AB  - To better implement the curiosity aspect of entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML), biomimicry was adopted in a tissue engineering course project to nourish curiosity. Biomimicry belongs to bioinspired design and has been reported to offer educators a way to engage students with systems thinking and creative problem-solving, which can potentially inspire student curiosity. Students were required to use natural materials (from plants, insects, etc.) and natural structures/mechanisms in tissue-engineered product design to adopt the biomimicry principle. At the end of the project, an anonymous survey was conducted to assess the relationship between student curiosity and project experience. The curiosity-related assessment was based on the five-dimensional curiosity scale including Joyous Exploration, Stress Tolerance, and Thrill Seeking. Contrary to hypotheses, students’ reported project experience did not relate much to their overall curiosity. However, students’ reported interest in the project was positively related to their desire to problem-solve (Deprivation Sensitivity) and negatively related to their Social Curiosity. Additional assessments will be conducted in the future to validate and expand upon the findings.
