AB  - Calls for reform in science education have promoted active learning as a means to 
      improve student engagement (SENG). SENG is generally acknowledged to have a 
      positive effect on student learning, satisfaction, and retention. A validated 
      14-question survey was used to assess SENG in a variety of upper- and lower-level 
      physiology courses, including 100-level Anatomy and Physiology 1, 300-level 
      Animal Physiology, 400-level Advanced Physiology, and 500-level Medical 
      Physiology courses. The results indicated that SENG did not vary consistently by 
      course level, format, or curriculum. The highest levels of SENG were found in the 
      Advanced Physiology course, which included SENG as a primary objective of the 
      course. Physiology student SENG scores were compared with National Survey of 
      Student Engagement (NSSE) scores. The results demonstrated that physiology 
      students enrolled in the Anatomy and Physiology 1 course reported lower levels of 
      SENG than first-year students that completed the NSSE. Students enrolled in the 
      Advanced Physiology course reported higher levels of SENG than fourth-year 
      students that completed the NSSE. Assessment of SENG offers insights as to how 
      engaged students are, identifies where efforts may best be applied to enhance 
      SENG, and provides a baseline measure for future comparisons after targeted 
      course modifications.
