narration and animations in the form of callouts to the PowerPoint lessons. A qualityUSB microphone, such as model AT2020 from Audio-Technica is used for the sound recording.To narrate the lessons using the text script while navigating through the slide presentation, it isconvenient to use a computer system with two video monitors. After the audio narration iscompleted, it is edited within Camtasia to remove verbal “hedges” and add the callouts. Inparticular, callouts are used to prompt the students to stop the presentations and solve the sampleproblems before reading through the solution. An MP4 video file of each lesson is generatedwithin Camtasia for posting on the Blackboard website associated with the Medical Electronicscourse. An example of

universities or colleges and found that 80 of themoffer graduate level medical imaging courses, and 68 offer undergraduate level medical imagingcourses. There are 51 institutions that have Internet-available medical imaging teaching materials;most of them have one or two imaging modalities, and among them 15 institutions have Internet-active (but not interactive) animation or simulation (Figure 1 right panel). Comprehensivediscussion for undergraduate medical imaging education has been published33. We mustacknowledge that the survey (in 2009) was based on the Internet available and accessibleinformation and it may not be the most accurate or updated. However, it clearly presents aprogressively increasing signal of the BME program and its key component

operation of the system in an interactiveand engaging way. Students are able to select either auto or step-by-step mode. In the automode the simulation shows students a chain of processes and the computer process controlmanipulations that occur during protein purification utilizing a computer controlled liquidchromatography system. The step-by-step mode enables students to explore each step,including controller settings and programming, in real-time detail. Students also learn how touse a chromatogram to make calculations, for instance how to calculate the efficiency ofcolumn packing, or the resolution of two peaks on a chromatogram. (Fig.3). Page

neural engineering begin their track by taking two foundationalneuroscience courses offered by the Biological Sciences Department. These courses, BioS286:Biology of the Brain and BioS 484:Neuroscience I provide much of the core contentessential for understanding and working with the nervous system. The core of the neuralengineering track consists of three neural engineering courses taught by BioE faculty(Fig. 1). BioE 472:Models of the Nervous System is a quantitative neurobiology coursefocusing on fairly classical topics in the domains of membrane physiology, signaling inexcitable cells, and synaptic communication. BioE:475:Neural Engineering 1 (NE1) is aseminar style course where students explore current issues in neural engineering by

people. Meeting the professors and lab students Learning things that I would’ve had to wait until later in high school to learn The hands-on experiments and experience were great I liked learning new things as well as looking through other college students daily lives at college [sic] I loved learning about BIOE and working with the other campers. The HIV models where our job was to find places in the process to target with drugs. I liked the bioengineering “simulations”, times where we could be creative and come up with our own solutions to problems. The lab tours were very interesting also. I liked the activities where we figured out solutions to world problems. All of the note-taking/lecture style “classes” Learning

The students also have the opportunity to learn asthey are needed, various technical skills including computer-aided design, finite elementanalysis, machining/fabrication, electronics and electrical measurement and design, LabVIEW,MATLAB and microcontroller programming, mechanical testing, and basic laboratorytechniques related to biomaterials and tissue engineering. As our student population has grown,we have had an increasing challenge to informally and effectively teach our students thesecutting-edge skills that will enable them to be better engineers. In addition, our BME StudentAdvisory Committee (BSAC) has expressed interest in having more formal, directed

for their students (generally sophomores orjuniors). The problem with all existing textbooks at this level (not an exaggeration) is that they Page 13.981.2contain few quantitative relationships, few, if any, problems to solve, and no sense of howmathematics or engineering topics relate to physiology. Each of these deficiencies exists despitethe fact that research in physiology is highly quantitative. Publishers generally claim that themarket is too small for an entry level quantitative physiology book (D.U. Silverthorn, personalcommunication). There are some simulation packages and computer labs that attempt to addressthis shortfall
