The demand for such aframework was discussed in other fields of engineering such as geoengineering (Owen et al.,2013), and in this work we are describing our effort to have a few initial steps in the field ofbiomedical engineering and medical science.

Students then used this information topredict which stimuli their subject was attending to in order to control the BCI maze.To relate neurons and their action potentials, a topic taught in AP Biology courses, to the voltagedifferences measured with EEG (with different areas of the brain corresponding to physiologicalbehaviors), lecture activities focused on students using their knowledge of anatomy to predictspecific physiological behaviors from an EEG signal (see Appendix B). For example, studentswere shown EEG and the corresponding power spectral data for electrodes placed on differentportions of the brain; based on the anatomical location alone, the students

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
. This prototype design challenge will continue to be used in future course offerings. We plan to include team-building activities earlier in the course to enable effective teamwork from the start. We also intend to work together with other faculty members in our department to incorporate design projects in more of our engineering courses.

Subsequentstudies to further explore student interactions during team asset activities, along with thepotential benefit of vertically integrated asset-based activities across the curriculum, are neededto further evaluate the longer-term impact and effectiveness.References[1] Snyder, W., & Toole, M., & Hanyak, M., & Higgins, M., & Hyde, D., & Mastascusa, E., &Hoyt, B., & Prince, M., & Vigeant, M.

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.
