our engineering students with an interdisciplinaryexperience, such as by leveraging the talent of students in our world-class Schools of PublicHealth, Business, Medicine and Law. Third, while students are currently trained and encouragedto explore the entrepreneurial aspects and cultural context of their global health tech projects,these aspects often receive less emphasis. The current generation of engineering students areeager to tackle global challenges and positively impact patients’ lives. Therefore, our objectivewas to create a new, experiential course in global health innovation and entrepreneurship wherestudents from various educational levels and schools, specifically the Schools of Engineering(SEAS) and Public Health (PH), will

a broad skillset. Prior to our program’s senior design course, students receive some general training inengineering design during the first and second year required classes, though specialized skillsoften needed are not formally introduced or practiced. In response, efforts are being made todevelop specific skills-building modules and opportunities for students to gain practicalexperience for application to their senior design project, but ultimately to improve the skillset ofgraduating students. These include the development of new hands-on curricular modules and asummer innovation internship, aimed to enhance students’ technical skills, professionaldevelopment skills, and entrepreneurship knowledge.This study is focused on our inaugural
, entrepreneurial thinking canemploy several different people to go from the identification of a need to actualization of a solution to thatneed. Drilling down into entrepreneurship, these concepts include a variety of ‘entrepreneurialengineering identities’ (EEI) that have been described as founder, developer and inventor. [3] Foundersare people who want to create firms/companies based on ideas or social motivations. Developers arepeople who want to take nascent firms/companies further than just initial stages. Finally, inventors arepeople who want to identify and propose solutions to problems. To our knowledge, there is no set pathfrom one identity to another nor is a person consigned to engaging in single identity. Our question is howdo these identities
observations? In 2017, former students participated in thissession to speak about their experiences and offer “tips” for observing in a clinical setting.Additional class sessions focus on appropriate dress, introductions and perfecting an elevatorspeech. One class session includes a walking tour of the Health Science Campus, medical anddental clinics. Later in the semester class sessions include topics on device specification,development and innovation, intellectual property and patents, regulatory requirements,entrepreneurship, marketing, [10,11] and medical ethics relevant to device design. One classperiod per week is used for team presentations and discussion of clinical rotations, projects, etc.Clinical RotationsClinical and laboratory rotations

themes in engineering have focused on sustainability, entrepreneurship, designthinking, internationalization and social justice (Murphy et al., 2009; Tranquillo 2013;Tranquillo 2017; UNESCO 2010). As improved health care intersects all of these trends,biomedical engineers are well suited to take on leadership roles. In parallel, pedagogicaltrends have moved toward design challenges, wicked problems, project-based learningand engagement with live case studies (Blumenfeld et al. 1991; Prince 2004; Omenn2006; Bell, 2010; Beaurey 2010; Mote et al, 2016). Biomedical engineering faculty havein fact led the way in developing many of these learning opportunities (Tranquillo andCavanagh 2009; Gimm 2011; Abby et al., 2013; Dolan 2013).This paper outlines
