In revising, we haveadded an Appendix that discusses conditions in April 2025, which represent an abrupt change innational conditions related to DEIJ topics as compared to Fall 2024 when the teaching activitieswere conducted.IntroductionEngineering programs continue to adapt to changing stakeholder demands for better integrationof diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) into both classrooms and curricula. Forexample, ABET’s approved new Criterion 5 will require programs to offer curricula “thatensure[s] awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion for professional practice consistent withthe institution’s mission” [1] (note that this

Progress:Bridging the Gap in Competency Training for Students in AI and GenAI Technologies in the Biotech Industry: Exploring Biodigital Twins Reem Khojah, Alyssa Catherine Taylor, Isgard S. Hueck Bioengineering, University of California San DiegoAbstractBioengineers have long served as a vital bridge between healthcare and technology, adaptinginnovations from interdisciplinary fields to advance patient care and medical solutions. One suchemerging innovation is generative AI (GenAI) (e.g., large language models (LLMs)) [1] , atechnology with significant potential to impact the biotechnology industry [2].
