This work describes a teaching reform of Tissue Engineering course that designs a laboratory course for seniorundergraduate students, where students are challenged with a real-life tissue engineering application and provided witha hands-on experience applying oriented biomaterial technology and cytotechnology by conducting an experiment. Fortysenior undergraduate students coming from School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering in Beihang Universityattended the course. The laboratory course was designed to guide students in raising research questions, generating stronghypotheses, identifying appropriate methodologies, and collaborating with each other to solve problems. Feedback fromstudents attended this course has indicated that, while students find the expectations challenging in the early stages of thecourse, finally they are able to increase awareness and deepened their understanding of this field. We hope that this kind ofeducational modality could spread out to other interdisciplinary fields and contribute to the fast development of moderninterdisciplinary science and technology.
