Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Body Temperature Lab Learning Objectives: Students will learn to design a thermal shirt to monitor body temperature and to ascertain and develop to a market a unique solution with benefits over state-of-the-art technologies. Students will identify those technologies and highlight their improvements in the design. Accuracy of the thermo shirt will be assessed by calculating accuracy and reproducibility of the new thermal shirt and comparing these values to a gold standard, such as an oral or tympanic thermometer. DNA Lab Learning Objectives: Students should leave this unit equipped with a theoretical understanding of how to detect DNA biomarkers and the relevance of this technology to human healthcare. Emphasis will be on good lab/experimental controls and the collection of statistically valid measurements. Students will also understand how commonly used lab devices function, and explore the recent efforts to simplify experiments and to lower costs. At the end of the section, students will explore creative new biosensor designs based on PCR and fluorescent imaging.
