DESIGN OF LAB EXPERIMENTS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING APPLIED TO SOLVING BIOMEDICAL PROBLEMS Duy K. Dao, Shankar Krishnan Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston, MA 02115Abstract--Several challenges are faced by the educators to train engineers for the next decadedue to fast pace of advancement in technology. One of the challenges is to introduce interestingmulti-disciplinary applications of engineering concepts and tools, especially at the junior level.Signal processing is an essential course in most engineering programs. Introducing to students abiomedical problem and applying relevant signal processing techniques to solve such a problemcan be an effective pedagogical approach

ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova UniversityThe inverted classroom is a move from the traditional approach to education. By now, theidea of an inverted classroom is becoming well known within all levels of teaching. Thekey concept is for faculty to pre-record their lectures for students to watch before the classmeets, then to use the class time for interactive activities that help the students resolvemisunderstandings and develop deeper insight into the course materials. Recent advancesin video capability built into all our computers and tablets along with the increasedavailably of high-speed internet connections coupled with seemingly unrestricted storagein the cloud has made the feasibility of providing online explanations of the

a senior mentor before they are assigned a major design. Many engineers may work on existing industrial processes without having the opportunity to perform a major plant design in their career. • Sophisticated process simulators are readily available both to senior industrial designers as well as to undergraduates. These simulators have become so familiar that they are sometimes the first and only tool considered in a chemical engineering design problem. • The challenge to chemical engineering education is the incorporation of engineering judgment to evaluate and to guide computer simulations. One prominent means to guide such judgments is engineering heuristics or rules-of- thumb

that most Engineering students have a basic understanding of the SISystem of Units. In fact, many students readily feel that they have a good understanding of the SI System of Units when theyinitially begin their college educations. However, it readily becomes apparent that even though they can apply the equationsthat they have learned in their lectures toward problem solution, that they have little understanding of the inherent interactionof the units within those equations. Many engineering students could not use dimensional analysis to determine the correctequation on a test, if they had forgotten the proper order of the variables in the equation.
