Addressing this issue, we asked what is “the wisdom” of biodesign (i.e.,what are the key concepts)? How do people at different points of professionaldevelopment define biodesign?

These approaches should be applied in the discussion ofdesign and application of the various separation methods to the system being purified,fractionated or concentrated. Separation processes courses also need to encompass a broad rangeof both traditional and novel unit operations such that a student can see the pros and cons in theirapplication from a green

He asserts, “it is unacceptable, we believe, to go onusing research and publication as the primary criterion for tenure and promotion whenother education obligations are required.” [3:34] Additionally, Boyer maintains faculty“are often not rewarded for teaching while being penalized if they fail to do research.”[3:33] Boyer found that “for 70 percent of today’s professors, teaching represents theirprimary interest”; [3:43] however, faculty are often held to narrow—even constraining—expectations that limit their ability to develop as teachers within their disciplines.

The report ispresented at a summer faculty ABET meeting and, based on the findings, recommendationsmade for program improvement. The faculty champion is responsible to follow-up and report onthe success of the improvements.
