engineering students in learning solid modeling skillsIntroductionEngineering graphics and solid modeling are essential tools for design and manufacturing in thefield of biomedical engineering. Over the past decade, advancements in additive manufacturinghave made building design prototypes from computer models much easier. For example, recentimprovements have been made to development of medical devices [1] or surgical procedures [2]based on specific anatomical characteristics of each individual patient. In addition, solid modelsgenerated in computer-aided design (CAD) programs such as SolidWorks (Dassault Systèmes,Vélizy-Villacoublay, France) are often easily importable to commercial numerical analysissoftware packages such as finite element and

Metacognitiveskills can have enormous benefits for students within this course, and help students whenpursuing higher levels of education, and perform complex tasks in professional life requiring oneto take greater responsibility for one’s learning. Unfortunately, these metacognitive skills tend tofall outside the content area of most courses, and consequently, they can be often neglected ininstruction. In a large Biomedical Engineering class focused on solving mass and energy transferproblems, promoting metacognitive skills was a challenge that was met with two specificinterventions – 1) introduction of exam wrappers and class-wide

IntroductionEntrepreneurial education is generally associated with start-ups, product commercialization orbusiness studies. However, there is a clear distinction between being an entrepreneur and havingan entrepreneurial mindset (EM). EM has been defined as cognitive behavior that allowsengineers to be curious about an opportunity, make connections and create value for a broadrange of stakeholders while recognizing their social and environmental responsibilities [1], [2].Incorporation of EM in engineering education is driven by the dynamic nature of the current jobmarket and the ‘skills gap

Broadly speaking, entrepreneurial thinking includes “specific aspects of systemsplanning, operationalizing innovative ideas, establishing organizational culture by example, big picturethinking, problem posing, thinking outside the box, realizing a vision, institutionalizing best practices,taking risks, learning from failure, founding startups, persuading others to follow, catalyzing change,market savvy, and identifying opportunities.” [3,6] From this statement

traditional didactic approach to teachingphysiological concepts geared toward those with less experience in the subject would risk failingto engage or challenge the more experienced students, whereas an approach paced toaccommodate those with at least some prior background in the subject risks leaving those withno background in physiology behind—especially given the challenges inherent in teachingphysiological concepts [1].
