Showing engineering students the significance and utility of bio-inspired design is easy.Teaching them how to do bio-inspired design without requiring them to be fully trained as biolo-gists is much more difficult. Teaching bio-inspired design in an engineering curriculum has tradi-tionally relied on either the ad hoc application of biological inspiration or research methods andtools that are tied to specific engineering design methodologies. Typically within the classroom,a tool or method is presented with an example that illustrates the technique and students are ex-pected to practice the inherent knowledge transfer steps required to understand the

courses teach students to work on well-defined andoversimplified problems. Average college students believe that the solution to all problemssimply implies finding the right formulas and plugging data into those formulas. Consequently,the learning of mathematics comes down to remembering formulas. Given application problemswhere the solutions are not based on formula association, most students do not know how to starttheir work. With the increasing complexity of postmodern technology, bridging the gap betweenreal-world problems and problems in textbooks becomes an increasingly critical pedagogicalissue.
