There has been a setof joint workshops to teach MATLAB to biologists but these workshops were also attended byengineering faculty and students. While biology students and faculty learned the modelingcapabilities of MATLAB, engineering students and faculty were exposed to the SIMBIOLOGYtoolbox..Recognizing that research into new biomaterials is a significant area of emphasis for modernmaterials research and therefore is an area worthy of study, the mechanical engineeringdepartment faculty has upgraded the course entitled Modern
