Unit Overview
In a world where we are more connected than ever, diseases can spread rapidly! Students participating in this unit become biomedical engineers as they explore how to prepare for outbreaks of highly contagious diseases. They use the Engineering Design Process to design an antiviral to stop a newly discovered virus from infecting a model cell.
Core Program Unit Components
We recommend one Educator Guide per teacher and one Materials Kit per 24 learners. Together, these components create a high-quality, hands-on STEM learning experience.
Program Components
Print + Digital:
- Printed copy of the Educator Guide containing instructions to facilitate the unit
- Printed copy of student-facing engineering journal for duplication
- Digital access to the Educator Guide via learn.eie.org
