The Minor will be highly informed by best practices for user-centered design,introducing opportunities for self-reflection, trial and error, and action-taking through a student-centered project-based learning approach that recognizes that students are in transition toadulthood. A robust stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to align activities withgoals, involving three undergraduate mentors per year as co-designers and co-facilitators.Although the Minor will be open to all students with basic qualifications, unlike traditional minorsthat require

Each engineering team mustinclude at least one medical student from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Themedical student joined the team through the Sling Health Network, a national student organizationfor medical innovation. Students were expected to learn through practice to translate customerrequirements to engineering specifications and effectively communicate with non-engineers ontechnical issues. The third unique aspect of this elective was that it required students to manage the problemtopic selection phase. To aid in the stimulation for self-motivation

been shown to help students prepare for further studiesand jobs. There are many forms of undergraduate research experiences, but a common method is for astudent to work closely with a teacher in research. Students often find these hands-on experiences veryuseful and learn to work in teams, manage projects, and communication skills. In the scope of thiswork-in-progress study, our program, originally rooted in engineering, now draws one-quarter of itsstudents from departments outside the College of Engineering. The program objective is to offer studentsearly in their programs hands-on project experiences and enhance their collaboration skills across diversedisciplines and projects.
