相关和强大的生物医学工程课程整合了具有挑战性的、动手的工程设计项目，这些项目要求学生团队开发和交付功能原型，以应对生物医学设计问题。在生物医学工程(BME)课程中纳入此类项目不仅能为课堂带来积极的学习，还能帮助学生提高团队成员、决策者和问题解决者的能力。这项工作突出了二年级和三年级的工程设计项目如何能够增加学生的基础工程设计知识和自我报告的信心，接近设计项目。通过在整个BME本科课程中稳步增加工程设计经验的复杂性，我们继续研究工程经验的有意、垂直排列最终是否为BME本科生的高级设计顶峰项目和他们的专业追求做好了更好的准备。
Relevant and robust biomedical engineering programs integrate challenging, hands-on engineering design projects that require student teams to develop and deliver functional prototypes in response to biomedical design problems. The inclusion of such projects throughout Biomedical Engineering (BME) curricula not only brings active learning to the classroom but helps students improve as team members, decision makers, and problem solvers. This work highlights how sophomore and junior level engineering design projects can increase students’ fundamental engineering design knowledge and self-reported confidence in approaching design projects. By steadily increasing the complexity of engineering design experiences throughout the BME undergraduate curriculum, our continued work studies whether intentional, vertical alignment of engineering experiences ultimately better prepares BME undergraduates for their senior design capstone projects and their professional pursuits.
