Summary process Below are the steps to implement in Undergraduate and Graduate Bioengineering studies, summer project planning and completion taking about 18 months (Fig. 5).
Step 1. | Choose Faculty and Postdoctoral Researchers (the experts) to lead projects |
Step 2. | Initiate a brainstorming session and allow the experts choose their projects |
Step 3. | Each expert creates baseline material and puts in a curated Google Classroom |
Step 4. | Have a conference call to orient students in the Google Classroom |
Step 5. | Give the students time to participate on the Google Classroom |
Step 6. | Combine students in their chosen projects via a skills workshop |
Step 7. | Hold office hours between workshops |
Step 8. | Have conference where students present as the ‘other’ discipline |
Step 9. | Students complete their mini capstones, creating an artifact that they can present at a conference |
