field in the undergraduate curriculum. This paper will present a cell-culture based biocompatibility module with laboratory and lecture components that can be easilyintegrated into an engineering or biomaterials course.This module was developed to introduce students to basic cell culturing techniques and toprovide students with exposure to the issues related to the interaction between living and non-living materials (ABET Bioengineering Program Criteria). The lecture component focuses onbiocompatibility issues, including: the definition of biocompatibility, cellular response toimplantation of a foreign material, and the types of biocompatibility tests recommended by theFDA. For the laboratory component, students are first introduced to basic

The second major componentis a team-based self-directed laboratory project. Student teams ideate around laboratory projects,then draft a research proposal including a description, timeline, and budget. The project isscheduled for approximately one month, and teams use both in- and out-of-class time to work onthe project (12 hrs/week). Benchside mentorship is provided by both the instructor and bylaboratory assistants, normally students with advanced laboratory skills

practice the Four A’s strategy through a homeworkassignment in which they were asked to apply the Four A’s to a particular laboratory situation(Appendix B). The proposed case was based on a real-life example.Assessment ResultsReflective Assignment: The main goal for this assignment was to provide students with thechance to reflect on the material discussed and place it into context. Students were evaluated onwhether they provided a well-developed reflection on the implications and a personal evaluationof the proceedings (Appendix A). For the most part, students were able to synthesize theinformation presented and put it into the context of their own lives or future career goals. Withthe majority of students, obvious effort was put into
