With the emerging need for multidisciplinary teams, non-technical design constraints, and the ethical implications of engineering projects, it has become evident that engineers must understand and consider the larger context of their work and have the knowledge and attitudes necessary to foresee the potential impact of their work on society and the natural environment.1 Achieving this important goal begins with the way we educate our students. The question is how can we go about doing this? The authors of this paper found useful insights into this question from an unlikely source – a graduate program

Other fields, where remote work ismore available (i.e., information systems/information technology), had successfully adaptedtraditional internships to a remote format [12], [13]. Several engineering disciplines, includingbiomedical engineering, have also offered virtual internships, mainly focusing on engineeringdesign [14]–[16]. For example, one faculty team employed a simulation of the experience thatstudents might have at engineering company, designing hemodialysis membranes and roboticlegs, to allow educators to assess key aspects of engineering thinking [14].
