Challenge Based Learning In Biomedical Engineering: A Legacy Cycle For Biotechnology

The benefits of a challenge-based environment are recognized by experts in learning science but are infrequently translated to practice in engineering courses. Although individual instructor styles occasionally offer challenge-based instruction, rare is the engineering course in which challenge-based learning is a consistent focus. Few systematic methods for the creation of challenge-based learning materials exist, presenting an obstacle to adoption of this powerful educational technique.
