Meeting with the Biomedical Engineering Faculty

Implementing information literacy into the biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum at NJIT has always been a challenge. Until now I have just gotten my "15 minutes of fame" giving a short lecture in the Fundamentals of Engineering Design Course. This is given at the Freshman level when students are using mostly textbooks and would not need the technical journal literature in their field. This morning I had a meeting with a few of the faculty to try to determine where it could fit in. They felt students in BME 310 (biomedical computing) could get an assignment where they would need to find how a signal processing can be applied to a problem in biomedical engineering. They are having a full faculty meeting on Wednesday when they will discuss this.
