The biomedical instrumentation lab course isrequired for all undergraduate bioengineering majors and is a technical elective for several otherengineering majors at a large public land grant university in the Midwest United States. Thecourse content has been challenging for many students. Additionally, some students noted otherchallenges in the lab, e.g., reading labels on parts, lights, and lab bench layout. The goal of thisproject is to reduce these challenges with the content, space, and supplies.In the first phase of the project, the research team used methods from Universal Design forLearning (UDL), human centered design, and entrepreneurial minded learning to evaluate thelaboratory space and course materials and generate

In order to preparefor these changes – as well as to address the equity issues that have plagued CS since its inception– we engaged in a project designed to reimagine content and pathways for high school CSeducation. As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers). These events were designed tocollaboratively seek input for the creation of a series of reports recommending what a CS coursethat satisfies

Thus, complementary education on social justice implications ofcivil engineering may benefit civil engineering education further.We argue that integration of social implications
