- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate.

science.[17] While Gasset’sseminal work has defined the line in the sand between a scientist and the more technicalprofessions, the debate on developing a philosophy of engineering continues. Gravander gives anumber of examples in his recent work to divide a philosophy of engineering from a philosophyof science. Foremost, although mentioned as an aside within his work, a philosophy ofengineering is not a philosophy of technology. To these ends, it is important to understand theintentions of Heidegger’s works when applied to an engineering sphere. Heidegger had a numberof applications for his ideas on thought at the time they were written, and one would be remiss toeliminate the engineering bent from them simply because he used the world
