We discover why scientists and engineers must practiceinclusive design and think broadly about the impact of their work on diverse populations,including ethical implications, potential inequities in access, and bias againstunderrepresented people.By the end of the course, students should be able to: 1. Identify how cultural concepts of race, gender, sexuality, and disability have shaped scientific thought and engineering practice (and vice versa) through history. 2. Conduct self-directed

] and health science funding agencies are placing a greater emphasis oncreating knowledge translation plans in grant applications [6–8]. One of the main reasons thatresearchers in biomedical engineering must begin addressing knowledge translation (at least inCanada) is that collaborative health research projects funded through the Natural Sciences andEngineering Research Council (NSERC) and CIHR that focus on interdisciplinary researchbetween engineering and any field of health science must submit applications that have: “… astrong focus on knowledge translation, and lead to health benefits for Canadians, more effectivehealth services and/or economic development in health-related areas [and] all applicant teamsare required to engage and

Capstone design projects areubiquitous in engineering education, aimed at promoting practical and real-world projects duringan undergraduate’s education [7], [8]. The pairing of this shadowing experience with CapstoneDesign is expected to increase student engagement and satisfaction; supported by results fromprevious clinical immersions

These results differ from Li et al., who stated that having close entrepreneurial relatives waspositively aligned with increases in entrepreneurial mindset. However, their definition of entrepreneurialmindset encompassed all of our EEI. There seems to be a movement of student interest from ‘inventor’ to‘developer’ in general as students work through innovative, open-ended projects, such as senior capstoneor our introductory bioengineering final project. Students who identified as having previousentrepreneurial experience demonstrated a greater affinity for ‘founder’ and ‘developer’ than studentswho did not claim this experience. The previous

The objective of thiscurriculum is to provide students with a toolkit of important BME skills to make themcompetitive for industry careers as well as graduate school. An emphasis on design and project-based learning will help our students develop their communication skills, critical thinking, andtheir ability to work in teams.

A Lean Startup model includes quickly brainstormingsolutions, building prototypes, taking measurements, and learning what did and didn’t work forfuture project iterations. This model works by making ideas into products quickly and efficiently[6].

In response, efforts are being made todevelop specific skills-building modules and opportunities for students to gain practicalexperience for application to their senior design project, but ultimately to improve the skillset ofgraduating students.

of topics such as regulatory affairs [1] and engineeringstandards [2]. Although the combination of technical and “soft skills” can be an importantdistinguishing characteristic of biomedical engineers in industry, it is challenging to effectivelyteach students professional topics in an undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum thatalso attempts to cover the breadth of engineering and life science topics that is the hallmark ofthe discipline.Recognizing the importance of professional topics, students are often required to implementthem in their culminating capstone design project. A common approach is to teach the topics inthe capstone design courses themselves, often by providing didactic sessions covering each topicjust before students
