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

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

BME programs, recent work in BME education has highlighted examples of theintegration of ethics as a spine for BME curriculum [21]. Despite the progress for design andethics as curricular “spines” in BME, only a few works in progress exist (e.g., [22]) to considerhow to incorporate health equity across multiple levels of courses within BME curriculum.Combined, the lack of existing models for incorporating health equity into BME curriculumalongside the timely call to action for BME to advance health equity [6] presents an urgentopportunity to expand our understanding of effective practices for integrating health equity intoBME curriculum.We aim to contribute to this gap in literature through sharing insights from a collaborativeautoethnography

Impact of a curriculum and design course redesign on student’s engineering design process knowledgeIntroductionIn 2024, significant changes were implemented in the first-year engineering program at theUniversity of Virginia, leading to a major redesign of courses across the curriculum. Previously,first-year students took two separate courses: one focused on the engineering design process,technical communication, and prototyping, while the other centered on sociotechnical concepts,non-technical communication, and ethics. However, starting in 2024, these courses wereintegrated into a single sequence taught by one instructor to eliminate artificial distinctionsbetween technical and sociotechnical topics.

It may have its uses, but overallI don't like the growing trend of relying on AI for skills that we should be developing ourselvesduring college.
