for education.Dr. Michael B. Lawrence, University of Virginia Page 24.38.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 A Course in Biomaterials Taught Using the Socratic MethodThe consensus definition of biomaterial is “a nonviable material used in a medical device,intended to interact with biological systems.1” The emphasis on nonviable materials intended tointeract with biological systems has perhaps guided the development of modern day education inbiomaterials science. That is certainly the case of the undergraduate course in Biomaterialstaught at the University of Virginia
Paper ID #9606Work In Progress: Coordination of Pre-College Summer Programs to Createa Pipeline into Biomedical EngineeringDr. Matthew B. A. McCullough, North Carolina A&T State University NC A&T Alumnus graduated from A&T in 2001 with a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering. Dr. Mc- Cullough obtained his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Iowa in 2006, under the advisorship of Dr. Nicole Grosland. His research focused on hand and wrist musculoskeletal biome- chanics, and in particular total wrist arthroplasty and upper extremity kinematics. This experience was especially rewarding as
themachieve a more in-depth understanding of the material (rather than just memorizing information).Since teaching requires a basic understanding of the material and a plan for conveying thismaterial, teachers often learn by (a) reviewing: working with the material while preparing toteach another, and (b) reformulating: organizing the content in a meaningful way that associatesthe material with what the student already knows. Research suggests that learning by teachingalso helps improve communication skills and that it provides the students with an opportunity toexperience realistic social interactions while applying their content knowledge in an appropriatelearning environment5, 10.Description of the Systems Physiology LaboratoryThe Systems

Pool, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign At the time of this work, Marcia Pool was an Instructional Laboratory Coordinator in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University; she is now a Lecturer at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. At Purdue, she oversaw and assessed junior level laboratories, bioinstrumentation and biotransport, developed and implemented sophomore and junior professional development courses, and taught and mentored students in the
walls. External markers of differentcolors are placed on bony landmarks to track their movement. In this experiment fluorescentmarkers are positioned of the styloid process of the radius, the epicondyle of the humerus, thehead of the humerus, the acromion process and the scapular spine to track the position of wrist,elbow, shoulder, and scapular motion associated with eating (Figure 1-2). Depending on themodel complexity chosen to analyze the data, not all of the markers will be used in the dataprocessing phase.

theoretical introduction to provide the students with all the information needed from circuit design, software development, or digital signal processing. In the lab guide introduction, we also offer the students with an overall motivation to conduct that particular experiment, as well as the challenges that will be tackled. B. Pre-lab: Before each experiment, the students should answer a series of 5 quick questions. The pre-lab’s role is to allow the students to recapitulate the key points of the theory that will be needed during each experiment. C. Procedures: This section of the laboratory guide contains the procedures that each student/group must take in order to complete the experiment. We provide a

The Cronbach’s alpha for the BSS survey was 0.964 indicating excellent internalconsistency. A confirmatory factor analysis yielded coefficients greater than 0.7 indicating thatquestions intended to address the same latent variable (flipped classroom, muddiest points,design project, class activities, and pencasts) did so.

Cherner, a Founder and President of ATEL, LLC, taught science, engineering and technology disciplines to high school, college and university students. He has extensive experience in writing cur- ricula and developing educational software and efficient instructional strategies. Dr. Cherner introduced an innovative concept of multi-layered simulation-based conceptual teaching of science and technology. This instructional approach uses real-world objects, processes and
-ended real-life or simulated design exercises.The flipped classroom paradigm is being implemented in “Medical Electronics”, a requiredcourse within our undergraduate curriculum. Approximately 50 engineering students, juniors andseniors, enroll in this semester-long course every year. The goal of the course is to introducestudents to the analysis and design of analog electronic circuits at the core of biomedicalinstruments. The students learn about essential functions such as signal sensing, direct current(dc) power generation, signal amplification, and conditioning, and about the electroniccomponents used to implement these functions: bio-transducers, diodes, transistors, andoperational amplifiers.The course learning objectives include: 1) the
