摘要：This work presents a description and assessment of the first introductory course in biomedical engineering, the result of a two-year exchange between clinicians and researchers in the Faculties of Medicine and Engineering and Applied Science. The course is an integration of research into teaching, as well as the first step in incorporating engineering into Medicine. Through lectures, clinical shadowing, tours, critical reflection and a final project, students interested in healthcare experienced a unique, multidisciplinary learning environment in a seminar-style setting. The work will present student assignments, student feedback and student application of the key concepts in the course. An assessment of the defined learning outcomes for the course is also addressed. In presenting this work, the authors would also like to promote knowledge sharing of how engineering and medicine are integrated at other universities in the area of Biomedical Engineering, specifically as a major, a sub-discipline, or a multidisciplinary undergraduate degree.
