Informalcommunity-building and relationships with faculty and staff help students develop a sense ofbelonging in college (Myers et al., 2015). Additionally, students should be encouraged tointegrate their outside lives with academics. Community involvement in research projects canhelp engage students in problem-solving (Loeser et al., 2021).

Engineers bynature design, create, and construct solutions for the human population. Providing a functional project orproduct is critical; yet designs also need to be safe. An example of safe design thinking is the Samsung Note7 issue from 2016 that worked until it was taken on flights and then started to catch fire. Scenarios such asthis, raise the question regarding how we develop students to both be aware of safe practices, but moreimportantly, gain a desire for life-long learning about health and
