How Do Engineering Scientists Think? Model-Based Simulation in Biomedical Engineering Research Laboratories
Designing, building, and experimenting with physical simulation models are central problem-solving practices in the engineering sciences. Model-based simulation is an epistemic activity that includes exploration, generation and testing of hypotheses, explanation, and inference. This paper argues that to interpret and understand how these simulation models function in creating knowledge and tech...
متن کاملUbiquitous Computing in Science and Engineering Research Laboratories: A case study from biomedical engineering
This paper addresses the ubiquitous nature of computing in contemporary science and engineering research laboratories. We describe three kinds of ubiquitous computing possibilities for bioscience and engineering: historically evolved ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous computing by design, and in silico biology. Using a combination of ethnography and cognitive-historical analysis, our observations...
متن کاملHow clinician-scientists think.
Science is a human activity and like all human activities, it has its share of drama and pathos. The scientific product is often an interaction of certain ways of thinking, personality traits, and circumstances. This essay examines these factors and how the melding of that could lead to breakthrough discoveries. It may in some instances, go wrong, or take a morally ambiguous path.
متن کاملBiomedical Engineering in Epidural Anaesthesia Research
The application of engineering techniques into biomedical procedures has proved extremely beneficial in many areas of medicine. A developing area is in epidural analgesia and anaesthesia, a technique employed for the relief of pain in both acute and chronic, and for anaesthesia to enable pain-free surgery. The aim of this chapter is to demonstrate several specific areas of research and how biom...
