Note that similar to the case in (a), the direction of the reaction force from the tumor is normal to its surface at the contact point. f tumor = − k t δr − bt v .All of the aforementioned models are implemented in the Matlab/Simulink environment using s-function blocks.

For thisassignment, teams must: 1) Identify up to 10 desired functions of their device, based upon the user needs and objective tree. 2) Categorize each function as either basic or secondary. 3) Explain how both convergent and divergent thinking were used to brainstorm and refine device functions. 4) Determine the appropriate design specification(s) for at least five of the identified functions. 5) Categorize each specification as procedural, prescriptive or performance.To support this assignment, accompanying lectures define a function as an operation a devicecan perform and a specification as a measurable attribute of a device.

provides several possible subtopics toundertake as the senior design project. The faculty gives a list of journal articles (usuallybetween 3 and 6 total) related to one topic of the project (for example, ligament injurymechanism, biomechanical properties of ligament, cell-materials interaction, mechanicalstimulation, etc) to the team for review. Each student is also assigned one or two articles fromthe list, and is expected to thoroughly understand the assigned article(s). At the biweekly Page 26.672.6meeting, each student presents a summary of the assigned article(s), followed by discussion tocompare different studies and relate them to the
amount of time together, such asmedical students in training, are more likely to review peers’ work positively (even when thereview is anonymous) as a result of their rapport with one another. Our discrepancy may be dueto this phenomenon or may also be due to the relaxed CPR grading scale in 2007.As stated earlier, CPR was designed so that students would move through CPR’s calibration andreview stages and later return to their own work at the end of the session and evaluate their textsfrom a more informed perspective. According to Russell,1 “By the time [students] came to theself assessment stage [of CPR], they recognized and confronted their mistakes and accuratelyevaluated their own essays.” Similarly, Margerum et al.’s analysis9 suggests

A Chi Squared Test B Yates Correction C Subdividing Contingency Tables D A and B E All of the above Author Explanation: A) A chi squared test alone will only tell you the probability of a significant difference between the groups, not specifying which group(s) is(are) different. B) A Yates correction is a fix for chi squared test when you deal with 2 x 2 table (when degrees of freedom equals 1). If a Yates correction is done, it means that a chi squared test is done, therefore Yates correction alone is incorrect. C) A subdividing contigency
experiment’s main goal is to analyzereal ECG signals – either acquired by the ADS1298ECG, or by the analog ECG amplifier builtin Experiment #2.If using the ECG amplifier built in Experiment #2, that amplifier’s output can be directlyconnected to the OMAP’s analog input, which will allow it to be further sampled and displayedby winDSK8’s oscilloscope function. The ECG signal acquired by ADS1298ECG follows asimilar path, but now the signal is sampled before it is connected to the OMAP L-138baseboard. Regardless the signal acquisition tool used, both techniques allow the signal to bedisplayed on a computer screen, which will then permit the students to observe the normal sinusrhythm in the ECG waveform and the naturally varying heart rate.In addition, we

great scenarios were presented(kidnappings, etc.). For homework, each student individually was then assigned to seriously re-search what technology would be needed, develop cost estimates, and describe how (s)he wouldallocate the resources, and why. With rare exception, these reports were exceedingly well done.A few students weighed morality as an important consideration (e.g., addicted son gets the least).A Socratic discussion of critical care technology was interspersed with an explanation of bio-potentials (EKG, EMG, EEG), their sources and their clinical value. A lecture on the basis ofand use of life-support and/or rehabilitation technology in end-of-life situations followed. Thisthen led to a presentation on three seminal legal cases
teacher and student(s) are separated by physical distance, and technology(i.e., voice, video, data, and print), often in concert with face-to-facecommunication, is used to bridge the instructional gap.”2With the growth of distance learning programs, many question its appropriatenessand effectiveness. Research indicates that it can be as effective as traditional face-to-face instruction when the principles of good instruction are applied. That is, DEcourses are effective when technology and methods are aligned appropriately,when there is student-to-student interaction, and when students receive timelyfeedback.3 It is, however, the unprecedented range of technologies that causesmany institutions to select the technology first thus resulting in
courses, additional assessments, and/orminor revision of the assignment(s) used to demonstrate the competency in question. If less than70% of the submissions pass the criteria for a Program Outcome, we are committed to discussingand determining a program-level response. In the past this type of response has includedincreased coverage in multiple courses, assessment in additional classes, major revision of theassignment(s) used to demonstrate the competency in question, and/or reconsideration of therubric used for assessment.Following our initial program-level review, we revisited our performance criteria and rubrics toaddress any inconsistencies or redundancies that had been noticed by the faculty raters. We thenbegan the next cycle of review. As

BME Assessment Committee Evaluation, Results and DiscussionThe department’s Assessment Committee annually evaluates ABET Student Outcomeperformance from the prior year’s spring design course teams (BME 201, 301 and 400-402)using the team’s final report(s) and peer-evaluations. In brief, the Committee first calibrates itselfusing a randomly selected senior team by discussing any discrepancies in scores and theassessment process itself. Following the calibration exercise, the Committee Chair assignsreviewers to a random sampling of projects. At least two reviewers assess each project’sreport(s) and peer evaluations to the expectation of graduating seniors for all levels. In 2010, weestablished a rubric

Additionally, an even Page 22.1397.12closer interaction between lecture and laboratory seems to be required; perhaps only one course,in a mixed lecture-lab classroom should be implemented. As indicated by the student feedbackand by design the presented course does well to help closes the gap between college educationand BME professional practice.References1. Lee J.
