Biological Sciences (61)This new upper division STEM Cell Laboratory course (BIOL 249) is addressing two of the components of the developmental cycle of exemplary undergraduate STEM education, 1) Creating learning materials and teaching strategies and 2) developing faculty expertise. It has the following goals: 1. to test and optimize stem cell protocols for an undergraduate level laboratory course; 2. to integrate cell culture techniques into other courses in the biology curriculum; and 3. to disseminate the stem cell course materials to other CSU faculty by conducting workshops through CSUPERB.Intellectual merit of proposed activity: The experiments and protocols for BIOL 429 are designed to fit the time-limits imposed by course-scheduling at many campuses. The assessments developed for this course are identifying factors that are important for students to learn in order to successfully transfer from didactic practice to a research setting. These assessments are also being used to ascertain the portability of the course to other campuses. Broader impact of the proposed activity: The results from this pilot course are being shared with other CSU faculty-members interested in offering a similar course on their respective campuses through workshops supported by the CSUPERB, a system-wide organization that promotes development of biotechnology curriculum and student research.

生物科学(61)这门新的高级STEM细胞实验室课程(Biol 249)涉及示范本科生STEM教育发展周期的两个组成部分，1)创建学习材料和教学策略，2)发展教师专业知识。它有以下目标：1.测试和优化本科水平实验室课程的干细胞方案；2.将细胞培养技术整合到生物学课程的其他课程中；3.通过CSUPERB举办研讨会，向CSU其他教职员工传播干细胞课程材料。拟议活动的智力优点：Biol 429的实验和方案旨在满足许多校园课程安排所规定的时间限制。为这门课程制定的评估是确定学生为了成功地从教学实践转移到研究环境而学习的重要因素。这些评估也被用来确定该课程是否可移植到其他校园。拟议活动的更广泛影响：这一试点课程的结果正在与CSU其他教职员工分享，这些教职员工有兴趣通过CSUPERB支持的研讨会在各自的校园提供类似的课程，CSUPERB是一个促进生物技术课程开发和学生研究的全系统组织。
