This laboratory exercise promotes a better understanding of fundamental masstransfer as related to kidney dialysis. In the biomaterials laboratory, students utilize commontensile testing machines to analyze the tensile and stress-relaxation behavior of a syntheticbiomaterial and a biological material. These reliable and repeatable experiments serve todemonstrate the similarities and differences between the two materials. This material testingexercise also encourages the students to begin to grasp design constraints which are important inbiomedical research areas such as the development of artificial skin and

In fact, they were called “Educational Delivery Vehicles” or“EDVs” to express the purpose of the old AV carts. Currently six are in use with two moreundergoing repair and refurbishing.

In today’s rapidly changing world, the public is becoming increasinglyinterested in, and aware of, the relationship between organisms and their environment. The roleof ecology and ecosystem studies has a proven place in an engineering student’s education,particularly in the emerging discipline of ecological engineering. However, students tend to lookat organisms as isolated elements, rather than as systems. This project was designed to highlightthe links between organisms and develop a systems
