. Krystina CallahanDr. Kimberly L Bothi, University of Delaware Dr. Kim Bothi has a multidisciplinary background in engineering and social sciences, with research and consulting experience across a range of developing country contexts. She earned a Ph.D. in global community-based resource management from Cornell University (2012), and holds earlier degrees in en- vironmental engineering from Cornell (MS, 2007) and McGill University (BSc.Eng., 2000). As Director of Global Engineering in the University of Delaware’s College of Engineering, Kim is responsible for expanding opportunities for students, staff and faculty to engage in cross-disciplinary, globally-minded research and academic programming. In 2016 and 2017, Kim co
and Applied Sciences at Columbia University. This course was targeting the higher levels oflearning as described by Bloom’s taxonomy. At the end of the course, we aimed for the students to be: a. Able to define nanobiotechnology in the context of modern science and engineering, b. Capable of understanding and interpreting concepts such as intermolecular bonds, adsorption and binding/unbinding processes, nanoscale transport mechanisms, and degradation mechanisms at the nanoscale, c. Comfortable in estimating orders of magnitude of objects that relate to engineering, d. Capable of comparing and evaluating research papers related to nanobiotechnology with a critical mind, e. Able to take a position towards an
beformulated. Often with undergraduates, and many writers in general, the most difficult anddebilitating part of a writing assignment can be taking a persuasive stance and building a paperor piece with the power to change the reader’s mind. Scaffolding can be categorized as pre-writing, the first stage of the three stage writing process, which is then followed by writing andrewriting. According to Murray, the prewriting stage can commonly take up to 85% of the totaltime spent on the assignment [4]. In addition to strengthening students’ writing, the emphasis onwriting as process also has positive impacts on content learning [4]. Using this scaffolding skillin engineering classes would provide an effective mechanism to train students to become

) courses supports thetwo objectives above and improves both student engagement and retention [1], [3], [5], [9], [12]–[17]. With this in mind, the School of Biomedical Engineering at Colorado State Universitysought to improve the 100-level Introduction to Biomedical Engineering course (BIOM-101).This high enrollment (approximately 150 student) course is required for all undergraduatestudents pursuing a biomedical engineering major or minor and is typically taken the first fall ofenrollment in the degree program. The course has been offered every fall for the past seven yearsand, until 2016, was almost exclusively lecture-based with little to no formalized in-class peer-to-peer interaction. In Fall 2015, the course met three times per week
