This project trains undergraduates in noninvasive techniques to study biological principles and physiological functions of mammalian animals. They also receive exposure to new technologies that are developing exponentially, Ultrasound and computer equipment, for example, are used to monitor lean tissue and adipose accumulation, identify soft tissue injuries, and monitor reproductive functions. Ultrasound instruction and computer applications are also being implemented in laboratory sections of core classes. Overall, Instruction supplements concepts introduced in lecture, and students become familiar with use of equipment and interpretation of ultrasound images and scientific data. The noninvasive capability of the equipment also provides a unique ability to study basic biological properties which are applicable to all mammals.

这个项目训练本科生学习非侵入性技术，研究哺乳动物的生物学原理和生理功能。他们还接触到指数级发展的新技术，例如，超声波和计算机设备被用来监测瘦组织和脂肪积累，识别软组织损伤，并监测生殖功能。超声波教学和计算机应用也在核心课程的实验室部分实施。总体而言，教学是对课程中介绍的概念的补充，学生熟悉设备的使用以及超声图像和科学数据的解释。该设备的非侵入性能力还提供了一种独特的能力，可以研究适用于所有哺乳动物的基本生物学特性。
