Enhancement of the Bioengineering Program at UIUC: Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development

这个由教育学院和工程学院合作的项目开发了一些模型和实例，这些模型和实例结合了新的科学和工程材料，用于培养未来的K-12科学教师。所开发的材料是从生物工程领域的最新研究中提取的，该领域关注的主题包括：康复工程、生物声学、生物材料、计算神经科学、生物仪器和医学成像。所开发的材料用于教育学院的科学教学课程，也被整合到工程学院的生物工程入门课程中。这些材料也被考虑改编成适合K-12课程学生直接使用的形式。

This project between the College of Education and the College of Engineering develops models and examples that incorporate new science and engineering materials for use in preparation of future teachers of K-12 science. The materials which are developed are drawn from recent research in the area of Bioengineering which focuses on such topics as : rehabilitation engineering , bioacoustics, biomaterials computational neurosciences, bioinstrumentation and medical imaging. The materials which are developed are used in courses in science teaching in the College of Education and are also integrated into the introductory Bioengineering course in the College of Engineering. The materials are also considered for adaptation to a form appropriate for direct use by students in the K-12 curriculum.
