introduction is educationally appropriate, interesting to students, and relatively eas-ily achieved by faculty. Numerical problem solving allows for the solution of realistic engineeringproblems, and the gradual introduction of numerical problems into core courses is well-receivedby students. Such usage encourages the appropriate use of numerical methods for problem solvingon the student’s own personal computer and thus becomes a very useful education tool. Manydepartments choose to provide a numerical analysis course at some point in the curriculum forthose students who wish to have more knowledge of the numerical methods used in these softwarepackages. These problems are also useful in this type of course.BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATIONMichael B. Cutlip is

This structure was built on the original curriculumdeveloped in 1999, which encompassed seven courses to be taken over three years (see Table 1).Drexel University’s academic calendar is divided into quarters, which allows for the completionof more than two courses per academic year. At this juncture, the courses do not lead to a formaldegree in Tissue Engineering, but provide the opportunity for a concentration in this novel areaof study.

traditionally had been heavily laboratory-oriented,but many lab courses went by the wayside to make room for more science and math. It is alsoworth noting that, up to this time, most young people came to engineering studies with aconsiderable amount of hands-on experience acquired by building and fixing engineered systems(cars, radios, appliances) and therefore a substantial body of conceptual understanding of howthings work. This conceptual foundation provided a good framework on which to build atheoretical base of engineering science.The emergence in the '70s of mainframe computers as engineering tools produced a demand forprogramming skills, and the introduction of programming and computing courses further forcedlab studies out of the curriculum
