Traditional engineering training, without greatercontext of healthcare and medical need, social inequity, and understanding of the applications inthe healthcare system, only allows engineers to create technology, which makes iterative stepstoward impact in healthcare. Indeed, many research and industry approaches rely on creatinguseful technology and then finding healthcare or clinical applications for that technology. Thisapproach has had many successes, but uptake in the medical community is slow and adaptation tomeet clinical need is often a barrier to entry into the market [7].

Given the diversefield of biomedical engineering, from imaging modalities to implantable devices toemergent biotechnologies, no singular approach to ethics training will prepare ourstudents to assess their professional obligation to the ethical, social, and legalimplications of their future work.

Recognizing this limitation and building on the foundation that learning is asocial process not solely cognitive [12], there has been a growing interest in diverting fromtraditional based teaching methods and exploring alternative pedagogies that promotecollaboration and critical reflexivity. That said, we intend to analyze the influence of in-personand digital pedagogical interventions to determine how they contribute to the development ofconceptual knowledge of current engineering students when critical reflexivity is considered atthe front and center of the pedagogical approach. Digital interventions leverage technology tocreate interactive educational experiences through online simulations and collaborative tools,fostering virtual learning. In
