months. The students tend to be more motivated because they receive course credit for the research. The regular assignments from the senior design course (proposal presentation, end of fall semester presentation, poster, final presentation, team meeting minutes, etc) also make it easy to monitor and manage student progress. b) A clearly defined research scope and objective: Available ITL methods (such as PBL, case-based learning) use problems that generally have no real ownership, nor is there an actual presentation of solutions to the client. In RBL, the supervising faculty member owns the research and therefore can clearly define the scope, objective and deliverables for the research team and

At the end of each semester, students receive a grade for each course they complete,which is converted to a numerical value (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0) and multiplied by thenumber of credit hours to give the number of quality points. Quality points are divided by thenumber of credit hours to determine the GPA. Although this method allows courses withdifferent credit hours to be weighted differently, it does not allow for the relative difficulty ofcourses (i.e. lower level courses are treated as equal to upper level courses) and does not Page 26.589.3distinguish between subject areas so math, physics and engineering topics are

Outlines contained more detailed guidance in the beginning of the semester(see Appendix B) and became less detailed as the semester progressed.

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

The students were asked to brainstorm and design solutions to these bioengineering issues. b. The project was scaffolded, where parts were

My entrepreneurial instincts led me to engineer medicine and become an inside navigator of the healthcare system so that I can eventually affect change and promote progress with my unique perspectives as a practicing physician.
