CASEE Research Affiliate: Vanderbilt-Northwestern-Texas-Harvard/MIT (VaNTH) Engineering Research Center for Bioengineering Educational Technologies
Research Foci:
- Defining the bioengineer as an adaptive expert
- Intersection of learning science, learning technologies, and the domains of bioengineering
- Determination of range of knowledge encompassed by bioengineering
- Structure of knowledge in major bioengineering domains
- Principles of modular design for teaching materials
- Development of assessment methods to determine the effectiveness of new learning materials
- Development of novel technologies that enable efficiencies and increase the effectiveness of bioengineering education.
VaNTH seeks to synthesize advanced learning science and bioengineering. Our principle question addresses the ways and means by which learners can become adaptive experts in bioengineering.
