One of the more recent publications shows the Chemistrydepartment at Fairfield University successfully implementing a cloud-based and smartphone-based digital electronic notebook using Evernote software [4]. However, very few articles havebeen found implementing an electronic lab notebook in an engineering undergraduate course.Harvey Mudd College compared paper and electronic notebook usage in their undergraduateexperimental engineering course, which covers multiple engineering disciplines [5].

These questions lead toseeking a long term plan that guides how research can move from the “bench to bedside” [13],which should be the objective of biomedical engineers assessing user needs when developingany medical technology [14].

Byfocusing on social or technical needs, we can more easily help students understand the culturalrelevance of their engineering studies, providing opportunities for students to develop identitiesas engineers [4]. To this end, faculty were challenged to create tracks that would rearrangecourses based on the needs that drove the creation of the technology or concepts.
