formetallic biomaterials, the partnership between engineering and biology has strengthened and isyielding significant benefits for students. The partnership has grown in several dimensionsincluding coursework, funded proposals, joint faculty positions, and shared facilities. During2010 a team of faculty representing engineering and biology and administrators were awarded anNSF Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) grant titled EBEE: Enhancing Bioscienceand Engineering Education through curriculum integration and research experiences in systemsbiology. The main theme of the project is to incorporate life sciences education and researchacross the campus and to demonstrate it by creating intentional and sustained collaborationsbetween the

section). EI-100 goal isto introduce students to the Engineering Method, this is accomplished by focusing on six courseobjectives: self-regulation, communication, working cooperatively and collaboratively, problemsolving, modeling, and quality. The “Modeling” section initiates students in the process ofengineering modeling, using several software including spreadsheets. “Concepts” introducestudents to the engineering design process, problem-solving techniques, working in teams,engineering as a profession, and planning for success that students then apply in “Laboratory” ontwo actual design projects. The “Concepts” section uses quizzes given in nearly every session toascertain whether students have understood the material in their pre-class
