The Engineering Lab Experience

Laboratory exercises can play an important role in deepening students’ understanding of engineering concepts and bringing them to life. The transition to BU’s Learn from Anywhere modality required faculty to wholly redesign the laboratory environment, from a resource whose equipment and access we maintain and control, to an experience the students will oversee. Master Lecturer Caleb Farny shares the approach the Department of Mechanical Engineering has taken to make this transition.

Professor Farny’s chief research interests center on physical acoustics, with a focus on medical applications of ultrasound. His past research has examined effects of bubble cavitation on ultrasound-induced heating in tissue, and diagnostic methods for detecting the presence and location of cavitation during sonication. Most recently he has focused on developing novel methods for imaging brain structure through the skull with ultrasound.
