Abstract

Biomedical electronics is a compulsory course for biomedical engineering undergraduates which contains theory courses and experiment courses. It uses knowledge of electronics to solve life science problems. To improve the effectiveness of learning, CDIO Education Countermeasures is introduced in Biomedical Electronics Curriculum reform. The theory course content divided into chapters in modules of medical devices. After the theoretical lessons, based on what they have learned, each of the students writes a research report about any kind of wearable devices of physiological signal detection. Combining with theoretical knowledge and reports, student’s concept design a wearable device and implement its hardware and software in groups during experiment courses. The experimental results show that CDIO makes students become the host of learning. The combination of the knowledge target, skill target and attitude target effectively improves students' knowledge, ability and quality. Learning situation questionnaire results show that 81% of students think that writing research report is helpful to learn this course.
