Implementing a challenge-based learning experience in a bioinstrumentation blended course.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioinstrumentation is essential to biomedical engineering (BME) undergraduate education and professional practice. Several strategies have been suggested to provide BME students with hands-on experiences throughout the curriculum, promoting their preparedness to pursue careers in industry and academia while increasing their learning and engagement.
