About

The Biomaterials Education SIG members’ mission is to affect the quality of teaching and learning through the discussion, generation, and implementation of innovative ideas Through this, they seek to advance the interest and goals of the biomaterials community by attempting to bridge the gap between classroom theory and clinical application. As the field of biomaterials rapidly evolves, so must biomaterials education. The Biomaterials Education Special Interest Group is dedicated to the belief that all members of the biomaterials education community should be provided with high quality educational opportunities in a stimulating environment. This session will focus on topics including methods for integrating new standards education modules into established biomaterials curriculums, incorporating innovation and entrepreneurial process in curriculums, maximizing learning through the integration of virtual and in-person learning activities in a post-pandemic classroom environment, and methods for engaging the end-user, industry, and entrepreneurial communities in student education.
