Abstract
A new Integrative Biointerfacial Engineering (IBE) curriculum to effectively get known among a diverse range nonengineers involving a three pronged focus on molecular/cellular engineering, micro/nanoscale biomaterials are discussed. The curriculum on biointerfaces can be designed to articulate with the specific areas of research expertise of each graduate institution. Three major thrusts are identified which includes living cell biointerfaces, biologically interactive nanoscale and systems or devices built from designed biointerfaces. Thrust involves studies at the interfaces that occur between living cells and biomaterials. The bioengineering curriculum is aimed at second-year or higher graduate students in chemical and biomolecular engineering. The curriculum builds laterally on graduate core engineering courses such as transport phenomena, analytical methods in chemical and bioengineering.
