academic work and the real-life workingworld.IntroductionRecent analyses have uncovered that the future will require the participation of greater numbers offemales and minorities in the increasingly technological work [4]. The U.S. Census Bureauestimates that individuals of African, Indian, and Hispanic descent account for over 30% of the U.S.population, yet they are woefully underrepresented in the technological fields. The Bureauestimates that by the year 2050, minorities will comprise half (50%) of the U.S. population.Minorities, therefore, will be expected to comprise half of the labor force in the technological fields,or a resulting shortage of scientists and engineers may result [8]. Therefore, as educators, we needto discover new and

curriculum is organized into six key areas including advanced biomaterials, cell-tissueconstruct interaction, protein factor technology, scaffold design and manufacturing, biosurfaces,and computer-aided tissue engineering. This structure was built on the original curriculumdeveloped in 1999, which encompassed seven courses to be taken over three years (see Table 1).Drexel University’s academic calendar is divided into quarters, which allows for the completionof more than two courses per academic year. At this juncture, the courses do not lead to a formaldegree in Tissue Engineering, but provide the opportunity for a concentration in this novel areaof study. For instance, the Advanced Biomaterials and the Tissue Engineering courses are partof a

of the modern technological society.IntroductionEvidently, the globalizations of the economy, Internet connectivity, and exploding informationtechnology have had a profound impact on modern societies.1, 2 The modern society, and oureveryday lives, are increasingly dependent on scientific and technical innovation.3 Engineering,central to innovation, is dramatically influenced by the rapid changes that are taking place on aglobal scale. There has been much debate in recent years that traditional engineering education,however, does not adequately prepare the new graduates to face the ever-changing demands oftechnological societies. In a survey of engineering employers, conducted by Todd et al.4, thefollowing frequently-cited perceptions of

There are a plethora of other examples that demonstrate the ways in whichWhiteness manifests in engineering design, including an overpass bridge that stops buses fromaccessing a wealthy White neighborhood [14], a GPS app which unintentionally promotesresidential discrimination and racial segregation [15], and facial and voice recognition systemsthat work better on White individuals exacerbating racial profiling in policing [16].

, measurements and mathematical analysis react to internal and externalforces acting upon it by finding or applying quantitative physical laws.Technology owes its practical successes to discoveries achieved by scientists with purelytheoretical intentions, as in the case of many physicist. It is true that in other cases discoverieshave arisen through scientific investigation of technical concrete problems. Thus, the creation ormanufacturing of technology must develop through basic investigations in order to solveproblems of application. Hence, there exists a continuous exchange between the sciences ofphysics and engineering [Morón et al., 2011].Advanced manufacturing methods for UAVs include design analysis relating to the aerodynamicforces of thrust

While BioMEMS technologies have dramatically altered biomedical,pharmaceutical, and environmental research, they are yet to be successfully transferred to theundergraduate curricula.Since microsystem technologies often employ techniques developed for the microelectronicsindustry, microfluidic devices were first fabricated in silicon, and later in glass, using standardphotolithography and wet etching processes to produce planar
