the PIs for each SO, the selected courses, and evaluationmethods such as exams, projects, and rubrics. PIs were assessed using rubrics on a 1–4 scale(Novice to Exemplary), with a benchmark of 2.8 (70%) set for achieving each PI within its SO,ensuring alignment with ABET standards.The report provided a detailed breakdown of assessment results for each SO, including tablesand figures illustrating ratings across courses. It highlighted strengths, identified challenges, andoutlined targeted improvement plans, such as refining course content, enhancing teachingmethods, and incorporating more hands-on activities, analytical problem-solving approaches, andsupplemental sessions. Appendix H presents assessment benchmarks for each SO and

engineers to consider both technological adaptation and social responsibility, thisframework promotes the development of autonomous systems that are safe, efficient, andinclusive on a global scale.The implications of this research extend to engineering education, where insights oninfrastructure, behavioural dynamics, and adaptability could be integrated into engineeringcurricula to prepare students for the complexities of global technology deployment. Throughcase studies, project-based learning, and interdisciplinary coursework, engineering studentscan gain a nuanced understanding of the factors that affect AV deployment success in diversecontexts. By equipping future engineers with the skills to design adaptable technologies, thisresearch aligns

When introducingkey concepts, the professor uses slides to explain definitions and related ideas beforedemonstrating the practical software operations. This teaching approach is highly effective forhearing-abled students, as it allows them to learn the software through hands-on practice whiledeepening their understanding of the concepts.Figure 1: Lecture slides introducing Figure 2: AI generated preview for stu-tolerance on engineering drawing dents understanding toleranceHowever, for hearing-impaired students

emphasizes that identifying unmet clinical needs must includeglobal healthcare settings, not just local communities. Many undergraduate BME programs offerglobal engineering experiences through extracurricular programs and international internships,collaborating with organizations like the International Federation for Medical and BiologicalEngineering [14], Engineering World Health [15], and Engineers Without Borders [16]. Someprograms incorporate capstone projects [17], where students work with clinical partners indeveloping countries. However, these capstones lack direct student immersion in foreignhealthcare settings before solution development. Internships and summer programs allow in-person observation but face high costs, housing challenges

These reflection questions encourage students tosynthesize their learning, draw connections between the concepts and scenarios explored, andcommunicate their understanding in their own words.Figure 10.
