This project fulfills several requirements from theStandards for Technological Literacy and the National Science Education Standards for the fifthand sixth grades. Therefore, creation and dissemination of this project has the potential foroutreach and wide use in the classroom. Page 14.5.2PurposeCurrently, China is producing more graduates in engineering than the US. According to a recentstudy in 2004, China had 664,106 graduates compared to the US’ 222,335 [1]. In addition, thenumber of foreign nationals obtaining higher education degrees in the US is rising. Engineeringliterature is coming to the

of the final project and feedback for revision and improvement within the design process(Alley, 1961). In an educational setting, models and prototypes have traditionally beenconstructed by hand using a variety of materials in the absence of machining tools and training.This is considered a fundamental aspect of design according to the Standards of TechnologicalLiteracy set by the International Technology Education Association (ITEA, 2002), the NationalAcademy of Engineering (NAE, 2002), and many leading engineering educators (Oaks, 2003). In the 1980’s, the manufacturing industry began developing what has evolved into rapidprototyping and three-dimensional printing technology. This technology has provided the abilityfor designers and

biology, chemistry and engineering. In fact, biology has become as much of anenabling science for chemical engineering as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This newparadigm shift in the engineering field demands that undergraduate students should be exposedto biological engineering at an early stage of their career via research and discovery experiences.This will provide them with a better understanding about the importance of interdisciplinaryresearch and science innovation.There is a need for an increase in the representation of individuals in the areas of chemical andbiological engineering. In this ever-increasing technology-driven and globalized society, we needmore individuals who are trained in interdisciplinary sciences to address

Science & Technology. His research focuses on spectral imaging for predicting food quality (beef tenderness) and early diagnosis of human diseases (peripheral arterial disease). He has active research in the area of food safety engineering through integration of heat transfer model and predictive microbial growth/death models for food safety risk assessment. Every fall, he teaches a large sophomore- level class on engineering properties of biological materials, which consists of both lectures and laboratory sessions with an enrollment of more than 70 students. Every spring, he teaches a junior-level course on principles of bioprocess engineering which has an enrollment of about 25 students.Dr. Ashu Guru, University of
