This type of design is very effective since it provides a quick“snapshot” of current skills, behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs in a particular population.Instruments: As a means of assessing the quality of the individual workshop presentations, a

Research Experience in a bioengineering laboratory at a major researchuniversity can enhance the knowledge of a high school pre-engineering or science teacher,making it possible to more effectively convey the nature of the scientific process inbioengineering to his or her students. In combination with guided instruction in Common CoreState Standards and Next Generation Science Standards-aligned curricula design, the laboratoryresearch is more effectively translated and applied in high school science classrooms.
