multidisciplinary teams that were used in this course reflected a bimodal academicdemographic since the course contained students from engineering and sciences. In futurecourse offerings, a wider range of academic backgrounds will be sought, including students fromthe arts and business-related studies. It is expected that this increased diversity will have apositive effect on the learning process since it will enable teaming that is more reflective of thegroups addressing health issues around the world today.References[1] National Academy of Engineering, Grand challenges for engineering, Available online: http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/?ID=11574, Accessed January 11, 2012.[2] S.

control in many different perspectives. It can be forecasted that students can gainBIM knowledge and skills more thoroughly within a current curriculum. The steps are listedbelow: Determine the goals to be achieved by applying BIM into teaching. Choose method(s) to apply BIM into courses. At this step, it was determined to use several existing courses. Employ different teaching styles. The selection of teaching style depends on various stages of BIM knowledge and applications, the nature of courses, and the teaching expertise of course instructors. Set up a course framework that integrates BIM concepts and determine changes to be made to the current construction

Any type of IP data can be transmitted although the 3G cellular networkdoes have bandwidth limitations that must be considered.Figure 2 shows how EKG transmittal is achieved both physically and logically aboard theambulance. The patient is connected to the defibrillator and thrombolytic data is captured. Thisdata is archived in the memory of the defibrillator and is then transmitted to the 911 center RSServer as IP packets. These packets are then rendered into a proprietary format on that serverwhich can then be exported and transmitted via email to the emergency room. This
