The bioengineeringeducation should ensure the students are able to acquire the vital engineering knowledge in thefield of biomedical engineering, and also to gain an appreciation of the art and science ofmedicine. Besides the occasional visits to hospitals and interaction with medical professionals,extended period of immersion in the hospital and first-hand interaction with the patients will bevery beneficial.

Although crude measuringtechniques are used at home, comparison between theoretical and experimental results is usually satisfactory. A key feature of the experiments is that they are simple and easy to carry out, requiring approximately one hour toperform. Aside from enhancing students’ comprehension of theoretical concepts, they provide opportunities for hands-onexperience-, encourage resourcefulness and raise questions about accuracy, approximations, assumptions and

Recognizing this change in industry expectations, variousinstitutions are seriously looking into modifying their curriculum (Sorsby et al., 1999). Forexample, the mechanical engineering department at MIT has been transforming the undergraduatemechanical engineering curricula from one primarily based on physics to one based on acombination of physics, information science, and biology (Suh, 2000).

Bird houses have been replaced withCO2 or mouse-trap-powered cars; the t-square with a computer and CAD software.” Neither thecomputer teacher nor the re-tooled industrial arts teacher involves students to any great extent inthe analysis and design of technologies.

A key assumption of the project is that it isimportant for science teachers to develop a base level conceptual understanding of engineering inorder for that understanding to facilitate the learning of science. This is opposed to simply“doing” engineering-types of activities or “hands on” projects without a

Furthermore, it was felt that thetransition from procedural C++ to Java wouldn’t be significantly different than the transitionfrom procedural C++ to object-oriented C++ and any difficulties in the transition would morethan be made up for by not having to cover material such as pointers, memory management,operator overloading, and templates.

Research in the field of memory demonstrates that how quickly andreliably students recall depends on; activation or how long since they last used the informationand strength or how well they practiced it. Standard departmental practice dictates passing aSenior Exam similar to the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, and completing a Senior Designproject. Data from several years of administering pre-tests of pre-requisite material clearlyindicate that student retention declines rapidly over time. A researched technique for memoryimprovement is Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recitation and Test or “PQRST”. This techniquepertains to our strategies.
