bioengineering laboratory courseAbstractSuccessful engineers are competent in 21st century skills (problem-solving, critical thinking,technology literacy, creativity, independent learning, excellent communication, and collaborationskills), as well as technical and mathematical principles in order to develop societal solutions.Typically, undergraduate engineering programs utilize capstone design projects and problem setsto promote understanding and integration of engineering concepts. However, in cross-disciplinary fields such as bioengineering, knowledge and use of life sciences is as important asapplying engineering principles. Thus, we need to identify ways to introduce more life sciencestrategies into our bioengineering curriculum. One way to
