that students learned what desiredproperties (within a range) are needed for each specific bioengineering application. The studentswere to research about the traditional material used for their application and then compare it tothe most suitable material tested in the laboratory. It is because of these reasons that thematerials supported the inquiry-based approach intended for this course, which is highlyemphasized by NSF report for undergraduate engineering education. As one student stated,“actually doing the experiments and seeing the materials act the way they did made the conceptseasier to learn, seeing a beam rebound from the 3 point bending laboratory reinforced thedifference between elastic/plastic deformation.” etc. The emphasis of
