This is one of the most valuable skills gained through this type of project.Detailed drawings were required as well as an assembly and bill of materials for the device as aform of working drawings. At this point in the project, the models of the devices matched theproposed designs, however, the designs had not yet been constructed. All models were requiredto be updated as modifications were made to the devices as they were built.Students developed g-codes to machine the manufactured parts of their devices as well asmanufacturing process plans for all machined parts. The requirement for this phase of theproject was that someone else should be able to manufacture their parts for them from thedocumentation supplied. This was

literacy is commonly referenced as an increasingly important 21st century skillneeded in today's knowledge-based economy. ABET’s criterion 3.i declares that students have“a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” Shuman,Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty1 propose several attributes of lifelong learning, including“follow a learning plan; identify, retrieve, and organize information; understand and remembernew information; demonstrate critical thinking skills; and reflect on one’s own understanding.”These criteria align well with the core concepts of information literacy. Information literacy ismost popularly defined by the American Library Association as set of skills that enables theability to recognize the need

While in-person learning hasits benefits for engineering courses during the regular semester, it may not be practical during thesummer semester.

A revised version was fabricated taking the moving parts into consideration to make it a dynamic prototype. Future work is planned to design a suitable test fixture to perform pseudo in-vitro testing of the prototype aortic valve. The subsequent phase of the project could involve controlled testing of the prosthetic aortic valve on a specially designed test fixture or implanted in an animal to validate safe and proper functioning of the prototype In conclusion, utilizing SolidWorks to design and 3D Rapid Prototyping in BME design

. • At many universities and colleges, several courses fill up quickly. Students take short term courses over winter and summer intermission to keep up with their educational plans. • Taking summer and winter break courses can shorten the duration of college education. A student can finish a four year degree in three or three and a half years. • At many universities and colleges especially research institutes, faculty members are extremely busy. Offering short courses gives such faculty members the time they need to meet the demands of their research agenda and other obligations. • Some students prefer taking one or two courses at a time during summer and winter breaks instead of five or
