In response to these needs there are manyexperiences related to the teaching of these skills. One of the most comprehensive studies islocated in the Shuman work [3].

In contrast,the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and EmoryUniversity has chosen to develop an approach in which these skills are developed in the studentsthrough the use of problem-based learning (PBL) experiences infused throughout the curriculum.Separate problem-based learning courses are positioned in the first and second years. PBLexperiences are incorporated into instructional laboratories associated with third-year systemsphysiology and biomedical sensors courses.

In fact, design and development “is whatmost distinguishes engineering from science, which concerns itself principally withunderstanding the world as it is”. 1 As a result, many programs have emphasized design in anumber of ways, for example by incorporating design courses for first year students andthroughout their curriculum.2-3 In recent years, many papers at the ASEE conference have beendevoted to presentations on this topic, including an entire session in 2009.4-9At the University of North Carolina
