N2 - We have built a computational laboratory sequence within a junior-level quantitative physiology course within a biomedical engineering major. The course integrates mathematical, engineering, and biological perspectives into foundations of bioinstrumentation, models of physiology, and interfaces with physiological systems. We designed the computational labs to foster deeper and more facile understanding of core concepts as illustrated through dynamic system modeling. Here we assessed how students built this flexible facility, through assays of lab performance, practicum examination, and post-course survey. We conclude that the computational labs generated a framework for integrative and innovative understanding of course material.
