The course was co-instructed by two faculty members from the College ofEngineering, including one biomedical engineer and one electrical engineer (EE). Bothinstructors had prior experience with global health, including research projects involving medicaldevices and prior course-based trips to developing countries. Since one of the goals of thecourse was to create a multidisciplinary learning environment, the course was made

,2012; Tanner and Allen, 2007). There is ample evidence that engineering courses thatimplement evidence-based methods like active or project-based learning improve studentretention and performance (Bullard et al., 2008; Felder et al., 1998; Knight et al., 2007; Martin etal., 2007).Two beliefs limit education about teaching: First, many current STEM faculty members, at leastat the research institutions that are training all the future STEM faculty, do not view teaching assomething that can be learned. Second, teaching is not something that should be learned. Theyconsider time spent on teaching development to be detrimental to one’s productivity and futureprospects for jobs and funding. Neither of these is a valid argument. With the variety

Over the years, universities have adopted the capstone Senior Design project inorder to provide students the opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test in real-worldprojects. However, educators agree that obtaining competency in engineering design requireshours of hands-on practice beyond the time and scope of a university course. As a result, we arepilot testing a series of supplementary active-learning

Furthermore, we added, “An interactive moving picture is better than asimple moving picture,” (by adding interactivities). Ultimately, our goal is to build an onlineuser-interactive teaching/learning system, featuring animation and simultion for physicalprinciples, mathematical derivations and engineering implementations, so as to fulfill themedical imaging education tasks optimally.
