Abstract

High quality images, movies, and sound are available through the World Wide Web (WWW). These can be used to supplement lectures and homework problems and as the basis for student projects. Students in a biomedical engineering applications course worked in teams to produce multimedia documents describing body systems (cardiovascular, muscular, and skeletal) and pre- and post-computer engineering solutions to health care problems (artificial limbs and cochlear implants). The students were required to write their documents in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and to link to relevant material on the WWW. These projects are now available for use by other students throughout the world at the following address (URL): http:/www2.bae.ncsu.edu/bae/courses/bae456/projects.html
