Abstract :
Vanderbilt University, Northwestern University, the University of Texas and the Harvard/MIT Health Sciences and Technology Program have developed a multi-institution plan to develop educational technologies in bioengineering. This project aims at developing the educational resources to prepare for the future of bioengineering. While the scientific and engineering literature of BE is vast, tested teaching materials are scarce. A cogent body of BE knowledge and proven methods for helping student acquire that knowledge in many contexts and with diverse characteristics is the foundation on which the desired future can be built
