novel curriculum based upon provenpedagogical approaches designed to engage the students and improve their mastery of concepts.This paper highlights two curriculum modules developed for a bioprocess engineering programas part of a larger curriculum improvement program.Project BackgroundIn 1999, the National Research Council published How People Learn: Mind, Brain, Experience,and School 2 as the summary of what we know from research about the first three words of thistitle. This document proposed four “centerednesses” that, taken together, optimize learning:knowledge-centeredness, student-centeredness, assessment-centeredness, and community-centeredness. When these four are in place, studies show that students increase both theircontent

whatour curriculum will be from a macro level perspective, we are in a good position to createcourses across and the breadth and depth of biological engineering content in a balanced,integrated manner. Even though discipline standards, department curriculum, and individualcourses may develop at different rates, and not in a linear fashion, our goal is to explicitly definethe relationships between each level early so that as the discipline standards take shape we canensure that our curriculum is updated, and focus our efforts in a continuous improvement processover time. Keeping the principle of alignment in mind, the next few sections of this paper willconsider some of the profits and pitfalls associated with our efforts at discipline, curriculum

the four modules and a voluntary in-class surveyconducted after all modules were performed. The overall student impression of the course was extremely favorable. The end of thesemester survey that is usually ran by the college of engineering yielded a 4.67/5.0 rating for thecourse. 64% of the students completed the end of semester course survey. Students enjoyed theflexibility of the hands-on modules and commented that the modules were very helpful inreinforcing specific concepts in their minds. The grading of the technical reports was performedaccording to a rubric. This rubric was shared with the students prior to report submission. Clearexpectations on what the report should include were as well given to the students. The reportswere
