Each 4-week unit consisted offour key topics: needs identification, design requirements, regulatory, and ethics. The coursefocused on understanding these existing devices and their limitations, not on designing a newdevice. To scale up the needs-finding benefits of traditional clinical immersion courses whileavoiding some of the restrictions [5]-[7], students accessed the voice of the customer (VoC)through pre-recorded video interviews conducted by the instructor. Each unit included 4-5 VoCinterviews with medical device users and clinicians, which

disciplines [2]. Engineering curriculums typically well-incorporate fundamentalinstruction through required introductory applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, computerscience, and engineering design coursework. However, exposure to multiple disciplines is oftenoverlooked in the process of developing engineering curriculums [3-5]. Given that majorselection is typically done in students’ first and second years [6-11], sufficient exposure toresearch, career/internship, alumni/professional experiences, and ethical/social insights isespecially important early in college. This will enable students to better choose majors/careersthat align with their interests and aptitudes [12-13]. Engineers stand to acquire many benefitsfrom an interdisciplinary

By engaging in self-reflection and critical dialogue, engineers can better recognize thesocial implications of their work, identify potential sources of bias or discrimination, and strivetowards more ethical and socially responsible solutions. Critical reflexivity, thus, encouragescollaboration and interdisciplinary engagement, inviting engineering students to consider diverseperspectives and alternative approaches to problem-solving.Pilot Study The initial step in this pilot study entailed selecting a tissue mechanics course that is partof an undergraduate biomedical engineering program.
