fourth year of existence in theChemical Engineering department. Briefly, the REU program sought to offer hands-on researchexperiences to a diverse group of undergraduate students with research projects focused ontopics at the interface of biology and materials including biomimetics, bioinspiration,bioderivation, and biosourcing. More specifically, the program had five main objectives: 1)Enhance the diversity of students involved in interdisciplinary research; 2) Provide an overviewof career opportunities and prepare students for future careers; 3) Provide a solid grounding in awide range of analytical skills that will serve as a set of transferable laboratory and/or simulationresearch skills to participating students; 4) Teach collaborative
online course moduleshelped the Fellows understand and apply research-based teaching practices in developing one ormore lessons.The second phase is a teaching practicum where Fellows participate in approximately 40 hours ofteaching experience at one of the partner Community Colleges (CC). The practicum allows thestudents to put in to practice what they learned during the first phase of the program as well asbecome more aware of the CC student community. Fellows are matched to a CC faculty mentorwith similar expertise. The Fellow selects a STEM course in collaboration with their CC facultymentor. Fellows shadow the CC faculty mentor during the entire semester, and teach selectedlectures and laboratory sessions. CC mentors and Fellows work on a

DfAM is a thought process where existing and new design principles are consolidated todevelop a framework which could optimally make use of the design freedom served by Additivemanufacturing. Williams and Seepersad [7] attempted to address the gap in AM education bydeveloping an undergraduate/graduate course to educate students on the underlying science of AMprocesses

He further statedthat when evaluating a possible investment, a key criterion in assessing investment risk is theability of the regional infrastructure and population base to be able to locally produce at least 30percent of the doctoral level engineering and science talent that will be required by the startupfirm. Thus, access to advanced academic research and development laboratories and advancedacademic programs in engineering is critical to success.Because of the need to further develop the high-tech economy, and with support from localindustry and the state government, three doctoral programs were developed over the last tenyears.

He earned a BSCE in 1963 from the American College of Engineering, in his place of birth, Kabul, Afghanistan, and since then came to the United States with a Fulbright scholarship earning his MS in civil engineering in 1972 and a Ph.D. degree in transportation in 1977. His experience in industry includes work as a highway, structural, mechanical, and consultant engineer and construction manager for govern- ment groups and private companies. Najafi went on to teaching, first becoming an assistant professor at Villanova University, Pennsylvania in 1977, a visiting professor at George Mason University, and then to
