Evidence of the increasingacceptance includes the creation of the ASEE Community Engagement Division. While thereare many examples of success, most are driven by individual faculty or small groups and thereare few examples of large scale implementation of engagement. For community engagement toachieve its potential, models that can be replicated or adapted and integrated into the fabric of theinstitutions must be developed. There is still skepticism about service-learning as noted in the2014 ASEE report [4]. It

In these data, we found that there was a set of courses taken by most biomedicalengineering students that could be regarded as a core of material. Recently, we have asked howthe findings of that work may have changed. Without the resources of the VaNTH ERC, wewere not able to undertake such a complete study again. Instead, to begin to assess the stabilityand uniformity of the curriculum, we have evaluated 16 programs, eight that were first accreditedbetween 1982 and 1987, and were therefore in our previous accredited sample, and eight

Although standard lectures have transitioned to virtual space in a relatively seamlessmanner, laboratory components have presented a greater challenge [2]. Maintaining dynamic yetrelevant practical, hands-on learning experiences within a virtual platform has demonstrated mixedsuccess [4]. Since laboratory experiences remain a keystone to biomedical engineering (BME)education, it is critical to design curricular experiences that provide active, sensory, visual learningexperiences to maintain student engagement in the virtual space to promote cognitive

Moreover, Couse and Chen (2010) called for “more fully integrate technologyinto the curriculum to encourage the active engagement and thinking of young children” (p.76).Hence, in order to integrate apps into educational material and curriculum, it is important toselect the apps that promote children’s learning.

When it initially occurs, dissonance is often attention-gettingbecause an observation does not fit into a preexisting understanding or knowledge of theenvironment. As an example, advertisers use this model to great effect, changing promotions,billboards, commercials on a regular basis.
