One of my favorite books is called “The World is Flat,” and it was at that moment that the world truly felt flat and so small. No accomplishment, advancement, product, or anything can be claimed by a single country now. Everything humanity does now is a global effort in every sense.The CURE students appreciated the universally positive work relationships that they shared withtheir PKU graduate student mentors but did not develop social relationships with them thatextended outside of the lab or their shared work. The mentors made the effort to make theirCURE colleague(s) comfortable in the labs by sharing

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
, such as a pre-and-post course skillsassessment, can be implemented in the future to address this shortcoming. 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.
