Outreach Program
VIBES: For the
Classroom VUSE is also proud to be home of the Vanderbilt Instruction in Biomedical Engineering for Secondary Sciences (VIBES) program [see www.vanth.org/vibes], which seeks to develop curricula for teaching basic bioengineering principles in standard secondary science classrooms, ultimately motivating students’ interest and achievement in science. The curriculum is challenge-based, interdisciplinary, and anchored in biomedical engineering. The National Science Foundation-funded VaNTH Engineering Research Center for Bioengineering Educational Technologies at Vanderbilt has funded VIBES for the past eight years. VIBES is recognized by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) as an exemplary high-school science program in meeting
the National Science Education Standards. The VIBES program is
featured as a chapter in the book Exemplary Science in Grades
9–12: Standards Based Success Stories (NSTA, 2005), having
been recognized among the 15 best science curricula in the
country. |
