Incorporating BiomimicryAbstractTo better implement the curiosity aspect of entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML), biomimicrywas adopted in a tissue engineering course project to nourish curiosity. Biomimicry belongs tobioinspired design and has been reported to offer educators a way to engage students withsystems thinking and creative problem-solving, which can potentially inspire student curiosity.Students were required to use natural materials (from plants, insects, etc.) and naturalstructures/mechanisms in tissue-engineered product design to adopt the biomimicry principle. Atthe end of the project, an anonymous survey was conducted to assess the relationship betweenstudent curiosity and project experience. The curiosity-related assessment was based

dynamics that occur at both curricular stages, however, can oftenbe challenging. Student population, course structure, project scope, timeline, and courseworkload are just a few factors that may influence how effective students are as team membersand what strategies instructors may use to promote healthy team dynamics.Previously, the implementation of an equity minded strategy for promoting healthy teamdynamics was explored in an introductory biomedical engineering (BME) course [1]. The use ofasset-based activities throughout the course provided introductory students with a mechanism toshare about their individual assets with their teammates and complete their team-based designproject through the lens of team member assets and interests.

Initial Implementation: • The developed ethical modules and learning exercises were successfully implemented in both courses following the first summer. • The effectiveness of these

This new program was envisioned to prepare upcomingbiomedical engineering undergraduate students for the needs, technology, andopportunities in the industry of at-home remote patient monitoring.The program was created with both academic and industry outcomes in mind. Thisprogram was structured as a semester-long internship with weekly classroom meetings.While in their internship, the students worked shifts in remote monitoring, interacting withpatients and communicating with them. They also work on weekly professional reflectionsto report on their experiences. They attend two seminars throughout the whole experienceon policy, legislation, or any other business requirement.

Despite the presence of promising K-12 programs focused on teaching students innovation andentrepreneurially-minded skills, not enough is being done at the university level. Lack of fundingand trained personnel are plausible reasons.
