course titled “Introduction to Bioinformatics (CSIS 3200)” hasbeen developed to serve as a major elective course for computer science and information systemsas well as biology majors. This is a lecture-based, computer-assisted course with hands-onapproaches to bioinformatics topics.The main objective of the course is to provide students with both theory and practicalapplications of the subject. Along with stressing the basic knowledge of the key concepts andmethods needed for data analysis, the course also emphasizes the use of standard softwaresystems to access, retrieve, and analyze available biological data. Further, the course educatesstudents about career choices and planning as well as legal and ethical issues.This course has been cross

Ideally, the project would include more formalized lecturesaddressing professional ethics, environmental aspects, project management, anddocumentation. These topics have been conveyed to the student throughout the projectbut not in an organized format.As in any organization, there are individuals that are able to contribute greatly to theproject and other that contribute to a lesser degree. Because the project was bothtechnically challenging and interesting, some students were motivated to invest manyhours beyond

Dealing with theseenvironmental challenges calls for technological solutions to which our engineering students canrelate.Another broader issue that was identified is the social responsibility of the global corporation andthe individual citizen 7. An important issue for study program participants to explore is what itmeans to be a responsible global corporation or citizen and to determine if global corporations“take advantage” of lax environmental and labor laws in developing countries. It was decidedthat it was important to include this ethical dimension in the study program so

The students were all chosen by thefaculty based on their high competence in their respective major, creative spark, work ethic, andthe ability to work in teams. Thus, the students were uniformly good to excellent.We used these criteria for selecting students for several reasons. Firstly, we did not want tospend time on material that was domain specific (there was an exception to this, as noted later),and we wanted students who could complete reasonable tasks in their discipline. Secondly, wewanted to concentrate on design in the context of product development to encourage creative,entrepreneurial thinking. This is possible only when students have acquired reasonablecompetence in their field of
