A novel multifaceted elective course in Biological Engineering is described, along with the
experience in its instruction and development over 14 years. The course introduces …

We describe the development of a course to teach modeling and mathematical analysis
skills to students of biology and to teach biology to students with strong backgrounds in …

Computational modelling is widely used in biological science. Therefore, biology students
need to learn computational modelling. However, there is a lack of evidence about how to …

This paper explores the implementation of process engineering design software, specifically
UniSim®, as a vehicle to investigate student interest, engagement, and confidence in …

Bioinformatics is one of the fastest growing interdisciplinary sciences of the late 20th and
early 21st century. For many students, bioinformatics is such a new discipline that they will …

We believe that undergraduate biology students must acquire a foundational background in
computing including how to formulate a computational problem; develop an algorithmic …

Our paper describes a solution we found to a still existing need to develop mathematical
modeling courses for undergraduate biology majors. Some challenges of such courses …

Model-based instruction offers numerous benefits to students, including increased content
