after graduation. Further, medical student courses are not opento auditing nor shared with the engineering school. The medical school uses a problem-basedlearning approach in small groups rather than larger science-based lecture courses. To this end, wecreated a new, clinically immersive educational experience to expose engineering students to theirmedical counterparts' clinical settings, culture, and education experiences. The new curriculumexposes engineering students to the clinical healthcare environment, and the process of diseasediagnosis and management of human patients. This will fill a critical educational gap for inspiringengineering students toward translational medical research, entrepreneurialism, and healthcare [2].Conceptions of

Despite the presence of promising K-12 programs focused on teaching students innovation andentrepreneurially-minded skills, not enough is being done at the university level. Lack of fundingand trained personnel are plausible reasons. STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics) programs have shown promise in improved student learning and skills associated with
challenges. A fundamental aspect of this preparation lies in programming proficiency,which serves as a vital tool for analyzing data, simulating systems, and developing solutionsacross various biomedical engineering domains [1]. Much discussion has been had aroundwhich programming language best prepares students for success in the biomedical engineeringworkforce.In recent years, the programming landscape within BME education has witnessed a shift,mirroring broader trends in the medical technology and biotechnology industry [2].. MATLAB,long regarded as a staple in biomedical engineering classrooms for its robust numericalcomputation capabilities and user-friendly interface, has begun to share the spotlight withPython, a versatile and increasingly

This approach engages medicine, engineering, and business in a curriculum thatchallenges participants to identify (needs finding and screening), invent (concept generation andscreening), and implement (strategy development and business planning) [10].

By prioritizing equitable participation and partnering with institutionalsupport, we utilize the very strategies for success that we encourage for our students.References: 1. P Bhattacharya (2008).

Each session necessitated extended activity timeand some simplification of technology to facilitate in-class discussion more rapidly.During summer 2024, we plan to prepare a new consensus standard revision (Module 3)approach using an activity-based round-robin testing methodology. Round-robin testing asksstakeholders to each conduct a protocol for the evaluation of a standard and to collaborativelydiscuss discrepancy among findings in the revision of the standard.
