University (ASU) has integrated these skills intothe various courses within the engineering curriculum. However, recent assessments of theCapstone Design Course indicate that seniors need even more opportunities to gain these skills.In addition, the Dean of the Engineering School directed departments to have a course primarilyfocused on engineering business practices such as ethics, finance, and entrepreneurship. As aresult, MAE has created a new senior-level course called “The Engineering Profession”.This paper (1) discusses course development, (2) summarizes the course content, (3) describesinitial implementation results, and (4) makes recommendations for course improvement.Initial Course PlanningPrevious and current department vice-chairs began

Conversely, some BME departments cover bioinstrumentationthrough a measurements principles course, neglecting the underlying circuit principles. Thisapproach teaches students how to use measurement devices, but misses an opportunity to exposestudents to the operating principles of these measurement devices and engineering analysistechniques such as system modeling and time and frequency domain analysis. To incorporate EE principles into a BME curriculum, the Weldon School of BiomedicalEngineering has developed a novel, one semester bioinstrumentation laboratory course

When instructors directly embed data science into disciplinary contentrather than treating it as an add-on to an already full curriculum, the integration is more likely topersist as a permanent course component. While emphasizing instructor autonomy, we found that certain structural elementsremained essential for successful integration. These included establishing common definitionsfor learning objectives and outcomes through consensus agreement, developing accurateassessments, and maintaining a shared framework for module development ([10], [11]).

In addition, project topics were not finalized when the course was first advertisedthrough email. However, this did not seem to affect registration as students were minimallysolicited to sign-up for the pilot course experience. Once students were registered, they did notdrop the course during drop add or during any other period for the semester.Projects and Developing PartnersThe initial idea of the course was to have industry partners that were willing to work with studentsand mentor them throughout
