It is our hope that this will inspire students not only to enter a graduateprogram, but also to seek a program with an international component.An additional, and equally important, goal of CURE is to build relationships between personnelin the three collaborating institutions by linking the collaborators and their work with each otherthrough these students. We conceptualized the participating student as a resource that would beshared by the collaborating laboratories and, thus, would be prepared by the Georgia TechTech/Emory PIs and mentors to

The MEA wasdesigned for an introductory biomechanics course targeted primarily at junior bioengineeringstudents, although the class also included sophomore and senior-level bioengineering students.The biomechanics course focused on teaching the basics of statics and continuum mechanics asapplied to the human body, and featured topics related to assessing strength of materials forengineering design. Overall, the class consisted of 94 bioengineering students split between twoclass sections.Considering the general goals and objectives of the biomechanics course, the MEA was

interface of engineering, medicine and ethics, while allowing students ofdiffering majors to explore areas of BmE of interest to them.Given that so much of the course depended on instructor-class interactions, where significant un-scripted (but theme-driven) information was exchanged, the students were required to take notesin a bound laboratory notebook. A secondary goal of the notebook requirement was to encouragestudents to learn to take good notes. The quality and content of a student’s note-taking for eachlecture was graded every two or three weeks based on whether the essence of the lecture (i.e., its3 to 6 main points) and enough supporting material (like graphs) were captured such that thenotebook could serve as a later introductory

We currently offer one sectionwith an enrollment of approximately 50 students.A second logistic problem is availability of appropriate texts and material. While the First,Second, and Third Laws of thermodynamics cross all engineering disciplines, applications tendto be discipline specific.

Universities today have attained top of the line environments for “realworld” engineering application laboratory and design processes. However, students find thatdespite having a solid education of applying theory to engineering ingenuity, there is littleexposure to existing equipment. Sure, classes build a strong backbone of basic and complexprinciples on which we create designs from the ground up, but there is also value in seeing whatis already out on the market and how current products fair with the human interaction. Armedwith this knowledge and searching for a source of information on hospital assessments, the
