterate on curriculum and support students for diverse careerpaths post-graduation. 13References[1] National Academy of Engineering

In thequestionnaire, for each major software type, e.g. AutoCAD, OtherCAD, MathCAD, Excel,Word, etc., students must select one of four possibilities: 1) Expert, 2) Capable User, 3) LittleKnowledge, and 4) Never Used. While no hard data are available, it is the impression of theauthor from observing performance of students in this class that students tend to overstate theircapabilities especially in some of the more popular software such as Excel and Word, but forsome of the more infrequently used software such as AutoCAD, they tend to understate theircapabilities. It appears students rate self assessment of skills on familiarity and frequency of use
