translatethat knowledge to new contexts in the future [6]. 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]. By shifting the focus of capstoneto needs observed in clinical rotations, and directly addressing the value of

Forvarious reasons, Hispanic students and students of color in STEM have higher DFW and collegedrop-out rates than their white peers [5]. These disparities are representative of the nationwidetrends [5]. DFW disparity for students of color conflicts with the nation’s urgent need for adiverse and well-prepared STEM workforce.Table 1 shows the average GPA gaps of selected critical path courses at Sacramento Statebetween Fall 2012 and Fall 2022.
