As a primary example, consider one of the lessons inthe Biomaterials course that focuses on corrosion. Instead of telling the students that today’slesson will cover concepts simply related to corrosion, and that they should study the assignedreading prior to the lesson, the following lesson objectives are also listed: a. Explain the thermodynamic reason for corrosion and develop the Nernst Equation. b. Analyze Evans plots and polarization curves to better understand corrosion rates. c.

While all thermodynamics courses generically involve learning about andapplying the first, second, and third laws, the actual applications of the laws vary among thedisciplines. Bioengineers have little need for thermodynamics directed toward design of powerplants (mechanical) or distillation columns (chemical). More pertinent topics include media

Overall, 90% of responding medical schools responded favorably to our BME undergraduate biology curriculum. Data from MCAT scores and admissions rates support the conclusion that our program of study, and by implication that of many other BME programs, meets the requirements for medical school admissions without compromising the rigor of the engineering curriculum or requiring additional coursework beyond organic chemistry. Advanced physiology and cell biology lectures and labs are of key importance.IntroductionAcademic advising for
