In addition to the capstone senior design courseofferings, Biomedical Engineering programs increasingly incorporate standalone engineeringdesign courses into the curriculum as early as freshman year. These promising attempts emphasizethe importance of reinforcing engineering design practices. However, it is still a challenge toaccommodate engineering design projects into field-specific courses
othersupporting scientific articles. Students defined design requirements, generated evolutionarysolutions through multiple iterations, and demonstrated the utility of scientific literature byapplying knowledge to enhance their designs. This approach facilitated a deeper exploration ofbiomedical technology, involving critical analysis and improvement of materials, methods, andmanufacturing techniques.Seventeen students participated in the project, divided into six groups, each assigned specifictopics related to wearable and implanted technologies. Over 14 weeks, students followed astructured process, making presentations associated with three design iterations, showcasing theirprogress, and receiving feedback from a teaching team consisting of the

development duringsenior design (3) with projects being refined by medical students during their capstone projects(4). Continuation of projects through this pipeline defines a potential for longitudinal innovativedesign work across disciplines, addressing several of the challenges that are present in thecurrent process. Thus, the selection of an appropriate project in CIP for longitudinaldevelopment is paramount. The purpose of this report is to describe the structure of the revisedCIP, to assess its efficacy by student self-perception, and to reflect on its potential for supportinglongitudinal development. Specifically, to assess the efficacy of the revised CIP, we tested thehypothesis that participation in CIP would increase student’s confidence
Harding and McPherson suggested that over 80 percent ofemployers desire an applicant pool of engineers with fundamental knowledge of finding,applying, and developing standards [2].Our study design is functionally an approach to apply principles of Bloom’s Taxonomy to theeducation of consensus standards. All current standards curricula at the UIC, and most of thatidentified in biomedical engineering education literature [3, 4, 5] focuses on recognition andunderstanding (i.e., the lowest levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy). Capstone design courses mayrequire the incorporation of standards during the design process or verification testing butapproach and standard rigor can be widely varied. Recognition of appropriate standards is quitevaluable for engineers
Biomedical Engineering Curriculum AbstractIn response to the growing importance of ethical consciousness in the realm of biomedicalengineering, we present a comprehensive educational initiative designed to seamlessly integrateethics across the entire curriculum. This endeavor involved close collaboration with facultymembers and the provision of summer salary support to develop substantial ethical thinkingexercises within key technical courses, including Modeling Cells and Cellular Systems, ImagingSystems, Instrumentation, Biomaterials, and senior capstone design classes. This initiative, aptlynamed the "Snail Progression of Ethical Instruction," introduces a structured frameworkspanning four years, each

Work in Progress: Development of a Medical Devices Course for Sophomore Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate StudentsIntroductionThe biomedical engineering (BME) workforce requires competency in professional and technicalskills. BMEs often use knowledge in design, administration and management, and customerneeds assessment [1]. Typical work activities of a BME include analyzing data or information,organizing and planning work, determining compliance with standards, building teams, anddrafting and specifying technical device parts [1]. The undergraduate BME capstone designcourse is often used as a “catchall” to develop these critical professional skills; however, to buildcompetency, it is recommended that these skills be practiced
understand howBME students develop an entrepreneurial mindset (EM). These studies explore curricular EMinterventions designed to encourage development of EM skills such as curiosity about the coursetopics [22], reflective thinking [16], and designing for a certain customer base [17], [42]. In Kinget al.'s study [40], BME students participated in capstone design projects where they worked inteams to design prototypes based on existing patent applications of industry professionals. Thesestudents were able to learn about the engineering design process as well as the business side ofintellectual property development such as patents, customer discovery, budgeting, andcommunication of results [40].In several studies on EM development within a BME context
