Biomedical Sensing, Measurement, and Instrumentation with hands-on activities to promote healthcare related careers

项目摘要/摘要 提议的是一种创新产品，使用最新的生物医学传感器为 学生们。它将帮助教师增加学生接触健康科学的机会，并促进 医疗保健相关职业。重要意义：由于担心美国将没有劳动力 需要满足行业对与科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)相关的需求 在职业方面，STEM教育受到了极大的关注。在美国各地，越来越多的人实施了 STEM计划通过添加机器人、制造商空间、3D打印机和 虚拟现实进入教室和课外项目。然而，增长最快的大多数 职业是与健康相关的领域，因此，STEM方案也必须提供有吸引力的和 向学生介绍健康职业机会的途径多种多样。假设：我们假设一个 让学生参与以健康科学为基础的活动的产品将增加学生对 医疗保健相关职业。具体目标：为了在第一阶段证明拟议系统的可行性，IDL将 1)开发课程和利益相关者要求；2)创建原型系统和软件；以及3) 通过与最终用户进行试点研究来评估该系统。

Project Summary/Abstract Proposed is an innovative product using the latest biomedical sensors to create hands-on activities for students. It will help teachers increase their students’ exposure of students to health sciences and promote healthcare related careers. Significance: Due to concerns that the United States will not have the workforce needed to meet industry demands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related careers, significant focus has been placed on STEM education. Across the US, the growing implementation of STEM programs has quite visibility taken form through the addition of robotics, maker spaces, 3D printers, and virtual reality into classrooms and after school programs. However, the majority of the fastest growing occupations are in health-related fields, and, thus, it is vital for STEM programs to also provide engaging and diverse pathways to introduce students to health career opportunities. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that a product which engages students in activities rooted in health science will increase interest and the pursuit of healthcare related careers. Specific Aims: To prove the feasibility of the proposed system in Phase 1, IDL will 1) Develop curriculum and stakeholder requirements; 2) Create a prototype system & software; and 3) Evaluate the system with a pilot study with end-users.
