Use of Biomedical Engineering and Music for K-12 Math/Science
Education The study proposes the use of Biomedical Engineering
(BME) Ph.D. track graduate students to assist middle and high
school teachers to teach math/science skills, by providing
additional tools and training to optimize their use. The
emphasis is on the use of disciplinary knowledge to enhance how
people learn with the aid of computer technology; showing the
students the importance of this knowledge to solve real world
problems. Three school districts have committed to participate
in a cross-disciplinary education program (Shelby County, Shades
Mountain Independent, and the Alabama School of Fine Arts).
Students from UAB’s Biomedical Engineering (BME) and the Alabama
School of Fine Arts (ASFA) departments will develop, implement,
and evaluate the four interventions used to enhance math/science
skills. - Music education - Math/Science kits and six-week
projects - Science Fair project development - A technology of
Fine Arts class When the cost-
