of a technology. Several institutions in the United States are leveraging biomedical engineeringto impact global health through using human-centered design (Richards-Kortum, Gray, and Oden 2012;Oden et al. 2010; Malkin 2007). While interdisciplinary programs in global health have the potential to yield innovative solutionsfor the SDGs, the learners of engineering design comprise a relatively small pool of students. En-gineering design curricula have traditionally been taught in a capstone course in the final year ofcollege to engineering students (Todd et al. 1995; Zhan et al. 2018), the majority of whom are male(men received approximately 80% of all undergraduate engineering degrees awarded in the US in2

Non-MCEN corecourses were excluded because they are managed by other departments and are therefore largelyoutside the current initiative’s realm of influence.

Thisimplies that they all need to be explicitly considered.This should be approached systematically; otherwise, one of these factors will be missed.The consideration of public health, safety and welfare are covered for most civilengineering design projects through the use of codes that govern a design. Codes andstandards were developed solely for that purpose.The most straight-forward approach is to require students to separately describe theglobal, cultural, social, environmental and economic considerations as a graded part oftheir design submission. It might be helpful for the instructor to preface the assignmentwith some examples of these considerations on a

might be all but one. In this method,students can also choose to work towards the grade they want in order to spend their timeelsewhere (Nilson, 2015). Another instructor might use a mix of traditional grading and pass/failgrading. For example, to earn an A in a course, a student may have to receive an average examscore of 80%. The instructor can also set bars for specific grade levels such as a C resulting fromfailing a peer evaluation. In all of these systems, missing one element on the overall gradechecklist results in a lower grade.As all elements become pass or fail, the specifications for an assignment must be made veryclear.

Research suggests that whenstudents are supported to make consequential decisions, they feel a greater sense of ownershipover their work [19, 20]. Framing agency, therefore, can serve as a lens into whether students arelearning to negotiate the process of framing design problems. In our past work, we found thatstudents’ talk in their design teams was indicative of whether they treated the problems asframed for them and not open to reframing, or as problems they themselves needed to frame [18,21].MethodsResearch designIn order to meet our research aims, we first conducted discourse analysis and then explored
