Abstract :
Lecture topics can play an important role in the senior capstone design course. They allow instructors to present information needed by students to properly execute their projects and/or prepare them for their careers and can be used to supplement reading assignments or introduce new material not presented elsewhere in the course or biomedical engineering curriculum. To ensure that students are presented with the most accurate, up-to-date information, faculty or working engineers with expertise in specific knowledge areas can be asked to be guest speakers.
