Spring 2016 students did not participate in the lab modulebut received the same lecture by the same instructor on the concepts. Final exams were notreturned to students, reducing the chance that spring 2017 students knew the question in advance.Non-traditional sophomores (who took the course out of sequence in our curriculum) wereexcluded from analysis. Demographic analysis confirmed that the two populations were similarin composition (Table 1). Specifically, the average grade in the prerequisite course(Quantitative Cellular Physiology

in Appendix B. As statedpreviously, a rotating facilitator model is expected to be helpful for institutions with large enrollments. Itis important to note that the current semester enrollment in the course (including BME major, BMEminor, and non-minor students) is approximately 100. However, with the anticipated growth of the newBME major program, the enrollment is anticipated to increase to approximately 300 students peracademic year. By examining our preliminary smaller cohorts, we will consider this model to besuccessful if both students and facilitators perceive the rotating facilitators as beneficial towards studentskill development and an overall positive experience and manageable demands on facilitators.References:1.

The course culminated in a closed-ended team-based design project with aphysical prototype due at the end.Both explicit and implicit measures were delivered through Qualtrics online survey software.This survey was delivered before the second class session of the semester, and again in the weekof final exams. The survey included: 1. The ability dimension of the engineering design self-efficacy instrument, described in [5]. This measures whether students believe they will be: a. Able, and b. Motivated to engage in engineering design tasks, whether they feel they will be c. Successful in doing so, and how
