Two studentpopulations were surveyed: first-year students who had just learned to draw rigid body FBDs,and third-year students in their first dynamics course. Students were asked to draw FBDs forproblems with accompanying figures at different levels of abstraction, and the FBDs wereanalyzed for errors.MethodsThree problems were selected for inclusion in this study; students were asked to draw an FBDfor the box of a dump truck, a lawn mower on a slope, and

Given the documented stereotype of Asian students as the “modelminority” [16], this is potentially concerning and does highlight a focus area for deeperexploration and improvement—are there biases at play limiting the support facilitators are givingAsian students?

The increase in confidence in performing laboratory experimentsis likely due to their performance of multiple hands-on experiments over the span of theprogram. In addition, the participants increased their knowledge of the educational opportunitiesavailable for them in the biomedical engineering program at Western New England College.
