The stepwise approach of elementary and practical ME education.The problem of needs and seeds

Abstract

[Introduction] We have studied ME research from a practical aspect. We want to shorten the distance between hospitals and universities, companies.[Purpose] We are trying practical and primary education for medical staffs and high school students, we consider that the problems of the needs and the seed for establishing the department of ME from this practice. So we want to discuss to establish ME department with our approaches. [Results] From the practical study of electrocardiogram and ultrasound for the medical stuffs and engineering, mainly in Osaka University School of Medicine and Osaka Electro-Communication University, the students are satisfied. In addition, our experiences of lectures on graduate school of engineering at Nagoya University and Tokyo Institute of Technology, the students' interests are quite large. [Conclusion] By our practice, there are large number of needs in engineering students. But, it is necessary to show the route and goal and an evaluation system.
