109An obvious approach to meet learning objectives is to develop a set of hands-on laboratories. AtCal Poly over the past 5 years, hands-on experimental laboratories have been utilized in theBiotransport Phenomena course; however, key laboratory exercises involving Diffusiveprocesses, which were inherently slow and time prohibitive, extended beyond the allottedlaboratory time limit. Additionally, finding and designing wet, hands-on laboratories tocomplement the flow of the lecture proved to be very difficult. So Cal Poly BME was faced withthe dilemma of a) developing a set of complementary laboratories, b) compressing theMathematical learning curve associated with Biotransport Phenomena, and c) helping studentsdevelop valuable Engineering

twenty question pre-test was administered before information fluency was introduced in classby librarians. This pre-test served as a baseline for the knowledge the students brought to thecourse. As shown in Appendix B, pre- and post-test questions included different areas ofinformation fluency. At midterm, after the information fluency had been introduced to thestudents and they had participated in both an in-library workshop and an online intellectualproperty module, the students were given the post-test which was identical to the pre-test. Paststudent participation in the post-test was minimal. This fall, 90% of the students participated inthe post test since it was a required part of the midterm. Individual section results are shown inFigure

Additional survey questions indicated that100% of the class was planning to graduate in Spring 2013, one-third of the students wereenrolled in the department’s 5-year BS-MS program, and approximately one quarter of thestudents in the class had performed undergraduate research in the department.

The Stages of Concern measure identifies theintensity of the feelings the individual adopting the innovation is experiencing. The Levels ofUse examines how the individual is using or adopting the innovation. IC maps are a tool used tounderstand implementation of an innovation at the individual level; to understand how theinnovation looks when implemented by teachers and students.4 An IC map is a word-picture Page 24.1333.21 This material is based on work supported

to differences in student population (anecdotally,at-a-distance students have family commitments and a full-time job). Additionally, when there isnot a specific class time, students must have exceptional time management skills or they quicklyfall behind. This conclusion is supported by historical completion rates of approximately 65%. Table 2: The grade distribution of ME 101. The first column reflects the percentage of students that do not have to retake the course, students that obtained an A, B, or C. The second column contains the percentage of students that took the final exam, but must retake the course. The final column indicated the percentage of students that withdrew or stopped participating in the course prior to
lead to a group discussion of the data and possible decision options. The hands-on labtakes about 50-60 minutes of class time and involves four students working as a team. The thirdstep is a structured team discussion, reviewing the data collected and talking about differentmodels of interpretation (see Figure 3). The final step in the process is a homework assignmentthat requires students to synthesize their learning and make a choice for how they would proceedas a character in the story.

Grades are not determined based on a typical “points” system.Instead, an outcomes-based grading scheme is used in which students must demonstrate masteryof specified learning outcomes to pass the class.To illustrate how the outcomes are defined and implemented, Table 2 lists the outcomes thatwere covered on the first exam.

assessments were assigned and submitted online using Blackboard learning manage-ment system.14 Homework assessments were designed in two parts: Part A was multiple choiceand matching type questions, and Part B was computational based questions that required studentsto apply formulas to solve engineering problems. In an effort to curb copying, the computationalbased problems were designed so that the numerical values changed with each attempt. Home-works were graded with a two part mastery score, meaning students only received credit for thehomework if they mastered each part of the assignment. Students were permitted two attemptsto achieve the necessary mastery for Part A and an unlimited number attempts were permitted toachieve mastery of Part B

Communications are limited to onlyone per significant deliverable to ensure that the role is not burdensome to either the externaltechnical evaluator or the capstone design team, and the design team is free to either accept orreject the feedback as they see fit.As of the time of publication, a thorough assessment of the technique has not yet beenconducted, as the projects have not yet been completed. However, preliminary comments, asshown in Appendix B, have been favorable.Following the completion of the 2013-2014 academic year, the effectiveness of this approachwill be accessed, with the intent of up-scaling the
