STUDENT PROJECTS ON
     ENGINEERING BIOMECHANICS OF HUMAN BODY SYSTEMS:
                    
Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials and Statics

In each section of each course, groups consisted of 2 to 5 students voluntarily.   Each group was allowed to select a topic from a given list. 
Then each group was required to submit first draft of the project on the 10th day of class, second draft on 20th class day, third draft on 30th class day and a final draft on the last day of class.  Each draft was corrected as per project guidelines and was graded.

Final project grade was the average of grades of second, third and final drafts.  Whenever applicable, each group was required to prepare a power point presentation for the topic selected.  Each course consisted of four partial examinations and a final examination, with 20% for each test.  The project grade was considered as one or two of the partial examinations depending on the nature of the course.

 


CAUTION:  Students may have not properly cited the references in each report.  I, Megh R Goyal, was
                         the instructor and program coordinator in these courses.  I have edited these review reports. 

                         Instructor is not responsible for the information provided by the students. 

                         These reports do not endorse or preference over the commercial names

                         that are mentioned in these reports.

MISION GOALS OF THIS TEACHING METHODOLOGY:

·         Exposure to State – of  - Art in Engineering Biomechanics: For Non Biomedical Engineering students

·         Learn Technical Writing Skills at early college level.

·        Preparation and Presentation of a Technical Article.  

·        Learn leadership and cooperative learning qualities.
