In January 2015, Colin re-joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering as Professor and Assistant Chair, having previously spent a year in the School of Nursing. From 2008-2013, Colin was the Director of the Coulter-Case Translational Research Partnership (CCTRP) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Colin’s research interests are on educational pedagogy, the practical application of simulation and healthcare information technology to support clinical decision-making, including advances in understanding wearable analytics for human performance assessment. Current projects involve clinical studies to obtain primary data-based for human performance modeling and simulation studies, and projects involving the use of conversational agent technology to improve the activities of daily living for polypharmacy patients in isolated living situations.

Abstract

This study reports on an initiative to engage biomedical engineering students with technical standards through a product liability in-class activity similar to a moot court. Working in teams, students are provided with an ambiguous case study that they have to investigate and engage in a debate as part of the prosecution or the defense team to convince the rest of the class whether standards compliance had a role in the product liability case or not. Of specific interest in this work are (a) the positioning of the case study in terms of how standards can be taught in an engaging way, (b) the specific cybersecurity case that has been explored, and (c ) the survey strategy for outcomes assessment. Our inaugural in-class exercise produced insights that could be of use to other engineering programs.
