final solution concept. In addition, they were less able to showany optimization of their initial prototype to create and test a final prototype, as well as, be ableto place their designs into a larger context, such as global, regulatory, ethical, etc. This reportcannot show that these concepts were not considered by the teams, just that they were notreported in the final design documents. Emphasis of reporting these concepts in the documentscould be a relatively easy fix if this were the issue.The data presented also represent an average scoring across SD design documents from alldepartments. Not all teams created a device that could be improved through iteration or haddifferent components that could be tested and thus were considered more

andTranquillo, 2014).Values Thinking and Live Case StudiesValues Thinking derives from the ethical dimensions of over-consumption and theinequitable distribution of resources, but extends beyond these considerations. Anabbreviate list of elements of value thinking are: • Considering how various views, values and cultures have been constructed from past choices and preconceived value-based beliefs (Rawls, 1985). • Recognizing major human conflicts as arising from conflicting worldviews, unequal resource allocation and historical biases (Ostrom, 1990). • Positioning value-based tensions between stakeholders in ethical terms. • Finding mechanisms to be more inclusive and equitable across stakeholders to reduce bias

learning and development [1]. Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering

that includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and ethically-sound application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians, provide more effectivehealth services and products, and strengthen the health care system.” [1]. Knowledge translationis emphasized in health care especially because: 1) there are high costs associated with longtemporal lags and 2) there are large gaps between new research and clinical practice which leadto an inefficient use of limited health care resources [2–4]. This area of scholarship has advancedto the stage where there are journals (e.g., Implementation Science) dedicated to addressing theseconcerns specifically. In practice, knowledge translation can be applied to the initial design ofresearch protocols [5

Healthcare saw thegreatest changes in terms of model content since medical schooling programs requiresignificantly different skillets and have different expectations when compared to applying forengineering positions. Additions included medical ethics, medical clinical work, inclusion ofadmissions test scores, as well as a focus on patient treatment and care experience. All changeswere made after

of studentdesign reports indicate that design achievement and ability to communicate design improve asstudents complete additional projects. By implementing and assessing hands-on engineeringdesign project assignments at the sophomore and junior levels, we have improved student designknowledge, confidence, and achievement prior to capstone design.IntroductionAn undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum should prepare students toapproach complex problems confidently. To achieve this, BME programs can offer curricula thathelp students develop into technically adept engineers, effective communicators, and skilleddesigners that account for social, economic, and ethical responsibilities.
