The worldwide need for rapid expansion and diversification of medical devices and the corresponding requirements in industry pose arduous challenges for educators to train undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) students. Preparing BME students for working in the research and development (R&D) in medical device industry is not easily accomplished by adopting traditional pedagogical methods. Even with the inclusion of the design and development elements in capstone projects, medical device industry may be still experience a gap in fulfilling their needs in R&D. This paper proposes a new model based on interdisciplinaryproject-basedlearning (IDPBL) to address the requirements of building the necessary skill sets in academia for carrying out R&D in medical device industry. The proposed model incorporates IDPBL modules distributed in a stepwise fashion through the four years of a typical BME program. The proposed model involves buy-in and collaboration from faculty as well as students. The implementation of the proposed design in an undergraduate BME program is still in process. However, a variant of the proposed IDPBL method has been attempted at a limited scale at the postgraduate level and has shown some success. Extrapolating the previous results, the adoption of the IDPBL to BME training seems to suggest promising outcomes. Despite numerous implementation challenges, with continued efforts, the proposed IDPBL will be valuable n academia for skill sets building for medical device R&D.

Development of satellite and launcher subsystems involves programming complex embedded systems and dealing with multiple system interactions while complying with both functional and technical requirements as well as software quality. Space onboard system project development is complex and is normally both time consuming and highly susceptible to errors. The combination of scrum agile methods with model-based programming addresses these restraints and allows synergetic interactions between team members. This paper describes the classroom experience of a group of students in the development of a Nanosatellite Event Simulator and its display interface for an Attitude Control and Determination Subsystem (ACDS). It was used the instructional technique of interdisciplinary project based learning (IPBL) and the software SAfety-Critical Application Development Environment (SCADE).
