Paper ID #6343 Development of Verification and Validation Engineering Design Skills through a Multi-year Cognitive Apprenticeship Laboratory Experience Dr. Allison L. Sieving, Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University Allison Sieving is the Laboratory and Assessment Coordinator for the Weldon School of Biomedical En- gineering at Purdue University. She received her B.S. in Biology from Bowling Green State University. She earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Basic Medical Sciences and Biomedical Engineering programs at Wayne State University, respectively. At Purdue, her work focuses on developing and im- plementing undergraduate laboratory and lecture courses that address the evolving needs of biomedical engineers, and managing the ABET assessment program for the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineer- ing. Dr. Marcia Pool, Purdue University, West Lafayette Dr. Marcia A. Pool is an Instructional Laboratory Coordinator in the Weldon School of Biomedical En- gineering at Purdue University. She is responsible for overseeing and assessing junior level laboratories, bioinstrumentation and biotransport, and is involved with teaching and mentoring students in the Senior Design Capstone course. Recently, she has worked with colleagues to plan and implement a problem- based learning approach to the biotransport laboratory to improve students’ experimental design skills and has modified the course based on continual assessment practices during the first offering. Dr. Scott Alan Jewett Dr. Trisha Eustaquio, Purdue University Mr. Rajtarun Madangopal, Purdue University Alyssa Panitch PhD Dr. Kate Stuart, Purdue University Prof. Ann E Rundell, Purdue University, West Lafayette Ann Rundell is an Associate Professor in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue Uni- versity. The Rundell research laboratory is devoted to developing effective quantitative approaches to design therapeutic and experimental strategies for the predictable manipulation of cellular and physio- logical processes in desired manners as well as refine the understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The research approach integrates mathematical modeling, systems analysis, and control theory directly with experiments on cellular and physiological systems. The ultimate goal is to advance tissue engi- neering, therapeutic design, and personalized medicine based upon validated quantitative approaches that combine theory with experiments and link the controls community with the life sciences and biomedi- cal communities. Dr. Rundell is also actively involved in curriculum design and employs pedagogical advances towards engineering education. She was recently appointed the Vice Chair of the IFAC Tech- nical Committee on Control in Society and serves as a member of the steering committee for the IEEE CSS Technical Committee on Healthcare and Medical Systems. She has co-authored more than 30 peer reviewed articles, is a senior member in IEEE, and received the NSF CAREER award in 2009. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Page 23.434.1
