What is the first step of the engineering design process?
Ask!
What does BME stand for?
Biomedical engineering
What do lungs help us do?
Breathe
What is an organ?
An organ is a specific part of your body that performs a specific function
What is an example of an artificial organ that we discussed?
Pacemaker!
True or false: The engineering design process is a cycle.
True
Who can be an engineer?
Everyone!
True or false: This is what the heart in your body is shaped like
False! A human heart is shaped like this:
True or false. When you learn, the structure of your brain changes!
True! You brain is made of these things called neurons that make new connections every time you learn something new!
True or false: Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out nitrogen
False! We do breathe in oxygen but we breathe out carbon dioxide!
One of the steps of the engineering design process is test. What do we do during that step?
You check to see if your design solves the problem!
What is science?
Learning how the world around us works?
What is an artificial organ?
Any machine or device used to replace an organ that is not doing its job!
What is a prosthetic?
Man made body part!
If your organs stop working, what can you replace them with? Hint: This is something that biomedical engineers have worked really hard on.
Artificial organs
How many steps are there in the engineering design process?
8!
What three things does biomedical engineering combine? Hint: One of them is biology!
BME combines engineering, medicine and biology!
Does exercise help make your heart stronger, your brain stronger or your lungs stronger? You can choose more than one answer
All of the above!
What is the largest organ that humans have?
Our skin!
What are the names of your instructors?
Instructors, are they right ?
What step comes after planning but before testing?
Creating!
What is engineering?
Using what we have learned from science to design things and ways to make the world a better place!
