BIOL 44215 - Multidisciplinary Design Of Systems And Devices For Physiology Measurements
Credit Hours: 2.00. This physiology laboratory course will provide an opportunity for undergraduates from the College of Science (Department of Biology) to collaborate with students in other colleges (Agriculture, Education, Engineering, Health and Human Science & Technology) to experience and learn how to operate effectively as part of an interdisciplinary team to address physiological problems in the cardiovascular system, respiratory system and in biological transport. Specifically it will emphasize how these teams can use information, tools, techniques and theories from their disciplines to solve problems that are beyond the scope of any single discipline. In this process, the students will develop an appreciation of both engineering design and the classic hypothesis-driven experimental science as tools to solve complex real-world problems. This course will promote effective communication, systems thinking, laboratory skills, self-management and professional ethics. Students will learn to measure and quantify biological changes, analyze data (including statistical analysis) and interpret its meaning as it applied to the larger physiological question at hand. These skills will be necessary for teams to efficiently function in an interdisciplinary setting both in future courses and more importantly when they enter the workforce. Typically offered Fall.
