Expecting to learnmore about their research project, they also hoped to try out and improve their Chinese languageskills, explore the Chinese culture, and build their resume. Several of them welcomed an excuseto learn more about the land of their family’s heritage. Most acknowledged the lure of beingpaid to (a) do research and (b) travel to China.All participants were made explicitly aware that they were the subjects in a funded researchproject studying the effects of their participation in CURE.

practice the Four A’s strategy through a homeworkassignment in which they were asked to apply the Four A’s to a particular laboratory situation(Appendix B). The proposed case was based on a real-life example.Assessment ResultsReflective Assignment: The main goal for this assignment was to provide students with thechance to reflect on the material discussed and place it into context. Students were evaluated onwhether they provided a well-developed reflection on the implications and a personal evaluationof the proceedings (Appendix A). For the most part, students were able to synthesize theinformation presented and put it into the context of their own lives or future career goals. Withthe majority of students, obvious effort was put into

While all thermodynamics courses generically involve learning about andapplying the first, second, and third laws, the actual applications of the laws vary among thedisciplines. Bioengineers have little need for thermodynamics directed toward design of powerplants (mechanical) or distillation columns (chemical). More pertinent topics include media

A piece ofwire is then used to determine how the circuit is completed to activate the toy, thereby initiatingsounds, lights, and/or movement (Figure 2C, enlarged in D). A female jack is soldered to a wireand the other end of that wire is soldered to the identified points on the circuit (Figure 2E and F).Finally, the toy is closed (Figure 2G) and repackaged. Toy adaptation is a low-risk introductionto design, circuitry, soldering, and use of basic hand tools.

majority of students received final grades of an A+ to an A- (Figure 10). Of the studentsreceiving B grades, 66% worked on teams of 2 or more and these students usually had at leastone teammate who received a higher grade. This variability of grading within a team reflects theefforts of the instructors and advisors to assign grades as fairly as possible, using advisor andpeer feedback to help assess individual contributions to the Capstone project. Of the studentsreceiving C grades, 60% worked as individuals. In addition, their advisors were single-affiliationadvisors, mostly from BME (60%) and some from nursing (20%). This supports the findingsfrom the previous section in which combination advisors were found to generate the mostsuccess outcomes
