Page 23.1399.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Works in Progress: Development of Integrated Computer Simulations and Laboratory Exercises for Teaching Human PhysiologyStudents are typically taught human physiology by a combination of qualitative and quantitativedescriptions of basic functions. However, the resulting understanding of physiological functionresides in a system-specific framework that may hinder further explorations into other novelsystems outside the curriculum. Educational research supports that students, particularly youngadults, learn complex topics better through using simulations with instructional guidance.1,2Studies have also shown that simulations are best
