students’ learning of modernengineering skills [2], can enhance engineering design. Human-centered design is a problem-solving approach that uses design thinking tools to identify unmet needs of a population andcollaboratively and iteratively develop meaningful and innovative solutions for that population’sbenefit [3]. The HCD process encompasses five taxonomic spaces; namely, understand,synthesize, ideate, prototype, and implement, each of which are defined by a set ofcharacteristics and processes [4]. It is becoming more common for post-secondary institutions toseek ways to integrate human-centered design methods into their engineering programs [5], [6].Indeed, research studies show that integrating HCD in engineering programs can better

Since medical electronics is one of the fields where BMEs can develop theircareer, it is important that BMEs who wish to move in this direction, graduate with the technicalskills required to develop and test innovations in the form of electronic device prototypes. Thecourse investment used by conventional engineering programs to foster and hone these skills isnot practical in a four-year BME program. It is then necessary to efficiently teach a broadspectrum of electronic concepts with a limited course credit impact, in order to enable BMEs tobecome effective users of electronics technology in the medical field
