out, though, students in the nursing andengineering departments have been taught to process and accomplish responsibilities incontradictory styles. By no means does this indicate towards a superior method of understanding,but temporary struggles do rise out of the polarity between the linear consideration of theengineering mind and the wide eyed picture of the nursing mentality. In truth, part of thedifference stems from the contrast in motivating factors between the groups. The engineers findeasy participation and motivation but have more problems finding significant projects for all thestudents; whereas, the nursing students have abundant project opportunities but are seeminglymissing copious student contribution. By being aware and

After completing his Biomedical Engineering PhD studies in the National Institute of Applied Sciences (Lyon, France), he joined the faculty of the Electrical Engi- neering Department of Los Andes University in 1992. There, he actively participated in the development of the ”Studio Design Approach” for undergraduate students and performed research in the Biomedical Engineering Research Group. In 2003 he moved to the Department of

the process will be todevelop a solid understanding of design criteria for medical devices and how this interacts withmaintenance and usability issues5-8. This laboratory will serve as an essential bridge betweenclinical simulation and the Inventorium, in which biomedical engineering students will leadteams of biomedical engineering technology and nursing students in the creation of innovativeproducts, devices and processes. While it cannot be expected that every idea thus investigatedwill reach the market as a medical device or product, the act of creation and development will Page 22.1542.3help to train students’ minds in the engineering

given to each student: Course: This is a three-hour survey course whose aim is to give you a brief exposure to the biomedical and rehabilitation engineering field. As such, it is impossible for me to transmit any knowledge to you in detail. I hopefully will present you with a pretty good feel for the field, based on my 35 years of experience in it. To be fair, it also follows that assignments cannot have real depth. But they can be broad, and the can test the developing status of your engi- neering mind. The overview of necessity will not be comprehensive - rather an in depth look at each topic is left to other topical classes that you will take later in your academic career. In all cases we will try to integrate lectures and clinical

He is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering. He has been the president and CEO of IPM, a medical device company and Total Dynamics LLC a software company. He is also on the board of directors of Developing World Technologies, a company started by former students of the capstone class that he teaches. His interests include engineering and entrepreneurship
AC 2011-1752: A SEMESTER-LONG STUDENT-DRIVEN COMPUTATIONALPROJECTJoe Tranquillo, Bucknell University Page 22.98.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 A Semester-Long Student-Driven Computational ProjectIntroductionEngineering computing is a topic that is included in the curriculum of many biomedicalengineering departments and a topic with which many other engineering disciplines havewrestled (7-8, 10, 14, 23, 30, 32). Yet, the philosophical underpinnings and pedagogicalgoals of a computing course are often nebulous. Should the course lean toward anadvanced engineering mathematics course (e.g. linear algebra

This suggests that enhancement of the electronic experience itself could allowmore students to recognize the learning benefits of this technology.References1. Howard L.
