. Box 894 Indianapolis, IN 46206 I. AbstractIn this paper, we describe how the design and analysis of power electronics can be made alive tostudents by focusing all classroom and laboratory experiences on a high-profile, high-tech,production unit such as General Motors’ propulsion system for its EV1 electric vehicles. Usingthis strategy, an interdisciplinary team of faculty at our university successfully designed a seniorelective for electrical engineering and electrical engineering technology students in powerelectronics. Developed under a FIPSE grant, the course covers both the design of state-of-the-artpower electronics and the design of associated computer

Our goal, therefore, was to develop the courses and laboratories needed toestablish a new concentration in Biomedical Engineering built upon the broad core of a GeneralEngineering (BSE) degree. In addition, every student enrolled in one of our concentrationsshould gain exposure to BME principles and have experience in a BME laboratory.Freshman and sophomore students are currently enrolled in the BME program. In addition tospecialized BME courses, educational materials are being developed for inclusion in existingelectrical and mechanical courses with the goal of

However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate.

In March 2020, COVID-19 was announced as apandemic that began impacting higher education during the Spring semester. Many land-grantuniversities were not fully equipped with the tools to offer the best learning experience tostudents due to lock-down and the inability to access the laboratories and teaching equipment.This global pandemic had caused the universities to change their operations and impelledinstructors to switch to online instruction halfway into the semester.

In many schools, colleges and universities the availability ofpractical, hands-on interaction with computer numerical controlled machines (CNC machines) islimited due to the expense and operational complexity of these machines. Many of the higher endCNC machines are reserved for expert machinists. As a result, students do not experience mod-ern manufacturing beyond the “black-box” interactions with a machinist.
