study have been reported by Carberry, et al.10 To assess reliability andvalidity of the BSS Survey, the data from the first administration (mid-semester data) were usedas pilot data. The Cronbach’s alpha for the BSS survey was 0.964 indicating excellent internalconsistency. A confirmatory factor analysis yielded coefficients greater than 0.7 indicating thatquestions intended to address the same latent variable (flipped classroom, muddiest points,design project, class activities, and pencasts) did so. Coefficients from the factor analysis usingpilot data may be found in Supplement B. Page 24.614.4Investigation of reliability and validity using
additional information. At this stage of the project, this role was fairly easy since we’re really moving forward on our design. Everyone came to the meetings with a pretty clear idea of what we needed to do and the motivation to work on it making my job fairly easy. The only blotch on my record was failing to call when I was quite sick and couldn’t come to the meeting. Our attendance policy states that we need to notify the group, and I just forgot. I would grade myself a B- on my role as not quite a solid “good,” but more like a “not half bad.” Person 2: This portion of the semester I had the role of leader. I feel I did a good job for the most part. I am comfortable taking

), separations (e.g.,distillation, extraction, adsorption), and physical processes (mixers, heat exchangers,crystallizers). Historically, this methodology has been applied to the scale-up of benchtop andpilot operations to the chemical plant, but can also be applied to biotechnology and biomedicallaboratory work implemented in a microfluidic format in scaling down processes to fit on a chip.For medical diagnostics, the relevant unit operations are cell sorting, cell lysis, nucleic acidisolation, amplification, and detection. Each of these steps can be performed on a chip. Then,the unit operations are integrated into a single chip. The unit operations approach can serve as aneffective gateway to biotechnology for engineering students.References 1. B

Consistent with the definition of Prevention through Design, theylearn to identify potential hazards and design to prevent the occurrences of accidents and injuriesfor the benefit of everyone involved. Factors affecting level of risk include: (a) likelihood of thedangerous event occurring, (b) severity of the potential impact on a person, (c) number of peoplewho might be impacted, and (d) extent to which the impacts are controllable.Two types of risk analysis are discussed in detail. The first examines risks of failure (a system orprocess or device failing to perform as intended)—important in design for reliability.

The marks on thesequestions were added resulting in a total score out of 20.For both courses, the exam scores were compared for the flipped classroom offering and thetraditional lecture offerings using an unpaired t-test to examine if there was a significantdifference in performance between the 2 instructional approaches.

15% Team Final Poster Presentation 15% The grading scale was as follows: A: 90-100%, B: 80-89%, C: 70-79%, D: 60-69%, F: 0-59%. The course grading was designed to be highly dependent on individual work submitted(70%) where as the rest 30% was based on the team submitted material (which included theposter and oral presentation). Although the laboratories were conducted in teams, each studentsubmitted their own abstract for grading. The use of abstracts facilitated this grading formatbecause each student could reasonably produce a 1 page report each week, without dependenceon others in the team. The classical laboratory format of having a team submit a multi-pagereport is often criticized by students who cite

Specifically, the builtquality of the final prototype was improved in projects that focused on mechanical design, butthese improvements did not extend to other types of projects or to other late steps in theengineering design process.

WSOE Curriculum Committee, 11/1/06. POs: Graduates of the program will attain: a. an ability to apply knowledge of advanced mathematics (including differential equations and statistics), science (including biology and physiology), and engineering to solve problems, especially those at the interface of engineering and biology; b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to make measurements on and to analyze and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems; c. an ability to design a system, component, or processes to meet desired bioengineering needs within realistic
science requirements for admission to medical school, with a particular emphasis on our internal biology curriculum. 119 domestic medical schools were surveyed. Overall, 90% of responding medical schools responded favorably to our BME undergraduate biology curriculum. Data from MCAT scores and admissions rates support the conclusion that our program of study, and by implication that of many other BME programs, meets the requirements for medical school admissions without compromising the rigor of the engineering curriculum or requiring additional coursework beyond organic chemistry. Advanced physiology and cell biology lectures and labs are of key importance.IntroductionAcademic advising for
