The fundamental premise is that with critical thinkingskills, the student will be more prepared to tackle the adjustment to college life and college work.Additionally, in order for students to become truly aware of the engineering profession, theymust understand, recognize and be able to

Biomedicalengineers, who already receive training in biology/physiology and the quantitative sciences, areuniquely poised to learn, apply, and evolve the integrative systems approach, and in so doing,further basic medical discovery and innovate new solutions for human health through appliedresearch and technology development6. But biomedical engineering curricula nationwide have,to date, largely neglected the development of integrative courses that combine experimental andsystems methodologies in a multi-scale fashion (i.e. subcellular, cellular, and tissue-level).While a number of BME undergraduate programs currently offer elective courses inbioinformatics, sequence analysis, and/or mathematical modeling in BME, none to ourknowledge combine “wet-lab” high

narratives, researched and written by students, reveal that the fate of technology, thetechnology we train our students to design, build, and operate, is necessarily linked to the humancondition.

From nanotechnology to drones, the Internet ofThings, robotics, deep sea oil, hydraulic fractioning (fracking), and artificial near-intelligence,there may not be a more critical time in human history to focus on how and what we teach ourengineers and scientists.
