Faculty of the Biotechnology Process Engineering Center (BPEC) have led a team of interdisciplinary faculty from engineering and biology in a pioneering restructuring of engineering education at MIT. All engineering students at MIT are now required to study molecular biology. In addition, a range of new degree options and programs focusing on molecular/tissue bioengineering from undergraduate to the Ph.D. has been developed to complement the more “traditional” biochemical and biomedical routes. Members of BPEC pioneered this approach to education in its first decade and Professor Linda Griffith, currently the ERC’s Associate Director for Education, led that curriculum reform.
