This paper will discuss the design and impendingimplementation of a two-year “biomedical engineering technology” program tailored to meet thee-healthcare workforce needs of the end of this decade and those required as we move into the2020s for both clinical sites and home environments.IntroductionDuring the early 1970’s, Springfield Technical Community College (STCC), a commuter collegelocated in the center of Springfield, Massachusetts established a distinct two-year BiomedicalInstrumentation Technology (BMIT) associates in science (AS) degree program. The programwas typical of biomedical technology programs of the time and had the goal of graduatingtechnicians that could deal with biomedical equipment in a

Developing Representations to Scaffold Capstone Design R. Alan Cheville, Michael S. Thompson Bucknell UniversityThis presentation discusses how representations—methods for how ideas are expressed—havebeen incorporated into a capstone design project in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Overthe past several years the authors have been developing methods that effectively represent thedesign process. This work discusses how four different representations were implemented in thefirst semester of a one year capstone design course to allow student teams to self-manage aproject in the second semester. The four representations are: 1) A functional abstraction that
