bioelectricphenomena. The students are enrolled in the biomedical engineering concentration within thenewly accredited general engineering program at East Carolina University. Bioelectricphenomena were introduced through a group project so that, in addition to learning new subjectmatter, they would (A) integrate knowledge developed in prerequisite and co-requisitecoursework in a new setting, (B) develop their independent research skills, (C) gain experienceworking in teams, and (D) develop facility to apply their new knowledge, not just recite it. Thesetraits are considered to be important aspects of the program goal to producing work-readyengineers.Teams of 3-4 students were given a model of an axon, surrounding tissue and a stimulating nervecuff, written in
