Class activities take place in technology-equippedclassrooms or general laboratory spaces rather than in dedicated studio laboratory spaces, butstill maintain their active learning nature.Students in the biomedical engineering program are first exposed to the studio-like environmentin a four-credit first semester freshman introduction to engineering course.6 The major outcomefor this course is an understanding of the design process and the use of tools to support theprocess. Each three-hour class is dynamic, with many activities occurring in this time frame,such as working on designs based on LEGO-DACTA RoboLabTM platform as well as learningthe SolidWorksTM solid modeling package, Word, Excel, and engineering graphics

It wassimilarly intended to assist in the retention of students during the initial semesterof engineering classes. The course has had good student reviews, and seems tohave achieved its goals. This paper is intended to be of sufficient depth that the course may bereplicated easily elsewhere.Introduction The stated specific goals of this course include the introduction of thefreshman student to data analysis techniques in electrocardiography, medical andengineering nomenclature, engineering & engineering applied to medicine, technologies

The inquiry-based and hands-on laboratory exercisesin conjunction with extensive pre- and post-lab assignments successfully conveyed the complexbioinstrumentation, bioelectricity and measurement concepts. Upon completion of the course, thestudents were able to successfully utilize circuit models of biological systems, design andconduct laboratory experiments, and design bioinstrumentation systems with adequatebandwidth, amplitude linearity, and phase linearity to faithfully record a physiological event.References1.
