yeardemographics, highlighting the importance of freshman engagement. Some evidence supportsthe idea that specialized freshman courses help to retain students, especially when they are majorspecific [9]. At the institution where this study occurs, there is a freshman course for allengineering, but not specifically for the BME major. This could be one potential way to increaseoverall retention by engaging with the department and creating a sense of belonging. Although, itis unclear how this could affect retention of URMs and women.Factors Related to Academic PreparednessOf the 63 students who switched out of the major in the 2018 cohort, a little over half (n=37) didnot meet the B or better grade requirements in the EMP. One third (n=21) did meet all of

We assessed faculty and student perspectives on these partnerships through a survey administered at the end of the semester.

If we didn't agree with something, we all looked at it….Most of the research we did individually, but then we had weekly meetings where we all came together and talked about them all. Then, when we asked [the physician] to meet with us, we were all there, and he talked us through it. Then, using his expertise and our discussion, some people would go to observe whether a need was actually viable. We would synthesize all that information to decide which needs to follow through on.”Although survey respondents indicated that they already possessed these skills prior to theirinvolvement in the CPM program (Appendix B), they still reported

Each group gave a 2 min pitch and were assessed based on the innovation, posterlayout, and presentation skills. All the groups were encouraged to ask questions during thegallery walk as well as vote for their favorite product.
