ABSTRACT

Objective: To preliminarily explore the teaching content reformation of medical ultrasound course of undergraduates of biomedical engineering(BME)based on the perspective of clinical engineering(CE)so as to enhance competitive capability of graduate of BME in applying jobs.Methods: Self-designed questionnaire was adopted to investigate graduation plan,knowledge degree of medical ultrasound equipment and learning interests of senior undergraduates of BME.Results: The survey results showed that 22.85％(7 in 31 valid questionnaire)students hope to find a job in a hospital after they graduated.Before course starts,77.42％(24 in 31 valid questionnaire)respondents said they know nothing about the quality control(QC)of ultrasound diagnostic equipments,which is one of the most important tasks in CE.Comparing with other technical knowledge about medical ultrasound,the knowledge degree of QC is the lowest level.Meanwhile,in the rank of learning interest,students have very high learning interesting at relative QC and management.Conclusion: According to students' employment intension and learning interesting,the relative teaching contents of CE can meet the demand of position of BME students,and it is benefit to improve the job competitiveness of the graduates.Therefore,it is necessary to reform teaching content of medical ultrasound course of BME according to the point of CE.
