A rehabilitation engineering course for biomedical engineers

A rehabilitation engineering course for biomedical engineers

This paper describes an upper division elective course in rehabilitation engineering that addresses prosthetics and orthotics, wheelchair design, seating and positioning, and automobile modifications for individuals with disabilities. Faculty lectures are enhanced by guest lectures and class field trips. Guest lecturers include a prosthetist and a lower extremity amputee client, an engineer/pro...

Graphic Course Design for Engineers

This paper tries to bridge the gap between engineering and education by introducing a new way of how to use existing and well known design techniques of engineering in order to structure teaching. It may be called the engineering approach to educational modeling. Planning a new course or restructuring an existing one can be understood as a system design task. Where the system is the course with...

A Road Map for Civil Engineers towards Bridge Engineering Through Academic Education and Professional Training

It is common in many countries that engineers having an academic degree in Civil Engineering are appointed responsible for different tasks related to Bridge Engineering. However, there are serious questions about whether formal university courses in civil engineering could cover the needs of a bridge engineer to fulfill his or her job successfully. Regarding the recent significant advances in t...

Developing a recommender system for assigning projects to supervising engineers (Case study: Damghan construction engineering organization)

Supervising engineers are one of the most important actors in construction industry and have an important role in improving quality and increasing safety. However, assigning projects to these engineers in some cases are unjust and inefficient. Therefore, in this paper a recommender system is developed in which the competencies of engineers along with the features of the projects are considered....
