A few examples below: Week 1: Daniel Fahrenheit and his temperature scale Anders Celsius and his temperature scale William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) and his temperature scale Week 5: Alfred Nobel and the invention of Dynamite Week 9: Fritz Haber and the synthesis of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen Ernest Solvay and the industrial production of sodium carbonate Week 12: Charles Martin Hall and industrial production of aluminum Week 13: Henry Perkin and the synthesis of the first synthetic dyes Felix Hoffman and Arhur Eichengrun –synthesis of Aspirin Stephanie Kwolek and the synthesis of Kevlar

21. Examples of i2e components of Chem/Bio courses Summer Internship “ Seek and Destroy” for Undergraduate Lab Training Objective: To engineer a strain of E. coli bacteria that can search out nerve toxins and destroy them. Exposes students to cutting edge research in the area of synthetic biology, whose aim is to re-engineer cells/organisms to perform a defined task. Students pursue the genetic engineering as part of a summer research internship. If successful, the engineered bacterium would also be submitted to the iGEM (internationally Genetically Engineered Machines) competition for undergraduates held each year at MIT. Invention and innovation: students given a toolbox of genes from which they can create/invent their own cell/organism.

22. Examples of i2e components of Chem/Bio courses Senior Capstone Laboratory Invention Prototyping Laboratory Objective: To provide students with the toolboxes and guidance they need to build and test a prototype of an invention, such as a biosensor. Students are provided with optical, electrical, mechanical, etc. toolboxes from which they can build a prototype. Senior Research Project Objective: To expose students to a modern research laboratory and the opportunity to interact in research with faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Students are required to carry out an original research project, under the guidance of a faculty member.
