However, students are only available during a third of a year, whichis not typically desirable for host organizations.Model A: Summer Semester Co-op Option in a 4-Year BME Program Fall Spring Summer First Year Courses Courses Second Year Courses Courses Co-op Third Year Courses Courses Co-op Fourth Year Courses CoursesModel B is designed with two to three cooperative work module interspersed with the curriculum,as shown [13].

These programspresent an excellent opportunity for the TFs to gain experience in two important aspects of theeducational environment, content preparation and classroom/ lab delivery. Content preparationrequires that the TF: a) familiarize with the topic, b) prepare presentation materials such asPowerpoint files, c) identify laboratory resources and supplies for the lesson, d) create activitydescriptions and instructions, and e) assure that all

Knowledge Used at Each Stage of the Engineering Design ProcessThis section describes the participants’ approach to selecting and working on the community-based project. It includes the different components of the engineering design process such as: (a)identifying the need or problem, (b) developing possible solutions, and (c) selecting the bestpossible solution. This project focused on the use of funds of knowledge of the students and noton the finalized engineering artifact or final product.Identifying the Need or ProblemThe participants used their experiences in diverse school organizations different topics werebrought up to our attention. The brainstorming stage included a variety of ideas that could have

Rather, a true partnership with the community that is being served must be forged through a model where the community is involved in decision-making and management of projects.
