Such an option would also draw upon other commonly offeredcourses in mechanics, materials, electronics, quality control and engineering economics. Theinvestment for the minimalist scenario is quite small The ‘process engineering’ course in this scenario should focus on product engineering andprocess engineering. The product engineering portion of this course would concentrate on partsthat would be fabricated and subsequently assembled into usable products. Parts would bedefined in some detail as to features, dimensions, tolerances, fits, finishes and the processesthrough which the material transformations are affected. Basic concepts of group technology arequite useful in this

Biomedical engineers differ from medical practitioners,and are similar to other engineers, in that they are involved in research for and development ofnew technology, and do not engage in the study, diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biomedicalengineers differ from other engineers, and are similar to medical practitioners, in that they aim tocontribute to good patient care and healthcare.

They arrive at college with a variety of expectations which are often not realized untilthey reach their Junior or Senior years. Their backgrounds in mathematics and science areprobably strong, and they may have participated in science fairs or class projects that are relatedto technology. However, they most likely have little or no sense of the complexity and attentionto detail that Engineering requires, or just how Engineers work and think as they solveengineering and design problems.Some engineering schools have required first
