One of the selected courses was, Projects forPeople, and the other was the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) SeniorDesign Capstone course. The courses were chosen because of their focus on applying HCDprotocols, as well as the instructors’ willingness to participate in the project. Also, both of thecourses are required for students enrolled in the Humanitarian Engineering (HE) minor. The HEprogram, home to the HE minor, began at Mines in 2006 with the

Seniors then complete a yearlong capstone sequence in which theypursue a client-mentored project and apply the skills they have developed in the prior courseswithin the curriculum [2]. All projects in the introductory design skills course and the vastmajority of projects in the capstone are client-sponsored, pre-identified problems or need areasthat the client pitched to potential teams, such that students who take these core design coursestypically do not have the opportunity to identify clinical or patient-centered needs as part of thecourse structure.

themes in engineering have focused on sustainability, entrepreneurship, designthinking, internationalization and social justice (Murphy et al., 2009; Tranquillo 2013;Tranquillo 2017; UNESCO 2010). As improved health care intersects all of these trends,biomedical engineers are well suited to take on leadership roles. In parallel, pedagogicaltrends have moved toward design challenges, wicked problems, project-based learningand engagement with live case studies (Blumenfeld et al. 1991; Prince 2004; Omenn2006; Bell, 2010; Beaurey 2010; Mote et al, 2016).

To speed their development, a custom user manual was developedfor the specific set of shields provided for the capstone project. The manual begins by discussinginstallation of the Arduino development environment along with options for powering theArduino board. Next the Grove shield is introduced along with code to read the various sensorsin the kit and light LEDs using the common Arduino commands

The projects selected were a traction systemfor femoral fractures and a manual cast-cutting device. With the curricular modifications, allfirst-year students completed several steps in the engineering design process and createddimensioned drawings as well as low-fidelity prototypes of their design solutions in the PIDS.The final-year capstone design courses in mechanical and electrical engineering have also beentransformed to emphasize prototyping.

The fourthconcept of hazardous chemical substitution has rarely been implemented based on theinstructor’s experience in the senior design courses, since this tends to be more in the purview ofchemical product development rather than chemical process formulation and simulation.
