Contrastingly, we took the approach thatit is critical for scientists to be thoughtful and intentional throughout the developing and planningprocess with all the stakeholders. Outreach training focused on the mindfulness awarenessproject goals, the cultivation of community partnerships, and engagement of a non-technicalaudience in a science or engineering topic. After several initial informal education workshops,the students were given the opportunity to tailor their outreach projects to align best with theirpersonal interests, given the following broad topics: 1) Deliver a talk to high school studentsabout their undergraduate experience as a science or engineering major, 2) Write a draft

taken to teach students about the various tools and supplies through traditionallecture methods. Unfortunately, these models tend to compartmentalize topics within students’ minds whichcan be especially problematic in the context of Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering(hereafter referred to as Bioengineering). Bioengineering programs tend to be extremely broad,encompassing chemical, electrical, material science, and mechanical engineering elements, aswell as computer science. Oftentimes, students take lab classes, for example related to molecularbiology, in a specific lab meant only for that area of study. A different lab class dealing with adifferent field would then be done in a different lab. The challenge with these models is

Improving our approach towards teaching a content intensive subject in higher education - An on-line variantAbstract: The authors carried out a study and published the results on teaching a largely contentintensive course in an engineering school, where it is often a challenge to achieve studentlearning and retention of the course material. Methodologies involved encouraging studentnotetaking, a study guide sheet to follow along with the PowerPoint, homework built to serve asa study aid, weekly quiz, and a comprehensive final exam, as well as a research paper. Anadditional challenge in last year’s course was added when the course went on-line in the middleof the semester. To accommodate this on
