fieldas a result of the program. The increase in confidence level for performing engineeringcalculations is intriguing as no calculations were required for any of the laboratory modules.This may reflect an overall increase in confidence related to a better understanding of thebiomedical engineering field. The increase in confidence in performing laboratory experimentsis likely due to their performance of multiple hands-on experiments over the span of theprogram. In addition, the participants increased their knowledge of the educational opportunitiesavailable for them in the biomedical engineering program at Western New England College. It islikely that many of the participants were unaware of the institution itself as well as thebiomedical

their knowledge bybreaking the topics down for the high school level. The presenters were asked to fill out a shortquestionnaire (Table 3) about their experience of presenting their project for outreach. Whilethere were only a small number of student presenters (n=2), the feedback was good. They bothcited how the high school student questions allowed them to reflect on their knowledge.Additionally, both students cited methods of improving their projects as demonstrations,including using more games and focusing less on equations or actual lecture. The results fromthis questionnaire will be distributed to students in future courses, to allow them to see other’sreflections on their projects.Table 3: Questionnaire for students who presented their

was related to exams andhomework: students felt the instructor did not provided enough homework and feedback duringthe semester. We think these comments reflect the fact that practice exercises and homeworkload were heavily shifted to the laboratory session, while the main exams (midterm and finalexam) were given in the lecture section. It seems that the communication between the lecture andlaboratory did not work as well as expected (see comments in the table). While the content andpace of the laboratory session was influenced by the lecture session, there was no feedback in theother direction, with the lab influencing the lecture. Allowing for two ways flow of informationbetween lab and lecture, and having both session adapt to each other

Diabetes is a complex pathologic condition and addressing the diseaserequires a diverse set of approaches from fundamental understanding of disease pathology,disease management and treatment either of the disease directly or one of its manycomplications. The students joined projects related to diabetes that were already ongoing in thefaculty laboratories. Research projects in this REU program reflect this diversity, with projectsoffered in metabolic engineering, biomaterials, biosensors, and tissue engineering. Projects for2010 are shown in Table 1.

Each group or team is asked to explain any challenges they faced in manufacturingtheir side of the Cube and discuss the source of any flaws in the final produced piece or the fitwithin the assembly. The discussion about the evolution of the project from concept to prototypeto manufactured assembly also gives the students a sense of accomplishment and serves as anopportunity to reflect on what it took to bring this admittedly simple part to fruition.9.

more biomedically relevant experiment wasincorporated into the class. Rather than focusing on cell growth, a cell cytotoxicity experiment Page 25.21.3was developed based on appropriate ISO and ASTM standards (1-5). This experiment was 2motivated by lectures on biocompatibility and relevant biocompatibility tests for differentmedical devices, illustrating that cell cytotoxicity tests are required for all body-contactingmedical devices (1,6). At the same time, the amount of time required in lab both in and outsideof class was reduced to reflect the fact that the course was not a full credit course

topics listed on the tentative schedule in the course syllabus.More specifically, the students are instructed to submit the following by mid-semester: • A session outline that indicates how they wish to allocate their 25 minutes. • A list of teaching tools they plan to employ to most effectively demonstrate their topic (white papers, journal articles, web sites, videos, personal interviews, props, …). • An idea or two regarding a homework assignment that will better familiarize the other students with the subject. The assignment should be doable in about an hour and be focused enough that the other students can reflect on one facet of the chosen area. Because two sessions are planned for each 50-minute class

. The one exception was the conceptual Control Diagrams problem.5. Discussion5.1 Delphi Study This analysis of physiology and biology topics is the first that we are aware of. We foundagreement between responses from academia and industry participants, not only that some topicsare more important and others less important, but in general on the rank order of the topics.Perhaps this is not too surprising, because the highly rated topics primarily reflect the traditionalfields that biomedical engineers have worked in (cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and neural).Fields in which few biomedical engineers are currently involved were rated lower, although theremay be opportunities in these as well. No topics in physiology, aside from our one
