(Roehl et al., 2013). Even so,students may not value cooperative learning or find it to be a positive experience because of theirdesire to get “correct” information from the instructor that they can memorize after class(Herreid, 2013). This idea is supported by the focus group responses desiring online videos or in-person lectures instead of or in addition to online reading and web-based resources. In anengineering class focusing on problem-solving approaches, it is challenging to help studentsdevelop an intuitive sense for risk-taking and innovation when multiple problem-solvingtechniques are possible. Although the flipped course structure with many low-stakes practiceproblems should have encouraged students to try approaches with low risk of

of this effort was less about understanding the patient experience from abusiness or technology design perspective, but much more about actually understanding what itis like to be a patient with cancer. Following an introductory discussion in class on what steps ofthe disease and intervention pathways would be most challenging to patients, students exploredwhat feelings, decisions, conversations, events, etc. patients might experience along the diseaseand intervention pathways. Students were encouraged to explore the various aspects of the livesof the patients that could be affected such as finances, jobs, family, physical abilities, socialinteractions, etc. After creating a sequence of at least fifteen of these feelings, events, etc

For our students, the approach that this course took has served to provide an over-view of the biomedical and rehabilitation engineering fields. This paper noted before that 18additional students signed up for the BmE or BS&T minors while or after taking this class. Sincethe majority of the class were sophomores or juniors, no post-graduation data are available as ofyet as to what careers they ultimately will embark upon. The one high school student in the classwill be going to the Albany College of Pharmacy. No data are available regarding whether life-long-learning skills were enhanced, although a number of students

The two faculty who teach this course(Frow, Smith) have co-developed the content over the past two years; we also meet biweeklyduring the academic year with faculty members teaching the other BME ‘design spine’ courses, tocoordinate program content and learning outcomes across courses.Our semester-long course focuses on global healthcare markets and device design for low-resourcesettings. The course revolves around an open-ended, team-based design project (Smith et al. 2005).A core aim is to foster curiosity and creativity1 in students’ first formal experience of engineeringdesign
