). New courses such as “Robotics,” “Nanotechnology,” “The Futureof Science and Technology” (including an ethics component), and a variety of courses insustainable technology and ecology have all opened up new ways of thinking aboutdesign and its applications. But the course that best exemplifies all of our educationalaims in the new science curriculum is “Nature’s Design,” the focus of this paper.Using biology as a method to teach design, engineering and/or architecture is anincreasing trend. In 2005, a paper2 written by Dennis Dollens, architect and educator atthe Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, looked at examples of incorporatingbiomimetic concepts and theory into the teaching of architecture and industrial design. Itshould be noted
