“…An early attempt was a special issue of the IEEE Transactions in Biomedical Engineering in 1975 in which a number of topics were discussed. These included general discussions of the founding of BME, the then current situation and prospects for the field (6)(7)(8), engineering in health care (9,10), educational approaches (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), and a discussion of the role of the biomedical engineer in the healthcare device industry (18). Many of these authors focused on the potential of biomedical engineering in hospital-based health care.…”

Education in biomedical engineering offers a number of challenges to all constituents of the educational process-faculty, students, and employers of graduates. Although biomedical engineering educational systems have been under development for 40 years, interest in and the pace of development of these programs has accelerated in recent years. New advances in the learning sciences have provided a framework for the reexamination of instructional paradigms in biomedical engineering. This work shows that learning environments should be learner centered, knowledge centered, assessment centered, and community centered. In addition, learning technologies offer the potential to achieve this environment with efficiency. Biomedical engineering educators are in a position to design and implement new learning systems that can take advantage of advances in learning science, learning technology, and reform in engineering education.

“…An early study pertaining to the academic growth of biomedical engineering as a new career was conducted by Schwartz and Long (1975). This study was based on a 1974 survey around biomedical engineering education, and was jointly conducted by the American Society for Engineering Education and the Engineering in Medicine and Biology group of the IEEE.…”

“…This survey utilized a questionnaire that was administered at 222 engineering schools, and whose major findings as reported by the authors are presented in Table 1. Potvin et al (1981) conducted a quantitative study about biomedical engineering education comparable with that reported by Schwartz and Long (1975). However, this study utilized an in-depth survey questionnaire that was modified from the one used in 1974, and was distributed to 251 engineering schools in the United States.…”
