Enhancing Bioengineering Opportunities for Engineering Majors

提案编号：0230058 PRINCIPAL调查员：克里普(鲍曼)梅丽莎·J·斯图尔特名称：密歇根州立大学TITLE：提高工程专业学生的生物工程机会摘要密歇根州立大学将计划对其本科工程专业进行系统改革，并加强本科生在生物工程领域的学习。该项目将由一个由工程学院和教育学院教员组成的跨学科小组负责。它将讨论以下影响课程改革倡议可持续性的因素：学术单位内和机构层面的战略规划的作用；系主任/院长和学院院长的领导作用；教员规划、教员评估和教员自主权的作用；个别教员及其学术单位的价值观和奖励制度；以及组成群体在建立和评估教育计划目标和课程结果方面的作用。生物工程之所以被选为这项改革努力的重点，是因为密歇根州最近宣布了一项10亿美元的计划，即每年5000万美元，为期20年。致力于开发“密歇根生命科学走廊”。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230058PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Crimp (Baumann) Melissa J.INSTITUTION NAME: Michigan State UniversityTITLE: Enhancing Bioengineering Opportunities for Engineering MajorsAbstractMichigan State University will plan a systemically reform of its undergraduate engineering programs and to enhance undergraduate student learning in the field of bioengineering. This project will be undertaken by an interdisciplinary team composed of faculty from the College of Engineering and the College of Education. It will address the following factors that affect the sustainability of curricular-change initiatives: the role of strategic planning within the academic unit and at the institutional level; the leadership role of department chairs/heads and college deans; the role of faculty planning, faculty assessment and faculty autonomy; the system of values and rewards for individual faculty and for their academic units; and the role of constituent groups in establishing and evaluating educational program objectives and curricular outcomes. Bioengineering was selected as the focus for this reform effort because the State of Michigan recently announced a $1B.i.e., $50M/year, twenty-year. commitment to developing "A Michigan Life Sciences Corridor."
