A typical student in our program hasfinished first-year design, mass and energy balance, computer-assisted design, and circuits togain eligibility for our program. Through our clinical immersion program, we aim to preparestudents to 1) identify unmet needs in clinical settings and contemporary surgery ORs and 2)propose innovative bioengineering solutions, ranging from the engineering of biomaterials tobiomedical devices, to address these needs. The deliverables of our clinical immersionexperience include a final presentation and report about a student’s original solution to an unmetclinical need they identified. The

DEI in engineering has shifted from focusing on individuals’needs to prioritizing systemic and cultural changes [3]. Despite numerous initiatives and fundingopportunities, systemic change remains elusive, often hindered by entrenched barriers withininstitutional structures and cultures, and may face challenges in the execution andimplementation of planned interventions.To better understand the obstacles to systemic change, this case study examines theimplementation of a multi-campus systemic change initiative undertaken by four California StateUniversity campuses (Fresno State, Cal Poly SLO, San Jose State University (SJSU), and CalState LA) titled ‘Kindling Inter-university Networks for Diverse Engineering FacultyAdvancement (KIND) [4].

They often overlook the complex, context-dependent factors that influence teachingpractices. Contemporary research increasingly challenges these linear models, suggesting thateducational transformation is a more dynamic and iterative process influenced by individualagency, institutional structures, and broader contextual constraints.2.5 Intersection of Mentorship and Instructional PracticesReflection is a key mechanism in pedagogical development, particularly in STEM highereducation.

Professional engineers work in teams on a regular basis, and ABET recognizesthat teamwork is an essential component of engineering education.Teamwork skills, however, are notoriously difficult to both acquire and teach [2]. Many studentsdetest mandatory teamwork in class, noting instances when they have had to do “all” of thework. Many teachers also decry assigning teamwork in the classroom, generally because of thestudent complaints. Within ASEE, Felder and
