biology, chemistry and engineering. In fact, biology has become as much of anenabling science for chemical engineering as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. This newparadigm shift in the engineering field demands that undergraduate students should be exposedto biological engineering at an early stage of their career via research and discovery experiences.This will provide them with a better understanding about the importance of interdisciplinaryresearch and science innovation.There is a need for an increase in the representation of individuals in the areas of chemical andbiological engineering. In this ever-increasing technology-driven and globalized society, we needmore individuals who are trained in interdisciplinary sciences to address

Additionally, popularity is gaining, both in research as well as industry, indeveloping and commercializing biobased products. Within this arena, there are tremendousopportunities for teaching innovations as well. To date, very limited discussions at ASEEregarding these potentials have occurred. The goal of this paper is to discuss possibilities foraugmenting engineering and technology curricula by incorporating various concepts frombiomass processing and utilization. We will discuss three specific topics that are germane to thefields of engineering and technology, and could easily be infused into existing coursework.These include quality control

However,little research has been conducted to compare the effectiveness of these methods for engineeringdesign instruction1. A recent study confirmed that students are motivated by classroomenvironments that incorporate interaction and discussion (particularly higher-GPA students) andhands-on activities (particularly lower-GPA students) and assignments that demonstrate a clearconnection to their profession6. While there is no one “right way” to teach the design process, itis clear that the creative learning required for engineering design requires creative instructionalmethods. In addition, it is essential that these methods be assessed to enhance the understandingof
