Engineering - Other (59)This project is building a set of interactive teaching modules for biomedical engineering courses dealing with commonly used medical imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and PET), biomedical signals (ECG, EMG, and EEG) and bio-optics (laser and OCT). Each module consists of six sub-modules that present a historical and background review, a description with graphical illustrations, interactive animations, up-loadable simulations, a medical applications library, and assessment tools. The evaluation effort, under the direction of a faculty member from the College of Education, is looking at student use of the material and their perceptions about it during engagement with the modules; at student learning using a quasi-experimental design with pre and post test, and at student transfer of learning beyond the classroom. The project includes collaboration with a community college allowing the material to be developed and evaluated with diverse student populations, class sizes, teaching environments, course settings, student training concentrations, and faculty expertise. Internal and external advisory committees are helping to guide the project. The material is being shared with others through presentations at engineering education and biomedical engineering conferences, though a website, and through a special forum on medical imaging, signal, and optics teaching and research. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the material, the community college collaboration, and an emphasis on Hispanic students.

该项目正在为生物医学工程课程建立一套互动式教学模块，涉及常用的医学成像模式（X射线、CT、MRI、超声和PET）、生物医学信号（ECG、EMG和EEG）和生物光学（激光和OCT）。 每个模块包括六个子模块，呈现历史和背景回顾，图形说明，交互式动画，向上模拟，医疗应用程序库和评估工具。 在教育学院一名教员的指导下，评估工作着眼于学生在参与模块期间对材料的使用及其看法;学生学习使用准实验设计，进行前后测试，以及学生在课堂之外的学习转移。 该项目包括与社区学院的合作，允许开发和评估不同的学生群体，班级规模，教学环境，课程设置，学生培训浓度和教师专业知识的材料。 内部和外部咨询委员会正在帮助指导该项目。 这些材料通过在工程教育和生物医学工程会议上的演讲，通过一个网站，以及通过一个关于医学成像，信号和光学教学和研究的特别论坛与其他人分享。 更广泛的影响包括材料的传播，社区大学的合作，以及对西班牙裔学生的重视。
