Abstract
At Carnegie Mellon, the biology curriculum provides a research experience for freshman that creates research interest, improves problem solving and analytical skills that are further developed in advanced biology courses. Freshman research courses include: 1) Cellular Response to Environment - new discovery through imaging a cell's response to environmental changes; 2) Summer Research Institute - an intensive summer research experience; 3) Phage Genomics - an introduction to research in bacteriophage genomics; and 4) How Biological Experiments Work - an understanding of the principles of biological experimentation. This workshop describes course goals, and how to adapt and implement them in the curriculum.
