Toevaluate students on progress through the self-guided text, short quizzes wereadministered each week and counted toward 25% of the final grade. Professionalism (e.g.attendance, class conduct) accounted for 10% of the grade, with the remaining 50%allocated to the project.Overall PhilosophyAt the core of the semester-long project were two concepts. The first was Coding toThink, which parallels the movement of Writing to Think (13, 24). Briefly, thephilosophy of Writing to Think is to teach writing as a process by which the writer willorganize, clarify and connect

Most existingelectives have prerequisites and are not aimed at first-semester students. As part of thiscurriculum revision, HMC faculty have created a variety of new courses tailored to incomingfreshmen. The authors have recently completed teaching one of these courses, titled E11:Autonomous Vehicles, which offers an interdisciplinary hands-on introduction to engineeringmotivated by a robot

This allows for grading to occurdirectly on the VMs as the instructor or teaching assistants are able to run the VM to evaluate itsbehavior. Finally, Xen Worlds can achieve these goals with a relatively modest hardware costand no software cost.The prototype of the Xen Worlds project was introduced in the senior-level course CprE 431X,Basics of Information Security, in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at IowaState University during the Spring 2005 semester, and has been greatly expanded for the nextoffering of the course in Spring 2006.

For instance, a molecular bioengineering coursecould use the Module 1 material in modeling signaling protein translocation into the nucleus inconjunction with relevant lecture material, or a smaller school with limited resources could adoptthe computational aspects of one or more of the modules while using publicly available data,thereby obviating the need for the associated laboratories. The course described in this paperthus provides a starting point for using a module-based approach to teach the key concepts andapproaches in systems biology.AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Kitter Bishop for assistance with administering the survey instruments,and Will Guilford
