The
main goal of this project is to identify a corpus of terms to represent
engineering concepts that are meaningful to both engineering and medical
faculty.
This poster encapsulates an iterative and subjective process for aligning
terms across disciplines. Engineering faculty generated 130 terms to
represent engineering competencies for medical curriculum integration. There
was, however, no attempt to impose any hierarchical structure for the list.
Terms like “medical instruments” and “medical diagnosis” are too broad to be
useful, while “duality principle” and “transcranial magnetic stimulation” are
quite specific.
