for Mechanical Engineering students at Northeastern University. The existingexperiments have become dated and in many cases have devolved to demonstrations by theteaching assistants, with little hands on experimentation by the students. This has resulted inseverely decreased student satisfaction with the labs. An extensive redesign was performed todevelop hands-on, open ended lab experiments that allowed students increased control over theoutcome of the experiments. Pre-lab homework assignments require students to develop labprocedures, research sensor specifications, and develop virtual instruments in NationalInstruments’ LabView. A term project required student groups to design and execute ameasurement experiment, presenting their findings

Processingand understanding these heterogeneous datasets is best facilitated through methods from data-science, including emerging techniques such as artificial intelligence.

A culture of “engineering with engineers” couldresult in graduates who not only are prepared technically and professionally with a practical,realistic understanding of what it is to be an engineer, but who also identify with and arecommitted to the engineering profession. Researchers have suggested the culture influence isespecially important for women to persist in a field [22], [29]. Hence, results of the study arehoped to lead to a clearer understanding of the changes that promote engineering identities

Upon graduation, thebiomedical engineer is suddenly confronted with real-world problems and design that require ateam of experts, project planning and execution, regulatory and quality control, financial supportand a satisfied customer. Too often, graduates are unprepared for this transition to real worldengineering.In designing a curriculum to prepare students for future challenges, we continually ask, “What isthe "best practice?" A good design engineer would ask, "how do we measure success?" Do weuse metrics like starting salaries? Employer rankings of alums? Alumni
