educational experience, in a clinicalenvironment, to improve student learning. Our objectives were to provide undergraduateengineering students with an understanding and appreciation of the needs and uses of technologyin healthcare and to foster innovation in medical technology. The “Special Topics in EngineeringBiomedical Innovation” course serves as an engineering technical elective, targeted to junior andsenior undergraduates. The course was first offered in spring 2016 and includes a didacticcomponent, observation component and team based project. Students receive instruction inobservation techniques, clinical environments, professional behavior, entrepreneurship,technology transfer, and intellectual property. Clinic rotations focus on
applied behavioral science with a scope of practice that includesscreening, assessment, treatment, and technology/instrumentation related to the areas of fluency,speech production, language, cognition, voice, resonance, feeding and swallowing, and auditoryhabilitation/rehabilitation [1]. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) receive hundreds of hours ofclinical training involving direct patient care. SLPs are keenly aware of the many ways thattechnology can be applied to improve outcomes for patients with speech, language, voice, andswallowing problems. Their training however does not provide the technical knowledge andexperiences to design and implement technologies to support their clinical practice and patients.In contrast, engineering students

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
lead to increased popularity in the tracks.Challenging Traditional TracksTraditional engineering tracks are structured around scientific or mathematical concepts (e.g.,signals and systems, biomechanics) or technologies (e.g., imaging, prosthetics), Figure 4. 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.

The high school students communicated directly with the child and hisparents and set their own project deadlines, with the idea that this would create a greater sense ofaccountability than the average school assignment.
