The curriculum resource modules are intended for teachers interested in integrated STEM teaching and learning approaches that engage students in collaborative learning to solve authentic, real world problems.
In this module, students consider the relevance of STEM learning and the role it plays in healthcare. They learn that biomedical engineers and doctors work together to continually improve and creatively invent revolutionary devices that enable people with disabilities to complete daily life tasks efficiently and effectively.
A STEM learning module should encourage learning that is student-led and teacher-facilitated, and have an open-ended problem-solving approach. Problem solving involves an intellectual struggle that provides opportunities for higher-order thinking, reasoning and creativity.
