Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that bridges several engineering and science disciplines. Our team works to develop innovative course materials for biomedical engineering curricula that train students for work in industry and academia.
We have developed, and continue to innovate, an entry-level laboratory course that provides students skills to work in the biotech industry.
We have also developed an introductory-level engineering course at the University of Michigan that highlights wellness activities in the classroom.
This has included creating new labs, including interactive, remote access options for hands-on labs. Incorporating active learning in large classes, and industry-inspired technical reports.
