most interesting research direction to followknowing the material that was taught in the previous lecture. The next question consisted ininvestigating the feasibility or the implementation of the research ideas the groups came up with;and the next question would go in a more in-depth analysis of the economical or societal pay-offof that research. For instance, the questions that were asked during the “Reproducing macroscalebonds at the nanoscale” were: 1. What are the different mechanisms that are used at the macroscale to create a bond? Name and describe as many of them as you can. 2. What are some nanoscale bonding mechanisms? To what macroscale mechanism(s) are they similar? 3. If you had to reproduce a macroscale

design and apply the concepts learned in a lecture. The class wassuccessful in introducing the broad field of BME in a short summer course and motivatedstudents to consider pursuing STEM majors in college. Data on the alumni and their chosencollege are still being collected and will be presented in the final poster and conclusion.These results demonstrate that by the end of the course students were invested in the productthey had designed from scratch, had seen real world applications, and learned about the field ofBME. In the future, the course content can be adjusted to incorporate guest lecturers, visits tocompanies, and workshops that are more relevant to specific student projects.4. References[1] Zenios, S.
