The biomedical instrumentation lab course isrequired for all undergraduate bioengineering majors and is a technical elective for several otherengineering majors at a large public land grant university in the Midwest United States. Thecourse content has been challenging for many students. Additionally, some students noted otherchallenges in the lab, e.g., reading labels on parts, lights, and lab bench layout. The goal of thisproject is to reduce these challenges with the content, space, and supplies.In the first phase of the project, the research team used methods from Universal Design forLearning (UDL), human centered design, and entrepreneurial minded learning to evaluate thelaboratory space and course materials and generate

updated student standards, rapidly changing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), andan increasing number of school systems requiring a CS class for graduation. In order to preparefor these changes – as well as to address the equity issues that have plagued CS since its inception– we engaged in a project designed to reimagine content and pathways for high school CSeducation. As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers). These events were designed tocollaboratively seek input for the creation of a series of reports recommending what a CS coursethat satisfies

One way theSTEMTEC project plans to do this is by introducing college-level instructors to some of theproven useful innovations which have been made in K-12 education. Many of these can begrouped under the category of “active learning” in which the conventional lecture format of aclass is exchanged for one in which students take a more active part. Two ways that active-learning principles have been applied in “Engineering, The Human Enterprise” are the use ofgroup projects and pyramid exams.1.
