The College of Engineering and Technology, and the College of Sciences are jointly developing Bio-Micro/ Nano-Fluidics and Bio-Micro/ Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS) lecture and laboratory courses to educate the future generation of biologists and engineers together. These course designs bridge educational gaps between engineers and biologists by integrating both faculty and students from the two disciplines through comprehensive lecture courses and intensive hands-on learning experiences. In these courses, students first learn biology problems and conventional methods of solving them, and then learn the fundamentals of micro/ nano-fluidics and MEMS/NEMS technologies. Student teams subsequently implement micro/ nano-fluidics and MEMS/NEMS techniques in the laboratory to address specific real-world biology problems.

工程技术学院和科学学院正在联合开发生物微米/纳米流体和生物微米/纳米机电系统（MEMS/NEMS）讲座和实验室课程，以教育下一代生物学家和工程师一起。这些课程设计通过综合讲座课程和强化实践学习经验将两个学科的教师和学生整合起来，从而弥合了工程师和生物学家之间的教育差距。在这些课程中，学生首先学习生物学问题和解决这些问题的传统方法，然后学习微/纳米流体和MEMS/NEMS技术的基础知识。随后，学生团队在实验室中实施微/纳米流体和 MEMS/NEMS 技术，以解决现实世界中的具体生物学问题。
