Bioengineering 91×ÔÅÄers at the 91×ÔÅÄ will lead a multi-million-dollar effort to grow functional human heart tissue, an undertaking that could lead to tissue-engineered replacement hearts and set in place the technology to grow other major organs in the laboratory.

You might call it real virtuality. That’s how some 91×ÔÅÄ freshmen are describing the chance to finally meet Japanese students from Tohoku University with whom they collaborated fall quarter via cyberspace on a series of engineering projects. The teamwork was part of a new class designed to introduce beginning college students to hands-on engineering in the international arena.
