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：0231313机构：威廉马什赖斯大学PI：安Saterbak标题：教育材料的发展，加强学生的解决问题的能力，为生物工程基础课程我们的团队正在开发的教育材料，涵盖了在生物和医疗系统的应用程序的保护法。我们相信，这些材料提供了一个新的和统一的方法，在全国各地的生物工程部门的入门课程教学。过去十年，美国生物工程和生物医学工程系的数量大幅增加，以满足对具有生命科学知识和工程师技能的多元化工程毕业生不断增长的需求。目前，没有任何关于工程基础的教科书或材料是针对生物工程入门课程的学生的。我们的教育目标正在通过完成一些第一章，其中涉及，生物工程保护原则，其中包括基于问题的学习模块的开发，以及沟通技巧的提高和基于网络的交互式模拟模块。我们的评估计划评估学生的知识获取，解决问题的技能发展和沟通技能的发展。商业出版商普伦蒂斯霍尔正在分发完成的教科书。目前正在因特网上提供各种辅助材料，传播方式包括期刊出版物和会议介绍。四所大学的教授正在他们的课程中使用我们的教材，评估学生的成绩，并评估我们教材的有效性。
