collaborate with a knowledge/technology user organization thatcould benefit from the research results.” [9].There is some debate regarding the definition of “knowledge translation” [10] and how it relatesto evidence-based practices [11] but in simple terms, the core questions that must be answeredare: “What is known?” and “What is currently being done?” [12]. These questions lead toseeking a long term plan that guides how research can move from the “bench to bedside” [13],which should be the objective of biomedical engineers assessing user needs when developingany medical technology [14]. The close connection that biomedical engineering has in bridgingthe gap between medicine and technology makes it easy to apply knowledge translation tobiomedical

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Development of a training program for undergraduate students participating in an immersive bioinformatics summer research internship The publication of the first human genome in 2001 transformed biomedical research[1,2]. Since then, an explosion of new sequencing technologies has required engineers andcomputer scientists to invent computational methods to analyze and interpret the ever-growingdata. Now, large-scale biological data encompasses many types of ‘omics’ datasets, includinggenomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes, and each of these new datasets hascreated a new set of analytical

Byfocusing on social or technical needs, we can more easily help students understand the culturalrelevance of their engineering studies, providing opportunities for students to develop identitiesas engineers [4]. To this end, faculty were challenged to create tracks that would rearrangecourses based on the needs that drove the creation of the technology or concepts.

These solutions can have adramatic impact on the ability of people with disabilities to complete coursework and engage incourse-based ADL independently. Incorporation of guest lecturers including therapists,rehabilitation engineers, and people using assistive technology (known as “need-knowers”during the course) in conjunction with design thinking and rapid prototype fabrication led toremoval of two barriers to success identified by students with disabilities.
