An Integrated Research, Education/Training and Industry Practice Framework to Accelerate the Innovation in Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing and Eliminate Drug Shortage Wei Xie, Jared Auclair, Jinxiang PeiAbstract: The biomanufacturing industry is growing rapidly and becoming one of the key driversof medicine and life science. Since biopharma manufacturing is based on living organisms, thereexists inherent uncertainty in raw material supply, production process, storage and delivery,which leads to highly volatile outcomes. Even though rich data are collected during drugdevelopment and production processes, industrial practitioners tend to lack knowledge on bigdata analytics, risk analysis, real-time control and

In thiscourse, students must integrate their previous learning from the electronics bridge courses thatwere taken at their AAS-level colleges. Besides being an inherent concept reinforcementvehicle, this course serves as the primary bridge from the electronics bridge and calculus coursesthat were taken at the AAS-EET level to the +2 BS-EET curriculum. Numerous EET studentshave told their instructors that in this course they realized that they were “in the right place,” thatthey could “handle” the academic rigors of a BS-EET program, and that they were committed tocompleting the program.

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of current TAC of ABET practices andproposed ideas for the future are presented in an earlier paper by Pagano [3]. For the present,TAC has chosen to maintain its course, and has resisted wide-scale adoption of the outcome-based philosophy. Conversely, TAC has fully supported the integration of continuingimprovement expectations into the criteria. To examine and possibly implement some of thesechanges, TAC convened a mid-year working session in February 1995.

degree. Students often fail to appreciate the importance oflinkages within and among courses and subjects, and instead view their undergraduate educationas a series of disjoint and unrelated courses.Making conceptual linkages and transferring knowledge from one context to another is aparticularly important skill for engineers1. Engineers routinely are required to reduce complexproblems to simpler ones that they can understand and analyze using well understood principlesand models. Additionally, learning new information is more effective and efficient if the newinformation is framed within a known context and in fact, deduced from an establishedknowledge base.

In either case, the instructional lab plays animportant educational role.Doing the lab work, from the student point of view, is time consuming with less creditgiven (one credit hour for every three clock hour work.)
