We have found “traditional” pathways using the BME degree toinclude: full-time employment in biotechnology and medical device technology, enrollment inSTEM graduate programs, and enrollment in health profession programs (medical, dental,pharmacy, optometry). The AAES model lacks the robustness needed for use as a guidance toolin biomedical engineering since

]. Additionally, this strong interest inbiomaterials is reflected economically. In 2019, the global market for biomaterials was estimatedto be worth $106.5 billion, and revenues from biomaterials are projected to increase to $348.4billion by 2027 [5]. To ensure these societal and economic demands for novel biomaterials aremet, we must prioritize educating diverse students about designing, engineering, and testingbiomaterials [6], [7].One way to meet this goal is through K-12 outreach. Outreach is an important activity forincreasing the number of students studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) at the university level [8], [9]. This is especially important for increasing therepresentation of individuals who are traditionally

knowledge, little research is conducted on understanding the essential cognitive constructsand competencies that form generative design thinking. For example, CT may not be consideredimportant for TDT, but it is indispensable to generative designers because they need to think abouthow a design problem can be encoded to computer language and solved by algorithms. We believethat a good generative designer should not only grasp design technology and techniques but alsohave certain cognitive competencies, both of which contribute to the formation of GDT.
