A project help period was heldweekly, where student teams consulted with the instructor about the project.

For example, design skills included any aspect of the design process, including creatinga needs statement, analysis of failure modes, building a prototype etc. Research skills includedability to gather information on a research topic, analyze data using excel or other software,interpret findings, plan an experiment, and write a lab report, etc. Laboratory skills included anytechnical skill used in the laboratory such as cell culture, PCR, western blots, microscopy, etc.Additionally, programming could include any programming language such

undesiredoutcomes. Results indicated that 60% of the surveyed population experienced a sense of anxietyregarding grades at the start of the semester. The study then analyzed the emotional impact whengrades were as expected and unexpected mid-semester. Results indicated that 52% of the surveyedpopulation conveyed a level of concern with grades moving forward despite having expectedgrades. This was a critical finding given that academic or emotional concern is generally associatedwith low scores, not high scores. On the other hand, 96% of the students expressed concernedwhen grades were not as expected mid-semester. The research study also intended to extract detailsregarding the plan of action students might consider when grades were not as expected

change comes withwhat materials that could be gathered. The original plan discussion first started with a tripod or aquad-pod design. Either design quickly became arduous in terms of balancing. With the legshaving to be made the same and attached at an angle, construction would be more difficult. Thisis when a square base became the ideal design. The structure itself will be well balanced and cansustain a substantial amount of weight. For the solar panel to have the most movement, deciding on having one pole holding up thepanel from the base was the best idea. Having multiple support poles would obscure the panel’smovement when it rotates to locate the sun. Also, having one pole will be more than enough tohold up the weight of the panel. With

Onepossible motivator is to ask students what they plan to be doing after they graduate.Typical biomedical engineering programs send students to graduate school, professionalor medical schools or industry. It is common for all of these pathways to lead to amanagement role.Since students generally have limited exposure to professional writing, it is helpful topass around a tip sheet with points to consider (Appendix C). For example, in BMEG401, students must write a one-page memo each week to update their mentor based upona tip sheet they receive the first day of class. As the semester progresses, and studentsbecome more effective memo writers, they receive additional tips that
