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
