Quizzes also led to more engaging discussions in the classroom.ConclusionsThere is a clear need to convey the necessity for multidisciplinary education early in theengineering curriculum, so that students do not wait until their senior year to take courses inbiology. A good BioMEMS textbook that integrates fundamentals with applications would betremendously helpful to addressing the challenge of teaching the multidisciplinary topic ofbiomedical microsystems to engineers.

Early on, students could be asked to interact with the IC using current designs thatare on the market (like the toothbrush example discussed earlier) or by watching as others workthrough the design process. Later on, students could explore the individual sections of the IC ascomponents of different classes through the curriculum.
