interdisciplinary STEM education by: • creating a peer-mentoring program between faculty and students in different STEM disciplines. • implementing rigorous assessment and survey tools to evaluate the success of the course during and after course activities.2. Enhance knowledge of Biomechanics and Biotransport for faculty by: • preparation of lectures, laboratories and student research presentations. • modifying existing STEM curriculum based on the need of the course.3. Develop and implement a course and curriculum changes to encourage Biomaterials as a minor program of study by: • developing a specialized course, Integrative Biomechanics and Biotransport course. • developing strong communication between faculty and students.4
