student in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin Madison, College of Engineering. Design and fabrication has been one of his main activities and hobbies his entire life while growing up on a farm in rural Wisconsin. He has been on the Intro to Engineering Design teaching team for three years and is currently the Teaching Assistant in charge of planning and coordinating all fabrication training and seminars. His graduate research focuses on usability testing and implantation systems for open source software and low cost electronics in developing countries. He is also the TA for the Triathlon Training course on campus and loves to teach people at every chance

Biomedical Engineering faculty saw manyplaces to incorporate these together.During the freshman design course, teams are used to design, build and test a product intendedfor rehabilitation. Student teams work with the machine shop and the rapid prototyping center tocomplete these projects. In this course, the teamwork is stressed and effective teamcommunication is discussed.Students take this experience and apply it to their senior design courses. Students spend over twoyears in a team completing the senior design sequence. This includes a marketing analysis,business plan, feasibility study, system and component design, design reviews, building andtesting. Students have the ability to “hire” engineers from other majors to help them completetheir

realizing the potentialof distance learning. We will share our lessons learned, student survey results, and our plans forimproving distance learning offerings.IntroductionTeaching to students who are not physically on site is not a new notion for correspondenceclasses began as far back as 1728 when students taking short hand lessons could send in theirlessons.1 Given today’s technologies, however, students can virtually attend classes and partakein labs. It is estimated that a third of all post-secondary schools offer distance learning (DL)options and that the number of enrollments will steadily increase.2 Simply put, distance educationis defined as a formal education process in which the student and instructor are not in the sameplace with an

achieving learning outcomes and a perspective from thestudents now in the capstone design sequence.Course ContentTopics in bioengineering product design are introduced using in-class activities, most of whichfocus on the HLPR Chair or the Benchmarking project, detailed on the following pages. Thefirst eight classes introduce steps of the design process as outlined in the text (product planning,customer needs, product specifications, concept generation & selection, and concept testing).The students and instructors approach the design process as a design team tasked withidentifying improvements to developing the next generation of the HLPR Chair based oncustomer needs and previous testing. Once such activity is described in the following

Ateam of instructors from CS, ECE and BME backgrounds will provide the foundation of basicconcepts required and then the student teams will collaborate to the final design. The approachattempts to exemplify the type of work that could take place in a real application.IntroductionThe University of Texas at El Paso offers bachelor programs in Electrical Engineering and inComputer Science.
