An Integrated Research, Education/Training and Industry Practice Framework to Accelerate the Innovation in Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing and Eliminate Drug Shortage Wei Xie, Jared Auclair, Jinxiang PeiAbstract: The biomanufacturing industry is growing rapidly and becoming one of the key driversof medicine and life science. Since biopharma manufacturing is based on living organisms, thereexists inherent uncertainty in raw material supply, production process, storage and delivery,which leads to highly volatile outcomes. Even though rich data are collected during drugdevelopment and production processes, industrial practitioners tend to lack knowledge on bigdata analytics, risk analysis, real-time control and

Education ModelThe goal of this project is twofold: (1) to increase the interest in cybersecurityworkforce and (2) to increase the number of teachers equipped to embed the topics intheir curriculum. As such, a model shown in Figure 1 is structured to address fourcritical areas that will help us reach those goals: 1) effective academic and socialintegration [5][6], 2) appropriate financial support, 3) narrow perception of the field ofcybersecurity and available career paths, and 4) role models/mentors. The proposedmodel (Figure 1) is partly based on Tinto’s model of student integration [5] whichfocuses more on experiences the students encounter after coming to college, rather thanthose occurring prior to college. But, we have found several aspects

In this work in progress paper, we characterize the features of these studentfaculty partnerships at Georgia Tech and discuss lessons learned from student and faculty perspectives on their collaboration over the course of a semester. Introduction The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech is currently making an intentional effort to vertically integrate entrepreneurial minded learning and critical reflection within the undergraduate curriculum. With funding from the Kern Family Foundation, the goals of this work are not only to better equip students to meet the demands of the modern marketplace but also to empower students to tell
is a lack of literature usingengineering design in life sciences courses. Considering this lack of research and integration, ourresearch team developed curriculum materials for integrating engineering design where theexisting units of the life sciences curriculum were modified to center around a design challengeand incorporate engineering design principles. The study used teaching science and engineeringin an integrated manner to subsequently explore students’ learning outcomes and engagement(behavioral, emotional, cognitive and social). In this paper, we present the effects of thesedesigned curricula on 6th-grade students’ engagement.More specifically the study is guided by two research questions: 1) What is the relationship between the

That studywould use the data collected through the course inventory process, while also
organizations say about what mechanical engineers need toknow? NAE, CFAT, ABET, and ASME all stress an integration of technical skills but say verylittle about specific technical content. NCEES’s FE exam specifications might be the onlydocument from a national engineering organization that approaches a standard for technicalengineering curriculum content but these specifications are not a credible source on whatengineers have to know. Looking at the leanness of the ABET program criteria for ME, ASME’snon-participation in the NSPE BOK, and ASME’s statements in Vision 2030, one couldcharacterize ASME’s stance as being that almost no particular technical content matters verymuch but that it is essential for engineers to be able to solve problems and

Course to Make Informed Design DecisionsAbstractIn this complete evidence-based paper, it will be shown how computer simulations can beintroduced in a freshman mechanical engineering course and how students can use computersimulations to make informed design decisions. Freshman-level engineering students may haveinsights about the workings of mechanical systems even though they may not be versed in themathematical descriptions of such systems. The motivation for this work is three-fold: (1) allowfreshman students to apply and expand their insights into mechanical systems without the needfor mathematical descriptions which they may not yet be prepared to understand; (2) exposestudents to computer simulations at an early stage of their curriculum

C-K theory is known for integrating multiple domains of information andfacilitating innovation through connection building. We used this theory to create lectures, in-class activities, assignments, rubrics and templates that scaffold the discovery and knowledgetransfer processes involved in using natural designs to inspire engineering solutions.To assess the learning impact of our C-K theory instructional resources, we conducted astatistical comparison of student

never saw a disconnect between engineering and ethics and always felt that when you're teaching specifically design courses, most importantly design courses, that ethical considerations have to be integrated in the class… there might be an engineering ethics course because it seemed like it was a standalone thing that you could ignore.Divorcing ethics from core courses, including design, in the curriculum may imply that ethicsand engineering are divorced in practice. The interviewee concluded, “ethics needs to beintegrated throughout the curriculum.” If ESI is not distributed throughout the coursework andintegrated with core content, students may perceive it as tangential to engineering, which canimpact their ability to recognize and

Although metacognition is key for students’ self-directedlearning, explicit instruction in metacognitive skills has been rarely integrated into engineeringprograms. One notable exception has been the Iron Range Engineering program (IRE). IRE isan innovative engineering program located in Virginia, Minnesota where students explicitlyengage in activities to become familiar with, develop, and apply metacognitive skills within areal-world problem-based learning (PBL) environment.The goal of our IUSE NSF project has been to study
Integrating Entrepreneurial Minded Learning in Circuit Analysis and Design CourseThe challenge of integrating EML in engineering curriculum is adding the EML activitieswithout additional workload to the currently packed curriculum. Instead of developing separatecourses in entrepreneurship, CoE plans to integrate EML into numerous engineering courses.Each course will have EML elements to help students grow with KEEN’s “the three Cs”(Curiosity, Connections, Creating Value) [13]. Incorporating EML in different course sequencessuch as analog and digital circuits, electronic design, and communication sequences will providestudents an opportunity to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

areas that do not overlap. Capstonecourses or projects are frequently used to combat this misperception. Providing an understandingof how topics covered in one course relate to previous courses in the curriculum allows studentsto see the overlap earlier and observe design options. The objective of this research was to integrate the same design project longitudinally intwo introductory structural design classes at multiple universities in order to introduce the ideasof iterative design and design options and reinforce common, key concepts. Longitudinalcurriculum integration is frequently associated with freshman and sophomore level courses andoften used to enhance student retention by maintaining interest in their field of study
