How to Make a Super Hero (BioMed Tech: Engineering for Your Health)

Posted Wednesday, October 21, 2009

10:00 to 11:00 a.m.

Movies make the super heroes of your imagination; science, engineering, and your imagination make the super heroes real.  Dr. Tyler will discuss his work (FES) in biomedical engineering that stimulates muscles in paralyzed patients allowing them to regain functions.

Recommended for learners in Grades 7-12, the BioMed Tech Distance Learning Series is designed to stimulate interest in biomedical technology and engineering careers and foster an appreciation and understanding of regionally developed medical advances.  Aligned with the Ohio Department of Education Science, Mathematics, and Technology Content Standards and the National Science Education Standards, each program will emphasize biomedical technology and engineering careers, scientific processes, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) content.
