A three-pronged approach has been prepared forcurriculum implementation; a bioinformatics course that would provide students with boththeory and practical aspects of subject, course-embedded modules containing bioinformaticstopics that can be integrated into selected science and engineering courses, and trainingworkshops for faculty and curriculum development. A multipurpose bioinformatics laboratorywill be established to support the bioinformatics curriculum, research and outreach activities. Anintroduction to bioinformatics course has been developed and in-place for offering in Spring2007 semester.

do not typically consider the public experts in their ownright. The service-learning approach is intended to develop “humility” from the start of anengineering student’s career (ultimately, Lima wants an engineer to think of him/herself as afacilitator, not “the DESIGNER”). Playgrounds were also deliberately chosen because theengineering standards that drive the engineering design process for playgrounds are notcomplicated, and because playgrounds are something that every student has experience with (it isdifficult to design something that you know little to nothing about).Over the course of a semester, students first learn about playground design, playground safetystandards, and engineering design; they are placed into groups and they visit

A survey of over 1,200 undergraduate engineeringstudents found male students were more likely to list inventing something new and achievingfinancial security as life aspirations while female undergraduates reported making a difference inthe world as a life aspiration (6). Gender differences were also noted in the motivation ofengineering undergraduates. For instance, one study reported that intrinsic psychologicalmotivations were less common in female students (8). The same study identified a connectionbetween student activities and motivations. Engineering undergraduates that

Agrowing body of data supports the conclusion that active learning is indeed superior to thetraditional lecture format, both in terms of student retention and student performance(Natl.Acad.Sci, 2009; AAAS, 2011; PCAST, 2012; Singer, 2012). Recent efforts at ColoradoSchool of Mines to integrate biology into our engineering curriculum have led to a revisedfoundational biology course that has rigor and relevance for our engineering students. The movefrom traditional lecture to an active learning environment was key in our efforts to engage ourstudents, with the intent of improving our students’ comprehension of biology.
