Technical communication skills (oral presentation andtechnical paper writing) are an integral part of the class. The emphasis of the course program isto deliver an understanding of the “process” of investigating a problem using the scientificmethod to biomedical engineers, and not focusing on the “correct” answer. The laboratory classprovides hands-on experience in proper laboratory use, experimental design, methodologies, andas well as building communication skills that are needed for careers in the various biomedicalengineering fields.IntroductionStarting a new biomedical engineering

Here, we just provide an overview of the outcomes; we later discuss several of theprojects in greater detail. From this, we move into how this will drive our future research.Methods Project Interaction consisted of five, one-hour workshops for each of the groupsparticipating.
