words that they are citizens of the world as well as citizens of a particular country. An ability to exhibit a global mindset includes an understanding and avoidance of ethnocentrism, the idea that one’s own culture is superior to all other cultures. An ability to exhibit a global mindset is a state of mind that provides a positive disposition to be successful in a global environment8, 17, 25, 26, 27.   Engineers who exhibit a global mindset are “able to place technology in a global context, recognize the multidisciplinary and multicultural approaches to problem solving…and achieve a greater understanding of diversity”6. Each engineer should also comprehend the international dimensions of his/her major field of study28

Here, the facet ofsociety that we intend to approach is the society of consumption.In a capitalist system, consumption moves the economy, i.e., commerce, industrialproduction, availability of employment or goods, investments, and so on.

This will giveus the ability to discuss more advanced engineering/mathematical problems in a short period oftime, which cannot be accomplished with general purpose programming languages. We shouldkeep in mind that the main reason behind offering a programming course for engineeringstudents is to help them with their future scientific computational tasks. We believe that Matlabcan be used to serve this purpose. The fact that the majority of engineering jobs (excludingcomputer engineering which is not part of our discussion) do not require programming, but mayrequire problem solving, should also justify the use of Matlab in engineering programmingcourses. Moreover, since Matlab is an integrated part of

Structural Aspects of Biomaterials has been taught at the University of California atBerkeley for the past five years. This course is offered to junior and senior-level undergraduatestudents in both the Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering departments, and is meant tohighlight the intersections of these two fields through a focus on the mechanics of both naturaland synthetic biomaterials. The typical course size is approximately sixty students. The syllabusof the course has undergone small changes while largely maintaining the same course objectives.The course content is summarized in Table 1. Topics covered include: basic
