Our first year biomedical engineering course exposes students to multiple engineering and design techniques within an overarching theme of understanding health inequity. Currently, the semester-long curriculum excludes computational methods such as Python programming and Machine Learning, which are usually not introduced until more advanced BME…

As science teachers continue preparing for implementation of the "Next Generation Science Standards," one recommendation is to use computer programming as a promising context to efficiently integrate science and engineering. In this article, a interdisciplinary team of educational researchers and computer scientists describe how to use…

In this paper we report on the development of a stochastic modeling course for chemical engineers in the fourth year of the Cambridge Chemical Engineering Syllabus. The general course structure is presented and an interactive Web module, which is used in the course, is presented in more detail. The central aim of the Web module is to enable…
