The objectives of improved communication, problem solving, and teamingskills in addition to the acquisition of a background in BME applications have been successfullyachieved as with projects, papers, and presentations.This approach to learning has provided additional benefits for the supervision of graduatestudents and for research planning. Although initially challenging, the benefits to cost ratio is sohigh that the described method is planned for incorporation in all courses in an BME curriculum.I.

One of the largest drivers of attrition in engineering are so-called“gatekeeper” prerequisite courses that introduce math and science concepts in an out-of-context,high-stakes format.Through human-centered curricular interventions interwoven with co-curricular support we willtransform students' sense of belonging in college generally and in engineering more specifically.Our focus is on changing systems to promote student success rather than "fixing" or "weedingout" students. The traditional introduction to our engineering curriculum—and that of many ofour peer institutions—requires that students take prerequisite courses in mathematics and

The design model is referred to as the Integrated Course Design [2] and starts with the goalsof the course, followed by an analysis of the situational factors surrounding the course, with thelast step being the components of the course (i.e., assessment and feedback, learning activities,and instructional practices). Thus, the goals of the course were established before the content andlearning activities were selected. The design team then explored the

Model-eliciting activities (MEAs) are an impactful example of apedagogical approach used in first-year engineering to teach mathematical modeling skills [3].Even though there are some established approaches, there is still a need for more meaningfulways to teach modeling throughout the engineering curricula and especially in first-yearengineering courses [1].Developing computational thinking skills is something that has been emphasized in engineeringeducation more recently and aligns with this call for curriculum that explicitly teachesmathematical and

/ML tools to solvereal-world engineering problems. For most engineering applications, simple AI models are often sufficient,and the ability to effectively apply these models is more critical than developing new ones. As a result,traditional AI/ML courses designed for Computer Science students may not be appropriate for METstudents, who should be trained as AI practitioners rather than AI model developers.To address the challenges of teaching AI/ML to MET students, we’ve designed a five-week AI/ML modulethat integrates directly into an existing robotics class. This approach allows us to bypass the need for newcourses in an already packed curriculum while providing practical exposure to AI within a relevant field.By embedding the AI/ML module

and the technical currency of academic programs. Faculty professionaldevelopment activities and technical currency play an important role in promotingstudent learning and success. Especially for non-research (purely teaching) institutionsthat offer technology driven programs, one of the most important factors determiningstudent success is the professional and technical currency of faculty members.

The aim is to enhance student learning and better preparegraduates for new challenges. Chu’s viewpoint is that a good engineer must not only becomeknowledgeable in certain content areas (components, learned in individual courses), but also beable to apply and integrate that content to solve complex, real-world problems.Motivation for Chu’s work came from an earlier 5-year study of engineering education [2].
