CUBE: Integrating Biological Engineering into Undergraduate Engineering Education at CU

该规划拨款旨在在科罗拉多大学化学和生物工程系（CBEN）内建立教育基础设施，该基础设施将作为卓越的中心，用于教育学生，并将生物学和工程原理纳入教育和有远见的研究领域。 预计多方面的计划融合了一些不同的方法，包括新的和增强的课程，外联活动和教学进步将导致建立一个学士学位。 化学和生物工程专业。 该计划将生物学、生物化学和生物工程核心课程和实验室纳入该课程，以生物工程为载体，通过开设新课程和加强核心课程来进行课程改革;将生物研究融入本科教育，使每个本科生都有机会探索实验室经验，并为学生毕业后的追求做好充分准备进一步的学术努力或就业;并增加少数族裔和妇女在系里的入学率和保留率。

This planning grant aims to build an educational infrastructure within the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBEN) at the University of Colorado that will serve as a center of excellence for educating students and integrating education and visionary research in areas that incorporate biology and engineering principles. It is anticipated that multi-faceted plan blending a number of different approaches, including new and enhanced curricula, outreach activities and pedagogical advances will lead to establishing a B.S. degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering. The plan will integrate biology, biochemistry, and biological engineering core courses and laboratories into this curriculum; use biological engineering as a vehicle to reform the curriculum by creating new courses and enhancing the core curriculum; integrate biological research into undergraduate education so that every undergraduate has the opportunity to explore the laboratory experience and students graduate fully prepared to pursue further academic endeavors or employment; and increase the enrollment and retention of minorities and women in the department.
