Classroom Journal Club: Collaborative Study of Contemporary Primary Literature in the Biomechanics Classroom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current engineering pedagogy primarily focuses on developing technical proficiency and problem solving skills; the peerreview process for sharing new research results is often overlooked. The use of a collaborative classroom ...
Bad to the Bone: Multifaceted Enrichment of Open-Ended Biomechanics Class Projects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Equipping engineering students for career success requires more than technical proficiency; mindset and contextual interpretation also matter. Entrepreneurial mindset learning (EML) is one framework that faculty can use ...
Bridging the Gap: Science and Technology Policy in the (Bio)Engineering Classroom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineers and scientists have a key role to play in the creation and implementation of government policy. Policymakers need access to the technical expertise that is critical to our national progress and security; however, ...
Catalyzing Clinically Driven Undergraduate Design Projects at the Nexus of Engineering, Medicine, and Business
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design projects, particularly those related to assistive technology, offer unparalleled educational opportunities for undergraduate students to synthesize engineering knowledge with a clinically driven need to produce a ...
An Adjustable Length Intramedullary Nail: Development and Mechanical Evaluation in Cervine Tibiae
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intramedullary nails are the gold standard of fracture fixation, yet problems can still arise due to their manufacture in discrete lengths. Patient outcomes are less favorable when implanted with an improper length nail, ...
Cervine Tibia Morphology and Mechanical Strength: A Suitable Tibia Model?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Animal models for orthopaedic implant testing are wellestablished but morphologically dissimilar to human tibiae; notably, most are shorter. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the morphology and ...
Creating Physiologically Realistic Vertebral Fractures in a Cervine Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Approximately 50% of women and 25% of men will have an osteoporosisrelated fracture after the age of 50, yet the micromechanical origin of these fractures remains unclear. Preventing these fractures requires an understanding ...
A Proximally-Adjustable Variable Length Intramedullary Nail: Ex Vivo Quasi-Static and Cyclic Loading Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An adjustable-length intramedullary (IM) nail may reduce both complications secondary to fracture fixation and manufacturing costs. We hypothesized that our novel nail would have suitable mechanical performance. To test ...
