Rachel C. Childers

Rachel C. Childers works in biomedical engineering, with a career that spans two areas: laboratory research on the mechanical properties of cardiac and heart valve tissue, and more recent work on biomedical engineering education, including hands-on and experiential teaching methods. Her recent publications focus on classroom innovations like escape rooms, gamification, and industry-connected internship programs designed to improve student learning and career preparation in biomedical engineering.

Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the last decade, rising slightly in 2020 before leveling off to about one to two papers per year in recent years.
