 AbstractMany laboratory courses focus on teaching experimental techniques and often do this byproviding step-by-step protocols for students to follow. While this technique exposes thestudents to hands-on experiences and allows them to learn in a controlled environment, it doesnot always promote a deep understanding of the material because the students fail to constructknowledge. To address this, the sophomore-level systems physiology laboratory course has beenrecently modified to include more active learning.The systems physiology laboratory course is structured around measuring common physiologicalsignals, including EMG, EEG, ECG, and pulmonary function. Students work in groups and useBIOPAC hardware and software to record and analyze these signals

itwould be a required class. The proposed laboratory is being designed as a 3.00 credits class –preferably offered twice a week, giving the students sufficient time to complete each experiment.In order to create an efficient learning environment, we also propose this course to be offered toa maximum of 30 students per section. We believe that 15 groups is the ideal number for ahands-on course, allowing one Professor and one Teaching Assistant (TA) to supervise and assistthe students with questions, troubleshooting, and circuit analysis.By the completion of each experiment, each group needs to turn in a laboratory reportcomprising of all tables and graphs embedded in the laboratory guide, and their C-languagecode implemented. In addition, each

training in aguided fashion early in the curriculum. In order to effectively teach these important professional, technical, and life-long skills, wedeveloped a new sophomore-level lecture/laboratory course, BME 201, “BiomedicalEngineering Fundamentals and Design.” We offered it for the first time in Spring 2012, and ithas been taught twice so far. The weekly lecture focuses directly on professional skills, andintroduces students to the department’s five areas of study (bioinstrumentation, biomedicalimaging, biomechanics, biomaterials/cellular/tissue engineering, and healthcare systems) throughlectures by faculty in those areas. These lectures were recorded during the first offering so thatthe videos can be viewed outside of class, and the

Application of the lecture content is done in the classroomusually in small groups in the form of problem solving, laboratory activities (virtual or physical),group learning etc. with guidance by the instructor. The flipped classroom paradigm was firstintroduced 2007 for teaching high school science (1, 2) but has since attracted science andengineering instructors in universities and colleges (3, 4). Among its main benefits, the flippedclassroom enables students to receive the most support when they are working on the mostcognitively demanding tasks. The flipped classroom increases interaction between instructor andstudent and between student

Dr. McCullough was afforded the opportunity to work with Dr. Brian Adams, a well-known hand surgeon. In the summer of 2006, he began a post-doctoral fellowship at Mayo Clinic, working on orthopaedic biomechanics and physiology cellular imaging laboratories. This provided the opportunity to work with outstanding clinical and research mentors like Drs. Kai-Nan An, Kenton Kauf- man, Gary Sieck, Ann Reed, Harold Kitaoka, as well as others. His research at that time focused on non-invasive imaging of muscle tissue as well as cadaveric studies of the foot and ankle. Dr. McCullough is a faculty member of the first bioengineering program independently housed at a Historically Black College or University and is a part of

Typically, engineering tools such as force plates,electromyography (EMG), and motion capture systems are used to acquire subjects’ data to beused as input for simulation software, so to characterize human movement performance.Movement analysis is a topic of extreme importance to be presented to the
