c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 WIP: Direct incorporation of research articles into undergraduate biomedical engineering courses to contextualize complex topicsAbstract. This work-in-progress paper presents our introduction of a journal club activitydirectly into undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) courses. This activity is aimed atcontextualizing complex topics in BME through peer-reviewed articles. Our journal club activityis composed of a written assignment focused on summarizing and evaluating the assigned articleand an in-class discussion of the article. In this paper, we present how we structured the writtenassignment and classroom discussion. Additionally, a skill that we aimed to develop in

Another rationale for linking with the Discovery program specifically, was toaddress the desire to add new topics for outreach activities and to encourage graduate students tobecome engaged with opportunities for professional development.Regarding the project, the most common questions were related to which stakeholder/audiencethe team should target and what they were expected to do exactly.

The student teams, which are typically made of 3-4 students, could have membersfrom any of the engineering disciplines. The SD project topics tended to have a focus in one ofthe engineering disciplines, for example Bioengineering, but could have elements of otherdisciplines. The projects by discipline were 11 Bioengineering (BE), 15 Civil Engineering (CE),8 Electrical/Computer Engineering (ECE), and 22 Mechanical Engineering (ME).

The program-specific criteriadifferentiate BME and bioengineering from other engineering degree programs and are requiredof all ABET accredited BME or bioengineering programs. Accordingly, they have also beenused to inform suggestions of core BME content [5], [9], [18].
