. This certificate could be easily accessible by industryprofessionals, extension personnel, and potential students in remote locations.Students entering the program may have baccalaureate degrees in agriculture, engineering,business, physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, or human sciences. Therefore,the curriculum must accommodate a wide range of educational backgrounds. The program is alsodesigned to provide both breadth and depth. Participants work with their institutional advisors todevelop a plan of study most beneficial to the student.Table 1.

25.462.2This paper will provide the lessons learned in spiral theme based curriculum development with anemphasis on controlling biological systems.BACKGROUNDResearch on how engineering students learn is gaining momentum and has achieved somebreakthroughs with an emphasis on effective pedagogy. This consensus by experts in engineeringeducation presents with unprecedented opportunities to improve student learning, but effectivepedagogy has entered the practice at a slow pace. In addition, the ballooning cost of higher education, isprimarily limiting resources for a quality education (Wellman et al. 2009). Due to this situation, there isincreasing concern that declines in number of technologically innovative graduates, and further thedecline in economic
