highlyvalues familiarity with these topics in biomedical engineering (BME) undergraduates; there is agrowing demand for professionals who possess a combination of both technical knowledge andregulatory affairs [1]. However, it is challenging to instruct students on these inherently drytopics, particularly in the absence of practical applications.Recognizing that expertise in any of these areas is an impractical goal for undergraduatestudents, BME programs have implemented several different approaches to provide a workingknowledge of these topics to equip graduates for work in the medical device industry. Theseapproaches range from entire courses devoted to singular topics, such as medical deviceregulation [2], to lectures integrated into the capstone

Students in this program learn business andengineering skills in the classroom, then apply them in the field through class projects and acomplex capstone internship, which takes the place of a traditional thesis. Thus, the EngineeringManagement program requires strong industry partnerships for the education and graduation ofits students.The MSPS Advisory Board, which consists of local industry leaders and program alumni, acts togrow and maintain these critical industry partnerships. The Advisory Board’s role is 1) toprovide the class-projects and internships required for the students’ successful careers and 2) toensure that the curricula stays leading-edge and covers the needs of regional employers.

In the implementation stage a number of the upper-level and elective courses are taught by adjuncts. This allows the program to develop and to be “tweaked” before commitments are made to full-time, tenure-track faculty. • The new program focuses on just two areas, materials and electromechanical systems. These two areas aligned well both with the existing skill sets in the department and with the needs of local industry. • The senior design project, the capstone project

Assembly language labs are specified as C programs, with the students actingas human compilers for PIC18 implementation. This removes the mystery of the C toassembly language link, and prepares the students for the hardware labs that areimplemented entirely in C. The hardware labs cover the onboard peripherals of thePIC18F242 such as the timer subsystem, I2C interface, and analog-to-digital converter, aswell as off-chip interfacing to devices such as a serial EEPROM, an I2C digital-to-analogconverter, and an infrared receiver.

Unfortunately, he cannot reproduce theresults of the protocol she described in her capstone paper. He looks through her lab notebook insearch for some guidance, and reads with interest how she redesigned her protocol repeatedly inresponse to various failures over winter and spring quarter. Midway through spring quarter, shefinally arrived at the protocol described in her capstone paper. However, in both attempts toexecute this protocol by your dedicated and very-experienced

Teachers can bemore effective for a broader set of students by employing a modality with which students arealready very familiar.In addition to the rapid pace of technological change, engineering is also becoming increasinglyinterdisciplinary.

Traditionally, undergraduate curricula in mechanicalengineering include a capstone design project that occurs during the senior year. Students inengineering at
