Classes

Our laboratory is involved in teaching the courses in the Biotransport, Biomechanics and Design domains. We are actively involved in the implementation of interactive learning approaches in biomedical engineering curriculum, including experimental and computer labs, journal clubs, and flipped classroom. For example, we have implemented the experimental lab section in "BMEN 3420/6420: Transport in Cells and Organs", where students are trained in the use of parallel-plate and microfluidic flow systems to study transport of living cells and nonliving particulates such as drug delivery systems. In "BMEN/COSC 6600: Computational Modeling of Biomedical Systems", we have developed computer labs, where students learn to use Matlab and other computational tools to analyze experimental data and numerically solve various biomedical problems. Many our lectures are "flipped" or in the form of journal clubs. Our flipped classroom approach is video lectures that students watch outside the classroom combined with classroom discussion of video lectures, involving active participation of students. We use journal clubs (informal classroom discussion of research papers) to teach a new material not readily available in textbooks.

Dr. Khismatullin, the PI of the laboratory, is a member of the Education Committee of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). He is involved in the organization of BMES workshops and other activities that promote the development and use of innovative teaching tools in biomedical engineering education. In 2014-2015, Dr. Khismatullin was a chair of the American Society for Engineering Education Gulf Southwest (ASEE-GSW) Section. He organized the 2014 ASEE-GSW Annual Conference in New Orleans on April 2-4, 2014. This conference was devoted to "Interactive Learning in Engineering Education".
