Biomedical Engineering Innovation (BMEI) is an online course for high school students who have an interest in learning more about engineering. Biomedical Engineering Innovation is designed to give students an opportunity to learn more about biomedical engineering, allowing them to make informed college and career decisions. BMEI introduces biomedical engineering to high school students by (1) modeling biological systems and designing experiments to test those models and (2) introducing engineering principles to solve design problems that are biological, physiological, and/or medical. Students will model human efficiency and the cardiovascular system, design a biomedical sensor using Arduino, and complete an independent research project.
