Interdisciplinary System Design BI2SM17

Engineers and Zoologists learning together

This innovative module paired biomedical engineering students learning System design, with Zoologists studying animal behaviour. The engineers designed and developed and provided support for the experimental equipment the zoologists required for their fieldwork on campus.

This was my first time teaching in Higher Education. In preparation for the lab sessions, I developed an example code/hardware solution as a safety net for the engineers to ensure the zoologists were not blocked from completing their projects. In the lab sessions, my focus was on supporting the engineering students with development of their hardware and software solutions, but I also supported the engineering students to develop their client communication skills.
