Enhancing Bioengineering Opportunities for Engineering Majors

提案编号：0230058校长：克里姆普（鲍曼）梅利莎J.机构名称：密歇根州立大学标题：提高生物工程专业的机会摘要密歇根州立大学将计划一个系统的改革其本科工程课程，并提高本科生在生物工程领域的学习。该项目将由工程学院和教育学院的教师组成的跨学科小组进行。它将解决以下因素影响的可持续性的教学改革举措：战略规划的作用，在学术单位和机构一级;系主任/主任和学院院长的领导作用;教师规划的作用，教师评估和教师自治;制度的价值观和奖励个别教师和他们的学术单位;以及各组成团体在确立和评估教育方案目标方面的作用， 课程成果。生物工程被选为这一改革努力的重点，因为密歇根州最近宣布了一项10亿美元的计划，5000万美元/年，20年。致力于发展“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."
