We advocate for clearer framing that supports the demystification of AI and a wider under- standing of its implications to society.

It is therefore a learning goal in high-level engineering courses as a preparatory skill for thework force. Accordingly, instructors use a myriad of communication tools such as final projects,lab reports, and poster pitches as deliverables in their courses [1]. These approaches not only testrecall, understanding, and application of course material, but also help students analyze andevaluate data and/or primary literature [2]. Indeed, ABET guidelines require that BiomedicalEngineering curricula must include “Making measurements on and interpreting data from
