Abstract
Proposed abstract for the NSF-Grantees Poster Session Stephanie Farrell Rowan University The relatively new discipline of biomedical engineering emerged from informalcollaborations between engineers, physicians and life scientists, and is the fastest growingengineering discipline at most universities. Chemical, mechanical, and electricalengineers play an important and expanding role in this burgeoning field because thefundamental core principles of each discipline are critical to biomedical mainstays suchas the design of artificial organs. This project introduces hands-on, biomedically-relatedexperiments and course materials into the engineering curriculum, with a focus onartificial organs. Several modules are being developed and integrated throughoutRowan’s engineering curriculum, into the multidisciplinary freshman engineering course,core engineering courses, and senior electives. The modules will be highly transferrableto other traditional engineering programs such as chemical, mechanical and electrical aswell as biomedical engineering programs. Our evaluation plan will examine specificlearning outcomes in core engineering areas as well as effect on retention, studentattitudes, and career choices.
