Unconventional Education at Rice University: Ann Saterbak

When you hear a college student say “You have to take this class,” the teacher must be doing something right. One of Ann Saterbak’s goals as a professor in the practice of bioengineering at Rice is to make engineering fun while still challenging. All you have to do is spend a few minutes in her freshman ENG 120 class at the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen at Rice University and you will notice she has done that and more.  The class takes students from all walks of engineering, then blends them together and creates an environment of team building, deadlines and results.
