Proposal Number: 0231313Institution: William Marsh Rice UniversityPI: Ann SaterbakTitle: Development of Educational Materials that Strengthen Students' Problem-Solving Skills for a Bioengineering Fundamentals CourseOur team is developing educational materials that cover the conservation laws with applications in biological and medical systems. We believe these materials provide a new and unifying approach for teaching the introductory course in bioengineering departments across the country. The number of Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering Departments in the United States has increased substantially in the last decade to support the increased demand for diverse engineering graduates who are knowledgeable in life sciences and are skilled as engineers. Currently, no textbooks or materials on the fundamentals of engineering are targeted to students in an introductory bioengineering course. Our educational goals are being achieved through the completion of some of the first chapters which involve, Conservation Principles in Bioengineering, that includes the development of problem-based learning modules, as well as communication skills enhancement and web-based interactive simulation modules. Our assessment plan evaluates student knowledge acquisition, problem-solving skills development, and communication skills development. Prentice Hall, a commercial publisher, is distributing the completed textbook. A variety of supporting materials are being made available on the Internet, and dissemination includes journal publications and conference presentations. Professors at four universities are using our educational materials in their courses, assess student outcomes, and evaluate the effectiveness of our educational materials.

提案编号：0231313Institution：William Marsh Rice Universitypi：Ann Saterbaktitle：开发教育材料，增强学生为生物工程基础知识的学生解决问题的技能课程课程，正在开发教育材料，涵盖了在生物学和医疗系统中应用的保护法。我们认为，这些材料为全国生物工程部门的入门课程提供了一种新的统一方法。在过去的十年中，美国的生物工程和生物医学工程部门的数量大大增加，以支持对生命科学知识渊博并且熟练地作为工程师的多元化工程毕业生的需求增加。目前，在介绍性的生物工程课程中，没有针对学生的教科书或材料。通过完成一些涉及生物工程的保护原则，包括开发基于问题的学习模块以及沟通技巧增强和基于Web的交互式模拟模块，我们的教育目标是通过完成的一些第一批章节来实现的。我们的评估计划评估了学生知识的获取，解决问题的技能发展和沟通技巧的发展。商业出版商Prentice Hall正在分发完整的教科书。在互联网上提供了各种支持材料，传播包括期刊出版物和会议演示文稿。四所大学的教授正在他们的课程中使用我们的教育材料，评估学生的成绩并评估我们的教育材料的有效性。
