CurriculumThe landscape of today’s Biomedical Product Development Industry calls for a diverse set ofskills beyond the typical engineering fundamentals. The current Hospital Value-BasedPurchasing environment driven by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers forMedicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) measure all new products by their ability to improveclinical outcomes, increase patient satisfaction, and lower the cost of care.1 Preparing students tobecome leaders in the Biomedical Engineering (BME) industry therefore must include anunderstanding of health economics and a broad view of the continuum of care and overall impactof care.

biological modeling approach to someone who already has a solid background in mathematics, cell biology, and physiology. You must provide your “student” with the known mechanisms of a particular disease (with which you yourself are already very familiar), and then teach this person to determine the appropriate length scale at which to model the disease process (e.g. cellular, molecular, tissue, etc.) and to identify functional modules in which to compartmentalize the model. Rate your current confidence level at accomplishing this task on a scale of 1-5 (5 being “extremely high confidence”).8.

During the first week, students were provided with available materials pertaining to themodule and worked with group members and instructor(s) to devise and test a custom hypothesisinstead of using “cookie cutter” lab manuals. In the second week, students performedexperiments to test their hypotheses. During the last week, students either continued to performdata collection or complete
