随着工程生物学的影响越来越大，尽早以一种可接触的方式引入这一领域是很重要的。然而，工程生物学的教学带来了挑战，例如该领域在广泛使用的科学教科书或课程中的代表性有限，以及该学科的跨学科性质。我们已经创建了一个可适应的课程模块，任何人都可以使用它来教授工程生物学的基本原理和应用。该模块包括一个通用的、基于概念的幻灯片，由工程生物学领域的专家设计，以涵盖关键主题领域。本幻灯片从设计、构建、测试和学习周期开始，涵盖本科阶段该领域的框架、核心工具和应用程序。该单元可以在公共网站上免费获得，可以独立使用，也可以并入现有的课程材料。我们的目标是，这种模块化的、可访问的幻灯片将提高当前工程生物学主题的教学简易性，并增加公众对该领域的参与。
As the impacts of engineering biology grow, it is important to introduce the field early and in an accessible way. However, teaching engineering biology poses challenges, such as limited representation of the field in widely used scientific textbooks or curricula, and the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. We have created an adaptable curriculum module that can be used by anyone to teach the basic principles and applications of engineering biology. The module consists of a versatile, concept-based slide deck designed by experts across engineering biology to cover key topic areas. Starting with the design, build, test, and learn cycle, the slide deck covers the framework, core tools, and applications of the field at an undergraduate level. The module is available for free on a public website and can be used in a stand-alone fashion or incorporated into existing curricular materials. Our aim is that this modular, accessible slide deck will improve the ease of teaching current engineering biology topics and increase public engagement with the field.
