Such attempts generally involve low cost, easy to obtain materials. For example, anice cream maker is used to teach process engineering [5]; in another instance students examinewhat happens when pop goes flat [6]; others employ a stir-plate and ice bath to study kinetics,heat transfer and sensor dynamics [7]; a mug warmer and CPU cooling devices are used forstudying heat transfer [8]; and a cup of coffee to teach transport phenomena [9].What has been lacking are

Students are engaged in thescientific discovery process as they explore the engineering systems within the human bodyusing exciting hands-on “reverse engineering” methods. The modules explore respiration,metabolism, pulmonary mechanics, the cardiovascular system, work and power, electricalsignals, biomechanics, and mechanics of materials. Through the investigation of these systems,students learn basic concepts of mass and energy balances; fluid flow; work, energy, andefficiency; forces and levers; material strength and stresses; and electrical signal processing.This paper describes each module and includes an outline of the relevant measurements,calculations, and
