Students defined design requirements, generated evolutionarysolutions through multiple iterations, and demonstrated the utility of scientific literature byapplying knowledge to enhance their designs. This approach facilitated a deeper exploration ofbiomedical technology, involving critical analysis and improvement of materials, methods, andmanufacturing techniques.Seventeen students participated in the project, divided into six groups, each assigned specifictopics related to wearable and implanted technologies. Over 14 weeks, students followed astructured process, making presentations associated with three design iterations, showcasing theirprogress, and receiving feedback from a teaching team consisting of the

In addition to the capstone senior design courseofferings, Biomedical Engineering programs increasingly incorporate standalone engineeringdesign courses into the curriculum as early as freshman year. These promising attempts emphasizethe importance of reinforcing engineering design practices. However, it is still a challenge toaccommodate engineering design projects into field-specific courses

EngineeringCapstone Design Project Dr. Alexis Ortiz-Rosario1 1Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus OH, USA AbstractThe traditional idea of capstone teams is assigning a project to a group of students which willbe tackled throughout an academic term. The team can comprise students from a single majoror multi-disciplinary (e.g., multiple majors). The project can span one or two semesters; in someexceptions, new teams are tasked with further project phases for the following years [1]. Thiswork aims to present a novel approach to structuring capstone teams. By deconstructing asingle project into multi-deliverable components (e.g., heart rate

several levels of design across different programs. This includes Capstone in theBachelors (BS) program, Professional Capstone in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program,and the Capstone Projects course in the College of Medicine. Having multiple disconnected levelsof design presents numerous challenges, such as sourcing projects, structuring the scope ofprojects, and sharing resources both physical and personnel related. As a result, we elected todevelop a shared resource model for projects across these programs to meet the needs of eachprogram and to enhance the learning experience and professional preparation for students. In thisnew model, medical students develop projects based on needs identified during clinical rotations.Medical students

Faculty respondents in a 2019 bioengineering design education workshop reported thatbioengineering departments have specific strengths in teaching interdisciplinary knowledge,communication, client needs, human anatomy and physiology, biological constraints, andinteraction with clinicians [26]. The fact that bioengineering applications are broad and open-ended casts a wide net for the types of projects which end up being proposed and run throughbioengineering senior design courses.

Thiscollaborative approach allows UG students to glean insights from a more diverse andcomprehensive range of graduate students, fostering relationships that might otherwise remainunrealized. In the context of fostering collaborative relationships between graduate and UG students,implementing an innovative-based learning (IBL) program serves as a catalyst for synergy. TheIBL program involves interdisciplinary projects that require collaboration between graduate andundergraduate students. These projects provide opportunities for innovation, addressing real-world problems, and leveraging the diverse skills of each student.

Controlling the manufacturing ofelectrospun fibers presented a unique engineering problem that could integrate concepts frommultiple bioengineering courses including biomechanics, circuits, computer aided design (CAD),thermodynamics, and biomaterials into a single engineering design project with real-worldapplications. This project served as the basis for a new junior-level design course that will betterprepare students for their senior capstone

In addition, project-based instructionis often done with students in teams and these teams have formal or informal leadership structures. In thiscontext, the success of the student project is usually attributed to the mindset of the leader, managementstyles, team dynamics that are cultivated by the leader, as well as a clear team structure and goals.
