The advent of ubiquitous computing technology has transformed scientific and engineering research and development work in less than one generation. The other focus articles in this issue describe how this transformation is manifested in bioengineering and biophysics practices. A natural question is, “What, if any, implications does this have for undergraduate education in these fields?” In this article, we provide two case studies—one from the University of Pennsylvania and another from Columbia University—that illustrate our attempts to transform the educational process based on changes in professional practice.
