project was done todetermine the frequency of requiring different types of programming, and whethergeneralizations can be made about the state of undergraduate BME education in this respect. Anumber of specific questions were addressed here, some more completely than others, asexplained in the results. To what extent is there a common set of computer skills that biomedical engineering undergraduates are expected to have? What is the distribution of the different types of computer programming courses across universities, in terms of the languages learned, computer skills for laboratory and design settings, and requirements for modeling and simulation? If there is a requirement for more than one computer language
Design Program. Passionate about expanding engaged, active-learning experiences and clinical immersion opportunities for students that improve their ability to execute the design process, Dr. Schmedlen has developed an undergraduate capstone design course, biomedical engineering laboratory, and clinical observation and needs finding course.Dr. Jin Woo Lee, University of Michigan Jin Woo Lee received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. Jin’s research focuses on studying and developing design strategies, particularly in problem definition and concept gen- eration.Dr. Prateek Shekhar, University of Michigan Prateek Shekhar is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Biomedical Engineering
. DesJardins is an associate professor in Bioengineering at Clemson University and the director of the Frank H. Stelling and C. Dayton Riddle Orthopaedic Education and Research Laboratory at CUBEInC. He has coauthored over 200 peer-reviewed conference or journal publications in the areas of biomechan- ics, biomaterials tribology, engineering education and implant design. He is active in many professional societies and review panels, including BMES, NCIIA, ORS, NIH and NSF. He is or has been the PI or co-PI on many multi-disciplinary research teams funded through NASA, DoT, NIH, DoD, NSF, the Gates Foundation, and numerous biomedical industry grants and contracts. He was a guest editor with the Annals of Biomedical

of increasing complexity. The teamsdevelop models, test their models with laboratory experiments, and validate their models withexperimental data. At the conclusion of the course, freshmen gain an appreciation for the powerof modeling physiological systems and can propose their own hypothesis, which they can thentest in lab. With practice, freshmen become more comfortable with the modeling process [3].They understand the value of solving challenging, open-ended problems with multiple potentialsolutions. Engineering students must learn to creatively ideate and assess numerous approaches,often with conflicting outcomes, starting their freshmen year. Modeling and design team-basedprojects engross students in learning beyond lectures and
