challenges.Sponsored projects can sometimes overwhelm students or be incorrectly scoped for the timeavailable. Additionally, some of these projects’ scopes intersect with other fields of expertiseand require students to learn content beyond their training. Another challenge with sponsoredprojects is balancing the student’s learning outcomes with the expectation of a deliverable.Often, sponsors conclude their collaborations if they perceive that little or no progress has beenmade on their project. With or without sponsors, the idea of capstone courses is still sharedacross all programs; capstone represents the culmination of students’ academic learning..This work presents a novel approach to restructuring capstone teams to address the challengesof working on

authors respond tothe following research question:Q1. What are the students’ perceptions of participating in a multi-disciplinary project experiencethat involves EM, arts, and bio-inspired design?Literature ReviewThe disconnect between engineering education and the workplace has been a topic of conversationfor the last couple of decades [7-9]. The recent globalization due to the internet age has made non-technical professional skills, such as communication and collaboration, a must in the engineeringworkforce [10, 11]. In a rapidly advancing world, the working expectations of engineers are notlimited to routine technical tasks, but instead, today engineers must be able to innovate and comeup with solutions to complex problems and see them through

These programs are variable depending on theresources of the University: some programs have developed summer internships to provide aclinical immersion experience, while others have sought to bring the immersion during a moreconventional classroom setting [6]. Literature has reported that these programs which provideeffective immersion experiences result in an increase in students’ self-reported knowledge andskills, in addition to general confidence. These experiences often extend beyond needsidentification, as students connect with potential users and witness the community impact.

experiences were developed and introduced inthe early 2010s. The purpose of these experiences is to immerse students in clinicalenvironments for the observation, documentation, and identification of clinical needs through auser-centered design process, which is essential to the design of impactful and long-lastingsolutions [2, 3]. Clinical immersion content and implementation differs between programs, butgenerally occurs through short-term, structured programs or individual courses [4-8, 15]. At theUniversity of Illinois at Chicago, we developed a six-week summer clinical immersion program(CIP) for rising-senior BME students [9], and later, for interdisciplinary teams of medical andBME students [10]. However, many clinical immersion experiences

biomedical engineering curricula in universities across the UnitedStates [5]. For example, programs like Johns Hopkins University’s two week long clinicalobservation program for undergraduates [6] and the authors’ institution’s unique two semesterlong Engineering in Surgery and Intervention Course for graduate students [7] attempt toincorporate a clinically immersive aspect to the traditional biomedical engineering corecurriculum. Through the use of grades, survey data, reflections and other measures, theseprograms show promising improvements to students’ abilities to understand and identify clinicaland surgical needs as biomedical engineers. However, few testable instruments exist that can beused across different programs to assess their efficacy

Students are encouraged to balancethe inherent challenges of failure with the pursuit of truth, laying the foundation for a humbleand resilient ethical mindset. Year 2 amplifies the journey with curiosity, urging students toexplore the origins of materials and contemplate the consequences of their use, irrespective ofutility.

It also requires a lot ofinfrastructure and materials to develop a good TE design course [9]. Design is a large part of engineering, and we need more of it. We need to teach studentshow to critically think through the design process. Engineering design is a systematic, imaginative,and progressive approach to problem-solving. The steps involved in the design process areproblem identification, idea generation, model development, and redesign.

Engagement with community partners as part of an engineering designcourse has been described as a way to enhance empathy and students’ interpersonal interactions[25]. Moreover, application scenarios via role play have been shown to be valuable for improvingempathetic communication [26]. Role play can allow students to take on worldviews that may bedistinct from their own through consideration of alternative perspectives while craftingempathetic and non-empathetic responses.Other scholars have described
