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
