Worst of all, it is often very challenging tosynchronize data collected from different types of experiments. Without the properlysynchronized data collected from tissue mechanical test and body motion analysis, the studentswill have difficulty understanding the causality between the biomechanics of body motion andtissue mechanics A successful example of the implementing FEA simulation in tissuebiomechanics lecture1 or the introduction of a digital image motion analysis in the lecture tocover biomechanics of body motion2 were reported in the

Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver
