These visits were arranged by contacts in Guatemala,and approval was obtained from the facility administrators prior to the visits. During the visits,the students conducted a needs assessment by interviewing and surveying administrators,healthcare workers, and patients at the

Assume the device is made up of a semi- permeable membrane enclosing pancreatic islet cells, and that the encapsulated cells respond to glucose levels in the surrounding body fluids and secrete insulin as needed. ii. A silicone breast implant that serves a primarily aesthetic function. b. List three properties of an implant that may contribute to the development of chronic inflammation or a foreign body response, and briefly explain how each may contribute to prolonging the inflammatory response. c. For each of the following medical devices, state the category in Table 1 that it would fall under (by specifying body contact type and contact

practice the Four A’s strategy through a homeworkassignment in which they were asked to apply the Four A’s to a particular laboratory situation(Appendix B). The proposed case was based on a real-life example.Assessment ResultsReflective Assignment: The main goal for this assignment was to provide students with thechance to reflect on the material discussed and place it into context. Students were evaluated onwhether they provided a well-developed reflection on the implications and a personal evaluationof the proceedings (Appendix A). For the most part, students were able to synthesize theinformation presented and put it into the context of their own lives or future career goals. Withthe majority of students, obvious effort was put into

, and programming, (b) stark variations in the core interests of thestudents, and (c) cultural disparities between engineering departments regarding reasonablelevels of assignment difficulty and commensurate time investments. To help address some ofthese issues in a junior-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course, the author haschosen (for four recent Spring course offerings) to set aside two to three weeks of each 16-weekcourse for discretionary topics chosen by the students. Each student or student pair then takes onthe role of the instructor and teaches that topic to the rest of the students in the format of a 25-minute seminar. Students must assign homework to their peers and grade the results; thesegrades are then entered into
