Translating these research advances to improve healthcare requires breaking through barriers and adaptive tailoring to sustainably address needs and solve problems. At Caltech, Dr. Tolomiczenko works with a diverse set of internal and external stakeholders to foster collaborations that will result in new paths to cures and improved access to affordable, high-quality healthcare.Ms. Nadine B.

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

ABET Outcome 1 of Criterion 3, the assigned ABET outcome for this BiomedicalElectronics Course, was further defined and evaluated as the following sub-outcomes: A. Ability to identify and formulate a circuit solution in time domain. B. Ability to identify and formulate a circuit solution (find the transfer function) in frequency domain. C. Ability to interpret the transfer function of a circuit. D. Solve complex engineering problems applying either Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) circuit theory or Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL

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

Student feedback based on free-response questions inthe end of course surveys both years revealed that students were confident in their ability toimplement and apply a model to a physiological system (although two students out of 34 whoanswered the free response question expressed a desire for more model-building fundamentals).The results regarding understanding physiological concepts were more mixed, however, withmean scores on the exams at 80%, and just over half of the students performing B- or worse onthose assignments.

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. This gave students an opportunity toprovide constructive feedback and learn from the work of their peers.Fig. 2: Student posters displaying product innovation.
