As CSULA begins todevelop this BME program, we have aimed to make the limited opportunities available to ourstudents in BME thus far as enriching as possible.Over the past year, we have exploited the unique user interface of the HP Tablet PC to restructurethe teaching / student learning paradigm in the Biomedical Instrumentation course and to involvestudents in a biomedical engineering research project. Our objectives were to engage students inlearning BME course material by incorporating a technological gadget which students find funand interesting in and of itself, provide an avenue for interaction with the teacher and otherstudents, and aid instruction by allowing for an engaging method for on-the-spot assessment andfeedback

graduates1. BME graduatesrequire a broad education having a solid background in science, engineering, and providing thebase for innovation. Since medical electronics is one of the fields where BMEs can develop theircareer, it is important that BMEs who wish to move in this direction, graduate with the technicalskills required to develop and test innovations in the form of electronic device prototypes. Thecourse investment used by conventional engineering programs to foster and hone these skills isnot practical in a four-year BME program. It is then necessary to efficiently teach a broadspectrum of electronic concepts with a limited course credit impact, in order to enable BMEs tobecome effective users of electronics technology in the medical field

engineers. In order to better understand the needs and makecontributions more effectively, it is important for mechanical engineering students to learn basicand relevant medical knowledge through interdisciplinary courses and get ready for a job in theorthopedic industry. Student-centered learning is a key to success in dealing with new learningdifficulties for interdisciplinary courses. WWW-based e-Learning, problem-based learning(PBL) and design-based learning (DBL) are commonly used approaches to student-centeredlearning. Current trends in medical education suggest a move toward PBL, with an emphasis onstudent-centered education and use of information technologies, such as interactive visualimages3.

The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology, Inc. (ABET) is the organization responsible for monitoring, evaluating andcertifying the quality of engineering, engineering technology and engineering-related highereducation programs in the United States1. In 2000, new outcomes-based criteria wereestablished called EC2000 or EC. As a condition for accreditation, which is entirely voluntary
