offering lecture courses in TE. An online search of current BME/BEcurricula reveals that nearly seventy percent of ABET accredited BME/BE programs offer a TElecture course, yet only roughly fifteen percent offer a lab component or separate lab course. Thebenefits of hands-on experience in this applied and interdisciplinary field are evident, yet veryfew programs offer associated lab courses. The small number of existing TE lab courses may beattributed, in part, to the relatively recent emergence of the field and the lack of availableinstructional materials. To help meet this need, a new textbook entitled A Laboratory Course inTissue Engineering has been written and will be published as a paperback book by CRCPress/Taylor Francis in summer 2012

Sophomore and junior women and men engineering studentscompleted one of two tests where the test questions were a subset of previous FEE questions.One test was comprised of primarily difficult questions while the other was made up of mostlyeasy questions. From a stereotype threat perspective, a student’s concern about beingstereotyped by others should be highest when two factors are at play: (i) the student isperforming poorly (e.g. the questions are difficult); and, (ii) a stereotype might be applied to thestudent (e.g. the stereotype that women are not good at math). Based on previous research, it isin this situation that differences between men’s and women’s performance should emerge. Thedata in this study are consistent with this

Also, the currentenrollments in engineering are not diverse, especially among women, blacks, and Hispanics [2].On another issue, a recent survey of engineers in industry indicates a compelling need forengineers to have strong communication skills [3].

China, as the largest producer of engineeringgraduates in the world, has been encountering many challenges in the field ofengineering education and undergoing a series of engineering education reforms.
