on letters of recommendation submitted on behalf of interested students. Nospecific student populations are either targeted and/or excluded. The three biomedicalengineering students who participated in the program were the only students who applied. Thesmall number of participants reflects the fact that our biomedical engineering program is only 4years old with a small student population.B. The Clinical Immersion Framework: A well-established healthcare “Student ExperienceEducational” Program offered by a leading local healthcare organization was utilized in theclinical immersion framework used in this study [14]. The “Student Experience Educational”Program offers internships and healthcare observation opportunities for high school and
design, which began with the students first learning how to do alaboratory set up from scratch, a skill which they had not been exposed to in traditionalclassroom settings.Research writing skills was also a prevalent theme in students’ reflections of their learning.Students reported learning new methodologies of research and report writing from engaging inresearch. Some students gained knowledge on how to conduct a literature review search, writingof an IRB proposal, designing a research poster, while two students responded that they learnedcommunication skills as a result of doing research with members of a team. The students werejust a few weeks into their research and acknowledged being excited about new things that theywere learning. One
should note that key design often focuses on finding key length for a desired factor of safety.However, it is often desirable for the key to have the same length as the hub to balance themachine; sizing on that basis often leads to a very high factor of safety. This may account for whyubiquitous failure of keys is not observed.In summary, this finite element study shows that key failure is not due to compressive failure inthe way previously thought, so larger fillet radii are allowable. Clearly, this problem needs furtherstudy, which may lead to key sizing guidelines that reflect this non-uniform stress distribution.Until then, the existing formulas for sizing keys to prevent shear or compressive failure areprobably adequate and the compressive
, for the instructor, formulating questions that elicit appropriate mental processing on thepart of students is undoubtedly also difficult. The authors wrestled with finding a mechanism to motivate students to conceptunderstanding, and eventually they came up with some ideas. First, it was decided to designassignments for students requiring them to provide answers to concept-related questions.Answers would be in the form of written descriptions, explanations, and definitions, and couldbe recorded/reported on digital devices such as a laptop, iPad, smartphone, etc. Generatinganswers would require some mental activity for the student; some reflective thinking andpondering, more than just memorization. Grading of answers would be based on

students and faculty better integrate the virtue of resilienceinto student learning experiences. This paper examines the development, reliability, andvalidity of the VRI.Resilience and its RoleResilience reflects the ability or willingness to ‘bounce back’ and persist in the effort toachieve a goal when faced with challenges [1]. Beliefs related to resilience increase thelikelihood that an individual will act resiliently but are not in themselves “resilience”.Consequently, resilience is more related to a habitual attitude and is better modeled as adisposition. When supportive of the good, resilience becomes an aspect of the virtue offortitude [2]. When viewed through a lens of psychometrics, resilience relates to thepsychological disposition of

This test is used to gauge the quality of the solder joints. During the test, x-rayspenetrate the silicon in IC packages and reflect off the metal joints, creating a grayscale imagedepicting metal in a darker hue. This image shows the precision of the solders and whether anydefects exist, such as open solder joints, misaligned parts, or lifted pins beneath the IC packets.The X-ray image of the PCB is then compared to a reference image to identify any differences.If any misalignments are discovered, the component is sent back for repair.MethodsA SimEvents model of PCB assembly process is designed and

In addition, we found itwas not only the engineering classes, clubs, and teams that seemed to affect the sense ofbelonging, but also where the participants lived. Our preliminary results indicate that students’making experiences, especially in the context of project teams, influence how they feel asengineers. We will continue to explore these themes into the second year of our project.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2204738.

among participants with variouslevels of problem solving and engineering fieldwork experience in defining being creative (or not)in solving ill-structured engineering problems. The collected data reflects that the three groups have a variety of definitions of beingcreative (or not) throughout the problem solving process. Common themes include the following:Undergraduate students focus on relating creativity to generating multiple original ideas, andgenerating ideas that are extravagant and/or out of the box. This is different from faculty memberswhich consider creativity to come from accumulated background knowledge and past experiences,and engineering practitioners which more often consider the safety- and risk-related

reverse engineering and experimental datacollection. It was decided upon that the project would be based around a 5 hp Briggs andStratton engine. In the projects students disassembled a set of engines and had discussions aboutthe material selection and engineering design choices made. Then, using an identical engine,performance measures were collected using a small engine dyno. In this paper, theimplementation of the project along with the learning outcomes from the project are presented.The results and conclusions drawn from a reflective assignment will be provided to express howstudents perceived their knowledge gained from the project specifically in the area ofengineering design and analysis.IntroductionIt is common knowledge that hands-on
