A. Teaching Experience

BE 497:Biomedical Senior Design (Fall, Instructor)
This course is designed to be an introduction to broad foundations related to home health care. It will provide the students with tools needed to assess users needs, to enable appropriate solutions at the device and systems level. An overview of the current state of home care technologies will be provided, followed by three modules: (1) Home health care: Clinical perspective, (2) Policy, issues, & standards governing home care & home care devices, and (3) Engineering in home health care: Survey topics.

BE 513:Bioinstrumentation (Fall, Instructor)

This course was designed to provide the students with tools for product evaluation of home care technologies. Students were exposed to various biosensor and non-invasive technologies, objective human performance evaluation tools, usability and user-interface evaluation, etc. Evaluation techniques included disassembly of devices, technical engineering evaluation, user-testing/usability evaluation, safety and risk management, and economic considerations.
Freshman Design (Spring, Co-Instructor)
The course was designed to expose incoming freshmen to engineering concepts and design. Students are divided into project teams and are assigned design projects related to one of several engineering fields (i.e. biomedical, civil, electrical, or mechanical).
Introduction to Computer Programming (Spring, 1995; Teaching Asst)
This course was an introductory/freshman level programming course teaching programming techniques in Fortran and C. Responsibilities included leading discussion groups, grading, designing quizzes, and holding office hours.
