internal functionscomputers are designed to provide.Using this TCS/computer package, students can begin to examine and analyze computers as heatgeneration/dissipation machines, not just as the computational or information gathering machinesthey are always assumed to be. And although it was designed for use by students in the study ofpractical applications of heat generation and transfer, it could also be used for a more rigorous,theoretical engineering-type examination. The issue that must be resolved, however, is whichapproach is most appropriate for the engineering technology students intended. Page 8.371.12“Proceedings of the 2003 American

Dr. Whittinghill’ s research focuses on simulation, gaming and computer pro- gramming and how these technologies can more effectively address outstanding issues in health, educa- tion, and society in general. Dr. Whittinghill leads projects in pediatric physical therapy, sustainable energy simulation, phobia treat- ment, cancer care simulation, and games as a tool for improving educational outcomes. Dr. Whittinghill is the director of GamesTherapy.org. Prior to joining Purdue he was a senior software engineer in the research industry focused upon the fields of visualization, games, agent-based modeling, digital
process andprofessional development. The method we used to answer these questions was conceptmapping. A concept map is a spatial representation of ideas and their relationships. Toidentify key concepts and processes associated with biodesign, we asked 15 experts toconstruct a map reflecting their definition of the biomedical engineering design process.Findings from this work were used to establish a biodesign taxonomy and benchmarks ofexpertise. Our taxonomy contained six broad categories: the design process, motivationfor the design, interpersonal skills, technical skills, societal concerns, and marketing. Wethen applied our benchmarks to the maps of 32 undergraduates enrolled in a two-semestersenior biodesign course. Students constructed maps
