2.0

credits

Average Course Rating

(4.14)

Working in teams with upperclassmen this course (1) introduces biomedical engineering freshmen to an orderly method for analyzing and modeling biological systems, (2) introduces engineering principles to solve design problems that are biological, physiological, and/or medical, and (3) considers the ethical and professional responsibility in developing biomedical engineering solutions to health care challenges. Freshmen are expected to use the informational content being taught in calculus, physics and chemistry and to apply this knowledge to the solution of practical problems encountered in biomedical engineering. BME Freshmen only.

Professor: Eileen Haase

(3.76)

The course is a good introduction to Biomedical Engineering and is not too difficult. Students enjoyed designing hands-on projects and working in teams. They said that some of the TAs were not very helpful and the requirements for lab reports were not always clear. Some students suggested more structure and guidance to improve the course. Since it is based on small group projects, the quality of the class depends heavily on your group and your TA. Students should know that the class requires some physics knowledge and is quite time-consuming.

Students liked the project-based learning and felt that the group projects al owed them to get to know and work with other BME students. However, many students disliked the workload, feeling that it was too high and required too much work outside of class. Students also found that some projects had unclear instructions which made completing projects unnecessarily hard. Suggestions for improvement included making the lectures more interesting and engaging, and either be reducing the workload or increasing the course’s credit value. Prospective students should know that the course was primarily group based and that some knowledge of biology and physiology was useful.

Students were enthusiastic about the hands-on experience and opportunity for collaboration in groups that this course provided. They also believed that the course provided a useful introduction to the field 35of biomedical engineering. Students thought the course’s biggest drawback was that that the workload for the course was too large for a class that was only two credits. They felt that the course could be improved with greater guidance from the instructors on how to approach assigned projects. Students thought that it was important for people considering taking this class that the course required a significant amount of time outside the classroom and that some background knowledge of physics could be helpful.
