This past semester, Illinois' Bioengineering department piloted a brand new course, BioFabrication Lab, that teaches undergraduate students how to build biobots. Developed as part of the NSF-funded EBICS (Emergent Behaviors of Integrated Cellular Systems) Science and Technology Center, the course distilled down cutting-edge EBICS research and initiated eight Bioengineering juniors and seniors into the mysteries of building with biology.
