their first day of class. Guided by an upperclassmen lab manager, students worked together in teams of five on a semester-long HealthInequity Design Challenge. Freshmen had a combination of individual and team assignments togain knowledge in both health inequity and the design process. Throughout the semester,students heard lectures from guest speakers and clinicians on a variety of topics relating to healthinequity and/or the design process including: Health Inequity in the Emergency Room, theDesign Process, Empathy in Design, Ethics in Engineering Design, Ensuring Diversity inClinical Trials, Social Justice, and Entrepreneurship. The course also included discussions oncase studies in ethics with faculty mentors and a design project utilizing

Infact, stakeholder-focused communications employ two of the three aspects of empathy:perspective taking and empathetic concern [9], [10].

lamp’s design was also guided by ethical considerationsthat had to be integral to the design and implementation of a device for medical applications in alow-resource environment. First and foremost, the students recognized that reducing the cost ofthe device should not come at the expense of its safety. If the resulting product was not safe, itwould unfairly put those who use them at risk, and compromise the goal to develop technologyfor communities that need better medical resources. Additionally, it was crucial to the designprocess that the team was in constant communication with stakeholders at SPHMMC, whoprovided insight into the hospital’s needs and feedback on the lamp’s design. Without the inputfrom those who would actually use and
