Marshall PhD, University of Michigan John Marshall’s research focuses on: design methods; tangible interaction; and cross-disciplinary collabo- ration. He has a collaborative approach to designing, making and teaching that recognizes the boundaries of the problem being addressed, not the artificial boundaries of traditionally-defined disciplinary practice. Marshall is an Assistant Professor at the Stamps School of Art & Design and an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning
at the end of the test, perhaps your team will be interested in donating itto the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Department for demonstrations to future classes. Your primary criterion for this design project is SAFETY. Your system mustoperate without any hazards.Keeping SAFETY in mind, the following restrictions are placed on the design: Your team must provide and justify all of the components of your system. The systemwill be tested using a volume of 5 liters of ‘blood’. The maximum amount of ‘blood’ in yourheart-lung system (including any ‘blood’ lost via leaks from the system) is 1.5 liters. The systemshould maximize the oxygenation of the ‘blood’ – the minimum increase of dissolved oxygencontent must be at least 3 mg

The Laboratory incorporates areas forteaching and training, and has been designed to promote “hands-on” and “minds-on” learning. Itreflects the spirit of transformational learning that is a theme in the College of Engineering. The goal was to create discovery learning oriented experiments for a required junior-level“Design of Machine Elements” course in mechanical engineering that would give students prac-tical experiences and expose them to
