Our team iscurrently developing a low-cost, high-precision, table-top ultrasound system optimized foreducation and student-led research. In parallel to hardware design, we are also creating anintegrated curriculum for fundamental engineering concepts relevant to undergraduates inbiomedical, mechanical, and general engineering programs.

With these four projects,students would be able to use the engineering design process to apply their knowledge andunderstanding of basic physics concepts.

Kolb (2000) in his Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) highlights the necessity ofcyclical instruction. ELT divides the learning cycle in to four phases: experiencing, reflecting,thinking, and acting. As a model for education, this process is both planned (formatted) andresponsive to the situation and content/skills being learned: activities are structured and plannedbut flexible to include individual. The cyclical nature of ELT supports this project in thenecessity of revisiting concepts at various points, over time to solidify and deepen a learner’sknowledge or concept acquisition and mastery
