diverse needs of society globally.DEI Statements in Senior Design Projects:The requirement for DEI statements in senior design projects at UIC's Chemical EngineeringDepartment is a significant educational innovation. These statements require students to considerand articulate the societal, cultural, and ethical implications of their engineering solutions. Byintegrating DEI considerations into the capstone projects, students are encouraged to thinkcritically about the broader impact of their work, fostering a mindset that values diversity andinclusivity. This integration ensures that students are not only capable engineers but alsoconscientious contributors to society who understand the importance of their work in variouscultural and societal

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

Engineering codes of ethics are introduced in Principlesof Engineering Design, and the connection between these codes and the general educationcontent from Core is discussed in detail in the subsequent sections. In Materials Science andEngineering, an upper division elective, students are given assignments to consider the past andfuture impacts of materials development on society and to consider how the production ofmaterials and applications of materials might promote or violate various ethical standards.

While these classesfulfilled general education requirements, they were not specifically required for all engineeringstudents, as they had alternative options.We built on this history by creating two first-year engineering courses that were required for allengineering students, but also fulfilled general education requirements for all students at ourinstitution.

[1]. Today, manyfirst-year students typically have little hands-on experience related to engineering [2]. Manyhave never used common tools before and do not know how common devices, such as carengines, actually work. Stephen Belkoff, an engineering professor at Johns Hopkins, noted thelack of practical skills for incoming freshmen, “These are all A students, and it took two days tobuild a shelf from Home Depot and get it @$$-backwards” [3]. While they are generally verycomputer savvy, incoming freshmen have little experience with engineered equipment. Studentsdo get experience with equipment in a variety of labs and in their capstone projects during thecourse of their college careers, but neither of these may be with actual equipment used
