She also has collaborated with the National Academy of Engineering’s Center for Engineering, Ethics and Society in developing bibliographies and other materials for the Online Ethics Center, as well as developing the Ethics Education Library, an online database of articles, syllabi, ethics case studies, and best practices of how to integrate ethics into existing technical courses and workshops. Ms. Laas received her MLS in 2005 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and is a member of the College

Engineering Research Center. He joined the BME depart- ment at IIT in 2007, where he is interested in problems associated with molecular and cellular engineer- ing, specifically the computational modeling of cellular migration. David teaches several courses within the BME department, most notably the senior design capstone sequence (BME 419 and 420) which he co-instructs with Dr. Jennifer Kang Derwent. He also is the lead instructor for IPRO 2.0, an interdisci- plinary project-based course required of all undergraduate at IIT. David collaborates actively with IIT’s entrepreneurship academy as well as its math and science education department. David is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and the American

Upon return to the United States, the CURE2010 cohort completed the program during the Fall 2010 semester in the Emory or Georgia Techlabs.Research DesignOur qualitative methodology uses case study design (Fasse, 1993; Merriam, 1988; Yin, 1984) toanswer first-round research question: what could we learn from the first cohort about CURE’spotential for promoting interest in graduate school- specifically with an international component,developing the globally-engaged biomedical engineer, and linking partnering internationaluniversities through undergraduate researchers as a shared asset? The participants’ cases-- theirindividual and collective experiences—form the basis and unit of study (Stake

The currentteaching assistant, a former student of the class, is realizing the results of his Ph.D. research in anew business venture.Essential elements of the instructional team are a complementary set of experiences andexpertise, and a strong commitment to realize the benefits of project based learning for theirstudents. It is helpful to frame the class environment such that the classroom is seen as aresearch and development firm with the instructors as managers. Instructors then embrace therole of facilitator-manager with the responsibility to model best management practices for theteams they oversee. A single instructor can effectively

, splines, numericalmethods), with programming as a means to an end (14, 18-20, 29)? Or should the coursebe designed to learn a specific computer language, such as MATLAB, as an example ofan engineering tool (5, 6, 10, 22, 26, 28)? Alternatively, the course could be structured toteach algorithmic thought processes (10, 14, 20, 31-34). No one way is best and anycomputing course should address all three to some extent. The implementation of acomputing course, however, does need to be tailored to the objectives and backgroundsof the students. For example, the lecture-homework-test progression may be excellent ataddressing an applied math objective, while short programming assignments may addressthe learning of syntax. Here we present a semester-long
