prosthetic foot. This immediately got me hooked on applying engineering to medical applications. I obtained my Biomedical Engineering PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My work focused on computational biomechanics. More specifically, developing musculoskeletal models of the body to simulate movement and see how surgery and soft tissue injury affects movement. During my graduate work, I was also a teaching assistant for Introduction to Biomechanics where I developed a love for teaching. I then did postdoctoral research at the University of Kentucky where I experimentally measured movements (e.g running form), which provides data that can be used to validate the models I build. Here at Gannon University, I will

To further develop these skills, it wasdecided to select students who did not speak Mandarin as the undergraduate laboratoryteaching assistants. As the course instructor and the lead electronic laboratory staff memberalso did not speak Mandarin, students would have to speak English during the lecture andlaboratory sessions. An invitation was also issued to the English specialist in StudentLearning Services who supports the School of Engineering to talk with the students abouttechniques for writing and making oral presentations during one of the lectures early in thesecond week of the OIP.The undergraduate laboratory teaching assistants also attended the tours with the GCU andUESTC students and

When the projectbegan, the Introduction to Engineering course was divided into tracks containing students fromsimilar engineering majors (e.g. electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computerscience). The course has been revamped; therefore, an alternative approach for integrating thegame into the course will be determined in the future.
