Over three-quarters of the total themes for biomedicalengineering are focused on intellectual merits despite the clear linkage for most biomedicalresearch to impact the lives or well-being of whole groups of people. One reason for thisdiscrepancy may be that they felt like the broader impact to affect humans was so obvious theyneed not discuss it explicitly within the paragraphs that discuss explicit impacts of the projects.Another alternative explanation is a potential need to maintain engineering “rigor,”understanding that human-centered research may be considered outside the typical

States invested wisely in research-oriented graduate education and has become preeminent in basic university research that advances science and benefits the scientific workforce for discovery. But a parallel investment and balanced emphasis has not been made in professional graduate engineering education during this same time frame to support the continued development of the U.S. engineering workforce in industry for technology development and innovation. One-size in graduate education doesn’t fit all. Excellence in basic research and in the practice of engineering for world-class technology development and innovation are two very different pursuits.
