Clinical Scholars with a selection of clerkships, andlearning communities have been shown to increase retention in engineering programs,particularly among at-risk groups [9].The immersion experiencesBefore their summer clerkships begin, the academic deans of the school of medicine call forvolunteer mentors from among the 3rd year students. Clinical Scholars are assigned to thosestudents to best leverage their schedule of clerkships, providing 3-4 clerkships for each Scholar,each of 1-4 week duration. Scholars have a new medical student mentor for each clerkship.Clinical Scholars join their teams as “observers” rather than as “learners.” This is important (a)to not dilute the instructional quality and hands-on time for the medical students, (b) to

• Outcome: completion of system integration and V&V testing, final documentation • Topics: V&V testingAssessment ProtocolIn this study, we evaluated the effects of the design curriculum change on student learning andengagement by assessing the students’ ability (a) to apply a systematic approach to identifyingdesign inputs and outputs, and verifying their attainment; (b) to apply appropriate research andanalysis tools; (c) to develop a functional prototype; (d) to work functionally as a team; and (e)to stay continuously engaged. We followed a three-pronged assessment approach, whichincluded the following assessment instruments. 1. Senior-exit surveys; 2. Individual student performance questionnaires completed by the instructors; 3. In
problem-based learning (PBL) sessions.Two perturbations required the F2F teaching to convert to online delivery: (a) the response to the2020 COVID-19 pandemic and (b) the department’s desire to begin offering the course insummer semesters. The conversion of a traditional F2F course to online instruction possesseschallenges to ensure mastery of learning outcomes are not jeopardized. Challenges includemaintaining engagement, enabling interaction between students, teaching math-intensivematerial virtually while preventing Zoom fatigue, and maintaining active learning strategies. Toaddress these challenges a novel initiative was developed to convert a traditionally-taught courseto its final form to a blended course consisting of asynchronous mini
l B radius l C viscosity ml-1t-1 DStudents start by guessing which variables might affect blood flow, such as tube radius, tubelength, fluid viscosity, and the pressure gradient. They might also include variables which do notfactor into Poiseuille’s Law, such as temperature. In this way, they learn that any extra variablesshould drop out of the equation at the end.The exact relationship is unknown, so coefficients are used for the exponents as shown inEquation 9.(Eq 9) FLOW (l3 t-1) = f (pressureA, lengthB, radiusC, viscosityD) = (ml-1t-2)A (l)B (l)C ( ml-1t-1)DExponents can be equated for each

Students also had theopportunity to discuss other potential applications of the machines during these live sections.After completing the modules, students had to complete an open-note, timed exam as has beendone in previous years. The questions are representative of the course objectives and materiallearned throughout the quarter. This exit exam was slightly modified fromthe year before to account for questions that
