devices, particularly those utilized in the areas of prosthetics and artificialorgans, are a combination of mechanical systems and materials with sophisticated electroniccomponents. To continue to enhance these devices there is a need for engineers who have acombination of strong interdisciplinary traditional and specialized biomedical engineering skills.Towards this end, in the Spring of 2001 LeTourneau University began to develop the courses andlaboratories necessary to establish a new concentration in biomedical engineering built upon ourbroad core curriculum. This concentration is designed to prepare future engineers forprofessional biomedical positions in industry and for graduate study in BME, the biomedicalsciences, and/or medical school

These modules were pilotedduring the 2017-18 academic year, and were added to the regular EF catalog in the fall of 2018.The DEF also pursued longer term (3-5 year) plans to develop new curriculum. The goal is tocreate a flexible suite of materials that can be adapted to different audiences, including students,academics, and engineering professionals. To this end, Tau Beta Pi partnered with MichiganState University and other regional and national training organizations to submit a proposal tothe National Science Foundation to develop professional skills training

The initial offering of the business-based GSSEprogram did not include a formal means of interfacing GSSE students with capable andinterested engineering and agricultural science students at CSU. Rather, any such interfacesbetween GSEE teams and engineering/science students were achieved on an ad hoc basis andresulted in varying degrees of success. Accordingly, in 2009 a Course and Program Grant wasobtained from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) to formalize alinkage between GSSE Masters students and graduate students within the College of Engineering(COE) and College of Agricultural Science (CAS), respectively.

In parallel, however, a pragmatic need remains tobalance energy-focused training with classical engineering and science fundamentals whilekeeping institutional costs manageable. New energy course content and the laboratoryapparatuses used to deliver it must be carefully evaluated and integrated so as not to overburdenSTEM programs or curricula.Three approaches predominate the instruction of gas turbine systems in current engineeringcurricula. First, gas turbine system theory can simply be taught in a lecture course without anaccompanying laboratory, 2 which deprives students of hands-on experience. Second, the “virtuallaboratory
