Conversion of an MSc Module in Physiological Measurements to EBL

This project will convert the conventionally taught 12 week 'Physiological Measurement's module into a Problem-Based Learning module. This module combines engineering knowledge and medical knowledge pertaining to vital sign monitoring; the latter part is similar to Nursing curriculum while the first part is akin to Electronic Engineering modules. It is intended that the final converted module will be of a multidisciplinary nature which could be effectively utilised by both Engineering and Nursing students as well as the MSc students targeted in this particular module. It is the intention to map the learning objectives (the existing curriculum) to an MCQ evaluation test and hence satisfy the requirement of curriculum coverage while at the same time ensuring that the learning process remains open ended.
