To promote interaction across disciplines, thestudents work in randomly assigned teams of two that often pair up Biomedical Engineering(BME) students with Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students. For many students,the lab presents the first exposure to a collaborative engineering design effort, in contrast to thecommon independent exercise of tackling a “tough homework problem.” Although thislaboratory project is quite challenging, it was well liked by the diverse population of BME andECE students. Efforts are underway to integrate an online post-lab survey during the upcomingterm to enable a more

Logistical complexities prohibited the tests from being administered after the sameamount of time following the courses for students in both curricula. While more time hadelapsed for students in the pevioius curriculum, they may also have had some conceptsreinforced in other classes and in their senior design project during this intervening time. Toaddress the shortcomings of the study arising from different testing schedules, the faculty intendsto administer follow-up SSCI exams to the cohort in the new curriculum.

The students do client-based design projects in teams, wherein they apply theknowledge they learned in various classes to real-world problems. The design projects arediverse and often require fabrication and technical skills they have previously encountered intheir coursework. A supplemental training curriculum was created by the more experiencedstudents who act as Student Facilitators (SFs) to specifically to meet the needs of the BMEstudents for their design projects.

engineering curricula is important for the education of well-qualified engineers. While all accredited engineering programs are required to provide a majorcapstone design experience, the integration of design throughout the curriculum is oftenchallenging. The departments of biomedical engineering and industrial engineering at WesternNew England College have developed a design experience completed as a requirement in seniorengineering laboratory courses. The design project experience is in addition to the capstonedesign courses. This experience was used to demonstrate students’ ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams, design a system within realistic constraints, and understand the impact ofdesign solutions in a societal context.IntroductionA
