Bay Area Regional Center California State University, East Bay
Biomedical Sciences Oscar Wambuguh (Affiliate Director)
Debapriya Sengupta (Affiliate Assistant)
• Prepare students for high demand, high pay careers.
• Prepare students for rigorous post-secondary education and training.
• Address impending critical shortage of qualified science and health professionals.
Biomedical Sciences Program
Goals:
Biomedical Careers – some examples
• Physician• Nurse• Dentist• Veterinarian• Pharmacist• Physical Therapist• Dietician• Surgeon• Optometrist
• Research Scientist • Health Information Manager• Medical Technologist• Radiology Technician• Medical Technical Writer• Physician Assistant• Biomedical Engineer• Sonographer• Occupational Therapist• Health Inspector
High School Program Biomedical ScienceFour Course sequence
• Principles of the Biomedical Sciences
• Human Body Systems
• Medical Interventions
• Biomedical Innovation/Capstone Course
Course #1:Principles of the Biomedical Sciences (PBS) The study of human medicine, research processes
& an introduction to bioinformatics. Investigation of the human body systems and
various health conditions including: heart disease, diabetes, sickle-cell disease, hyper-cholesterolemia, and infectious diseases.
PBS Topics:
Literary research skillsHuman body systemsBasic chemistryStructure and function of DNABioinformaticsProtein structureCauses of infectious diseasesGrant proposals
PBS Activity
Example from Unit 4 in the PBS curriculum: Students learn about chromosomes and DNA by making a chromosome spread so they can observe chromosomes in a cell
Example from Unit 4 in the PBS curriculum: students use a computer simulation to view how protein shape is affected by its environment and by its component parts
PBS Activity
Course #2: Human Body Systems (HBS) Study of basic human physiology, especially in relationship
to human health. Central theme: how the body systems work together to maintain
internal balance & good health.
Students use data acquisition software to monitor body functions & use the Anatomy with Clay® Manikens™ to study body structure.
Relationship between structure and functionMaintenance of healthDefense against diseaseCommunication within the body and with the
outside worldMovement of the body and of substances
around the bodyEnergy distribution and processing
HBS Topics:
HBS Activity
Example from HBS curriculum:
This is the Maniken from Anatomy in Clay used throughout the Human Body Systems course for students to build body systems and parts using clay
Example from Unit 1 in the HBS curriculum:
Students take measurements of bones to determine if a bone is from a man or a woman and to determine that person’s ethnicity.
HBS Activity
Course #3: Medical Interventions (MI) Investigation of various medical interventions that extend and
improve the quality of life including: diagnostics, surgery, bio-nanotechnology, pharmacology, prosthetics, rehabilitation, & life style choices.
Medical Interventions
Students investigate the variety of interventions involved in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease as they follow the lives of a fictitious family.
MI Activity
Example from Unit 4. Students build and use a mock laparoscopic surgery trainer box.
Molecular biology & genetic engineeringDesign process for pharmaceuticals and
medical devicesMedical imaging, including x-rays, CT
scans, & MRI scansDisease detection & preventionRehabilitation after disease or injuryMedical interventions of the future
MI Topics:
Course #4: Biomedical Innovation
Capstone Course: students will apply their knowledge and skills to solve problems related to the biomedical sciences
They may work with a mentor or advisor from a university, hospital, physician’s office, or industry as they complete their research and problem-solution process.
Students will present their findings and results in a symposium style format to an audience which may include representatives from the local healthcare or business community or the school’s PLTW® partnership team
Biomedical Innovation
Course Benefits:Progressively challenging problemsFlexible designApply knowledge and skills learned in all
previous coursesMultiple presentationsDesign innovative solutions for the health
challenges of the 21st century Opportunity to work with mentor(s)
BI TopicsDesign of Effective Emergency RoomExploring Human PhysiologyDesign of a Medical InnovationInvestigating Water ContaminationCombating a Public Health IssueMolecular Biology in Action (Optional)Forensic Autopsy (Optional)Independent Project (Optional)
