The best aspects of the course included the guest lecturers and the class discussions. The worst aspects of the course included the hefty and chal enging homework assignments, as well as the exams. The students felt like the lecturers tried to cover so much material in a short time, making the course feel rushed. The course would improve if the syllabus was clearer and more organized with perhaps, a more streamlined approach with the homework assignments and projects. Prospective students should expect a chal enging but manageable engineering course in which they wil be successful if they put forth the effort.

The best aspects of this course were the inclusion of current research, guest lectures, and the range of knowledge from theoretical to practical. The course material selected was interesting and relevant, and the course notes were well organized. The worst aspects of the course were the large focus on memorization for the exams and the lack of guidance or feedback on the final project. Many students were not sure the direction they were headed in was the right one. Suggestions for improving the class include giving better feedback on assignments, more focus on engineering over biology, and clear expectations for exams. Prospective students should know this is a great course for an overview of tissue engineering. The class is highly recommended.
