Each session necessitated extended activity timeand some simplification of technology to facilitate in-class discussion more rapidly.During summer 2024, we plan to prepare a new consensus standard revision (Module 3)approach using an activity-based round-robin testing methodology. Round-robin testing asksstakeholders to each conduct a protocol for the evaluation of a standard and to collaborativelydiscuss discrepancy among findings in the revision of the standard. Round-robin testing hasbeen used extensively across numerous disciplines and for varied testing purposes such as

Betweenthe core curriculum, track electives, and extracurricular experiences, different students may havesignificantly different experience, perspectives, and preparedness for certain types of projects bythe time they enroll in senior design [4,17]. While an argument can be made that acquiring newskills can be a valuable learning experience, there is also plenty of evidence to show that moremeaningful learning happens when students are guided and given support when learning newskills [2,3,5,9,18].

Approach toExploring Health Equity in Biomedical Engineering SolutionsIntroductionMotivation: Health equity entails reducing health disparities to provide all people an equally highstandard of health [1]. Biomedical Engineering (BME), with further emphasis on health equitythroughout the design process, is well-positioned to produce medical innovations that improvehealth and address inequities. Specifically, medical innovators and educators are called to includeconsideration of health care access at all stages of design [2]. As such, BME educators have begunto identify ways to integrate health equity throughout undergraduate curricula ([3], [4]).

in writing scientific manuscripts are being developed [1-2], but its use as an instructional aid for teaching scientific writing is less understood [3]. Forbiomedical engineering (BME), technical writing is particularly important: they need to masterboth engineering and scientific approaches to written communication across multiple formats tovarious audiences. We have previously developed evidence-based technical writing modules,tailored to BME students, and vertically integrated them throughout our core curriculum [4].These modules were developed before widespread AI availability. To develop guidelines oninstructional AI use, we first need to understand students’ 1) perception on its utility and ethicaluse and 2) prior and current use of AI

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the

Engineering curriculums typically well-incorporate fundamentalinstruction through required introductory applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, computerscience, and engineering design coursework. However, exposure to multiple disciplines is oftenoverlooked in the process of developing engineering curriculums [3-5]. Given that majorselection is typically done in students’ first and second years [6-11], sufficient exposure toresearch, career/internship, alumni/professional experiences, and ethical/social insights isespecially important early in college. This will enable students to better choose majors/careersthat align with their interests and aptitudes [12-13]. Engineers stand to acquire many benefitsfrom an interdisciplinary
