N2 - Statement of Purpose: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) is a rapidly evolving field that brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines1,2 to explore aspects of both basic and applied biological sciences.3 Further, biomaterials serve as an integral component of TERM that allows researchers to implement the classic paradigm of the combination of scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules to study and generate tissue formation.4 As TERM is a continuously developing field, it is important to ensure that biomedical engineering undergraduate curriculum continues to expose students interested in pursuing a career in TERM to the skills necessary for success after graduation. As faculty members are responsible for implementing curriculum and providing training to engineering students, an exploration of faculty perceptions of the TERM field provides valuable insight that can help inform curriculum design and development.
