Page 23.1399.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Works in Progress: Development of Integrated Computer Simulations and Laboratory Exercises for Teaching Human PhysiologyStudents are typically taught human physiology by a combination of qualitative and quantitativedescriptions of basic functions. However, the resulting understanding of physiological functionresides in a system-specific framework that may hinder further explorations into other novelsystems outside the curriculum. Educational research supports that students, particularly youngadults, learn complex topics better through using simulations with instructional guidance.1,2Studies have also shown that simulations are best

bioengineering laboratory courseAbstractSuccessful engineers are competent in 21st century skills (problem-solving, critical thinking,technology literacy, creativity, independent learning, excellent communication, and collaborationskills), as well as technical and mathematical principles in order to develop societal solutions.Typically, undergraduate engineering programs utilize capstone design projects and problem setsto promote understanding and integration of engineering concepts. However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to

In exploring Academic Programs and Careers further, many of theexperiences were related directly to the undergraduates’ academic and career paths and exposureto graduate school and laboratory careers. In Teaching and Learning, REU students describedvarious methods and strategies (i.e., demonstration, questioning, and discussion) the graduatestudents used to teach them about their research project. In regards to Building Relationships, thegraduate students were described as mentors, collaborators, and supervisors. In summary, thisresearch provides insight into role of the graduate student mentors in

He currently teaches undergraduate courses in bioinstrumentation, physiology, circuit analysis, lab-on-a- chip, and global health. He also serves as the faculty advisor for the Engineering World Health (EWH) Club, and is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). His research interests involve the development of point-of-care medical technologies, including bioinstrumentation for use in low-resource settings.Dr. Andrew Wellesley Browne, Harvard Medical School, University of Southern California

The entire system consists of three parts:video recording, markerless mocap, and electromyography (EMG) data collection. Threestudents and one faculty mentor from the Iron Range Engineering, an engineering program at theMinnesota State University- Mankato, developed the idea and completed the project for thePediatric Neuromotor Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

formatappropriate for journal submission, engage in anonymous graded peer review, and subsequentlyrevise their papers for a final score. Writing review articles is, however, primarily an exercise inaccumulating and organizing knowledge.Often a different approach is taken with graduate students, where the goal is to emphasizeanalysis and synthesis rather than knowledge. For example, the analysis of raw experimental datahas been used as a case-based approach to enforcing higher-order cognitive skills 3. Thisapproach may not be appropriate, however, for many undergraduate classes. Further, thisapproach was not designed to teach the basics of researching the technical literature, writing in atechnical style, or of engaging in peer review; these are often
