– Module DevelopmentABSTRACTDue to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular and orthopedic disorders in today’s modernsociety, there is a necessity to engineer biomaterials that improve the quality of life for peoplewith painful and debilitating diseases. This will require educational institutions to providespecialized instruction in these areas. Yet, there have been relatively few published reports onbiomaterials and tissue engineering-related lab activities, and existing activities lack a foundationin materials science. A primary deliverable of this project is to address this need and thusstrengthen science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education by developinginteractive experiments that introduce tissue engineering through a

idea that when they become “real” engineers, they willperform static analysis as part of the design process. Instead of basing each problem on the textbook, some of the assignmentsperformed by the students should involve generating specifications for the design of alarger and more complex project. As the students make their way through theengineering program, they can carry along that project as a PDM file. While they areenrolled in a specific class, they can use the knowledge they gain to add to therequirements for their project. This not only reinforces the PLM method, but it allowsthe students to see the course material from a wider perspective, which should help themretain a greater percentage of the material being taught.

The team developing theCorBoK determined an intermediate position reflecting that all systems engineers work in aparticular specialization of systems engineering, but that for different graduates thatspecialization will be different, and that all graduates are first assigned work in which theycontribute to a project but are under the authority of more senior systems engineers who areresponsible for the project as a whole.

We suspect that engineering students allocate more time to their design projects,even though the writing assignments are more heavily weighted. We also suspect thatstudents do not see connections between engineering problem solving and writingproblem solving. Rather, they see writing as an ancillary tool that follows the “real” workof engineering. To test these assumptions, a survey was administered to all sections of thecourse. The survey asks a range of questions about the amount of time, effort, andrevision the students usually apply to writing assignments.

If actual dollars arereceived through external grants and contracts, the university can make money on a project throughindirect overhead costs and the "profit" made by hiring a part-time instructor or graduate studentto cover the researcher’s courses at much reduced salaries and then pocketing the difference.However, more common is the requirement of significant matching funds or cost sharing by theuniversity in the funding program’s request-for-proposals (RFP), as a sign of commitment by theuniversity.
