gauges.Corresponding lectures focused on creating and reducing block diagrams and theconcepts of feedforward and feedback.Briefly, the lab protocol required the following steps:• Measure the pressure drop (∆P) between two points in the system (A and B) for a flow rate of 500mL/min• Constrict the tubing (using a variable clamp) between point A and B to increase ∆P.• Change something in the system (not the clamp) to return the original ∆P. Most students discover that decreasing the flow rate produces the desired reponse.• Explain in detail the algorithm they used to find the right flow rate.• How many adjustments did it take to get the right flow rate?• Repeat the above to create a plot of constriction level versus flow rate

Comparison Between Textual and Dataflow ParadigmsSeveral key points are worth noting in the two representations. First, textual representation needsa lot of attention to syntax and variables. In the example in figure 1, the variable c needs to beproperly declared and identified (int c=0). Secondly, the textual approach uses a proceduralapproach with one function following the other with no apparent “flow” of data making itdifficult to comprehend the objective of a program, whereas the

Page 12.13.4 3 These three criteria are embedded in the basic experimental design and can be seen inFigure 1. Because of randomization to conditions, prior to the delivery of the innovation(pre-test), the average performance across groups is expected to be equivalent (see A inFigure 1). Moreover, the gain observed between pretest and post-test for the innovationgroup (GainTx = B-A in Figure 1) can be judged against what

Ultrasound and Image Processing: To gain anintroduction into BME imaging, the students perform B-mode ultrasound imaging with a singletransducer. The transducer moves along a motorized stage over a phantom, and the motor andthe transducer data (collected via an oscilloscope) are coordinated using LabVIEW.Additionally, transducers having different focal depths are used to collect data so that thestudents can learn the effect of focal depth on the final reconstructed image. This lab not onlyteaches the principles of ultrasound imaging, but also a simple control system in LabVIEW. Thestudents are given a non-functioning version of a LabVIEW interface, and they must add thecomponents necessary for the system to operate correctly. The data are then
