provide students with the mindset and skillset tocreate personal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work. Here, wedescribe our global strategy to create a learning continuum, so students retain fundamentalprinciples and have context to strengthen their knowledge as they progress. We have utilized athree-phase process involving curriculum evaluation, faculty recruitment, and moduledevelopment and implementation, while planning for a fourth phase, assessment. We haveevaluated the undergraduate, Bioengineering curriculum in its entirety, identifying the areas wherethe three concepts from the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN)(www.engineeringunleashed.com) – curiosity, connections, creating value – could

Biomedical Engineering CurriculumAbstractHands-on design projects are widely used in engineering curricula to improve hardware/softwareskills, develop design mindsets, and tie real-world problems to engineering curricula with an eyetoward increased student engagement and retention. In Fall 2018, Kansas State University (KSU)accepted its first cadre of incoming freshmen into a new Biomedical Engineering (BME) degreeprogram. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of the program’s design courses, which will beoffered annually to students of various ages beginning in Fall 2020, the authors performed asearch of recent engineering education literature related to the inclusion of design projects inundergraduate BME curricula, focusing on (a) projects
