His research, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, aims to develop a treatment for the millions of Americans suffering from myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases. In May of 2012, he co-founded a company based on some of the pioneering technology developed in his laboratory. Prof. Gaudette also teaches biomedical engineering design and innovation, biomechanics and physiology. He promotes the development of the entrepreneurial mindset in his students through support provided by the Kern Family Foundation. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017

Neither institution had a structural engineering laboratoryprior to this implementation, but both focus heavily on the undergraduate learning experience.The project utilizes the Modular Strong-block Testing System [3] when needed to test larger-scale specimens. While a full structural engineering lab would be ideal to conduct such tests, theself-contained system provides an economical

For example, in one unit, students were introduced during lecture to the concept ofcochlear implants. Students learned about how the device itself works, including microphone, Page 26.1482.6microcontroller, digital signal processor, implanted electrodes, etc. They also learned about anddiscussed ethical issues surrounding cochlear implants from the perspective of both the medicalengineering and deaf

set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate between inductive and deductiveprocesses, thus broadening their design vision and understanding the experimental approach toengineering design. There is potentially a real need to
