Table 2. Use Case Examples for the Intro to Engineering Biology Module and Specific Concepts.

Setting Goal Concepts Used
Community college: Biology 101 course Show approach, applications, and careers. Teach DBTL thinking. Complete lecture, with DBTL project.
Graduate school course on molecular biology Introduce students to the field, use slides as framework to incorporate current material. 1–2 DBTL early in course.
1–3/1–4 Core Tools slides expanded to full lectures.
Company in engineering biology industry onboarding new employees Introduce new employees to a conceptual overview of engineering biology as a field using slides as a point of departure. 1–1 and relevant application of 1–5, coupled with slides on the company’s own technology.
High school club/extracurricular on synthetic biology Expand on existing coursework (such as that from BioBuilder, https://biobuilder.org), show technologies used and careers in the field. Full lecture (have different group members present a section of slides to the group), including further resources.
