Therefore,one important focus of the INSPIRES Curriculum is to increase student awareness ofengineering careers. The “Engineering in Health Care” module highlights biomedicalengineering, an area with significant appeal to female students (biomedical engineering leads allengineering disciplines in the percentage of degrees awarded to women) yet very limitedexposure in high school.The INSPIRES Curriculum uses engineering design challenges and problem-based learningstrategies to increase technology literacy as defined by the International Technology EducationAssociation.

Approximately 65 students each semester interact withsurgeons and investigate the technological challenges that face these practitioners. Invitedsurgeons come from various disciplines, including cardiovascular surgery, plastic andreconstructive surgery, surgical oncology, trauma surgery, minimally invasive surgery, oral andmaxillofacial surgery, bariatric surgery, thoracic surgery, and orthopedic surgery. Visits to alocal hospital (Allegheny General Hospital) provide the students with hands-on experience witha number of technologies utilized by surgeons. These

It is evident that computer simulations and haptic robotics complementeach other. The combination of these two experiments enhances the learning experience ofstudents majoring in biomedical engineering and they provide the venue for assessing theirability to “apply and in depth knowledge of biology.”5.
