Students’ projects fall into two categories:(1) a service learning type project which must in some way improve the quality of life of othersand involves a minimum of 15 hours of actual service; and (2) a guided, extensive visit of ananimal rescue society farm in which students confront animals typically used in biomedicalresearch projects and reflect on the entire experience.IntroductionBiomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to medicine.It combines expertise in engineering with expertise in medicine and human biology to

The roboticmanufacturing system supports various applications of digital manufacturing by integrating bothtraditional subtractive manufacturing approaches and emerging additive manufacturing ones(e.g., 3D printing) in a novel way. Such a multi‐ functional robotic manufacturing system makesit a perfect platform for students not only to creatively learn and apply all kinds of existingmanufacturing technologies, but also to actively explore new and better solutions formanufacturing problems in their team‐ based interdisciplinary undergraduate research.

As a result, students are much more capable of applying the workplacecommunication skills, learned in the classroom, to their job. 4Although across-the-curriculum applications have met with much success, it is widely noted that“what constitutes an effective communication differs from discipline to discipline and fromprofession to profession.”17 Discipline-relevant content is believed to motivate learners andprovide the contextual use of discipline-specific vocabulary.18 This

The accreditation board for engineering and technology, ABET, defines EDP as theprocess of “devising a system to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints” [1].All students in ABET accredited programs are required to engage in a “major engineering designexperience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and2) is based on the knowledge

. Memes, as culturally relevant andoften humorous artifacts, offer a unique lens into the shared experiences, values, and normswithin the engineering community. The flexibility of memes as a medium allows them topromote a sense of community through shared meanings related to identity, inclusion, language,and cultural symbols [4]. To guide this study, we asked the following research questions: (1)What are the perceptions of students regarding the engineering programs at their university? and(2) How is engineering culture reflected in the meme content that undergraduate students chooseto create and share? To address these questions, we conducted a qualitative content analysis ofover 400 memes submitted by engineering students in a foundational
