In subsequent courses, students perform the glucose tolerance test modeled inthis module on themselves and record the results. Efforts are currently underway to integratethese results with this module, and future work as well. We are hopeful that this type ofintegrative module will continue to be successful and that it will initiate the development ofadditional modules that can be used to both develop student’s computational skill and systems-level thinking, while also serving as a research platform for faculty seeking to develop or modifyexisting engineering models of biomedical system.Works Cited[1] M.

Students taking this course have had exposure to Matlabin the required curriculum, and given its widespread familiarity in the DSP community,Matlab is the logical choice for use as a prototyping environment.

. Faculty needs, more often than not, align with their research interestsand activities, and these are distant, if not disconnected, from the needs of their undergraduatestudents. Also, faculty often carry an impression of what the needs of professionals are that isoff base, by being either out of date or out of touch. Few discussions proceed on the basis ofevidence from alumni and employer surveys. Finally, computing is not part of the dailyprofessional existence of most faculty and is not expected to be. Their computing skills areoxidized, and most of their computing is carried out in the trenches by their students. This is,perhaps, part of the more general dilemma of faculty preparing students for a profession thatmany/most faculty themselves

engineering, the equivalent of a falsifiablehypothesis is the implicit claim made by the engineer that an artefact, system, or environmentwhich they designed will not fail [5, pp. 44–5]. The stakes, however, are considerably higher: When I was a student of engineering I came to fear the responsibility that I imagined might befall me after graduation. How, I wondered, could I ever be perfectly sure that something I might design would not break or collapse and kill a number of people? …Since then I have come to realize that my concern was not unique… But if we were all to retreat with our phobias from our respective jobs and professions, we could cause exactly what we wish to avoid.
