Design and Development of Educational Modules for Bioprocess Engineering

工程-其他（59）需要工程师能够解决生物加工和制药行业的问题是经济增长和领导在这一新兴领域的关键。该项目通过激励该地区代表性不足的农村学生在这个不断发展的STEM领域追求职业生涯来回应这一时间敏感的需求。通过这个项目，正在开发和实施三个生物过程工程课程的教学材料。这些材料是单元性质的，目前正在编制和分发的三个课程共有九个单元。这些单元是根据课程设计的传统周期方法开发的。课程材料被设计为基于共同主题的综合模块，反映了生物过程工程的当前发展。主题链接跨课程的模块可以帮助学生在看似无关的材料之间建立联系，并加强选定的概念，进一步提高他们的学习。这些材料正在进行严格的评估，并且可以很容易地运输到其他有兴趣提供生物过程工程课程的机构。

Engineering - Other (59)The need for engineers able to solve problems in the bioprocessing and pharmaceutical industries is a key to economic growth and leadership in this emerging area. This project is responding to this time-sensitive need by inspiring underrepresented and rural students in the region to pursue careers in this growing STEM field. Through this project, instructional materials are being developed and implemented in three bioprocess engineering courses. The materials are modular in nature, with a total of nine modules that are being developed and distributed in three courses. The modules are being developed based on the Legacy Cycle approach for curriculum design. The curricular materials are being designed as integrated modules that build upon common themes and that reflect current developments in bioprocess engineering. Thematically linking the modules across courses helps the students make connections between seemingly unrelated material and reinforces selected concepts, further enhancing their learning. The materials are being rigorously evaluated and are easily transportable to other institutions interested in delivering bioprocess engineering courses.
