Several institutions in the United States are leveraging biomedical engineeringto impact global health through using human-centered design (Richards-Kortum, Gray, and Oden 2012;Oden et al. 2010; Malkin 2007). While interdisciplinary programs in global health have the potential to yield innovative solutionsfor the SDGs, the learners of engineering design comprise a relatively small pool of students. En-gineering design curricula have traditionally been taught in a capstone course in the final year ofcollege to engineering students (Todd et al. 1995; Zhan et al. 2018), the majority of whom are male(men received approximately 80% of all undergraduate engineering degrees awarded in the US in2

Although we have yet not performed formal assessment measuring howmuch students re-use their work in our capstone course, anecdotal evidence suggests that ourjunior and senior Clinic students have increased their skills and familiarity in the selection anduse of sensors, and in acquiring data using PC-based DAQ systems. The custom data logger ismore representative of data acquisition systems that are used in Clinic (and industry), and modelcalibration using multiple channels of experimental data is a common task in our capstonecourse.

The minor would help studentsdevelop the essential leadership skills necessary in engineering, including project management,working in teams, communication skills, global awareness, green engineering, and professionalethics.11 In 1995 the Plan was crystallized by the proposal for an Engineering LeadershipDevelopment Minor (ELDM) consisting of courses in leadership, organizational and businessskills, entrepreneurship, and a capstone course in science, technology and public policy.12Creativity and innovation, although the original focus of the proposed Minor and

In camp, a team assignment was givenwherein each student identified the core competencies used by IDEO, the methodology followedby IDEO, and potential problems with the final cart design (likely due to the short timeline). Theproblems identified by each team were collected, and using the list, a capstone team project wasassigned wherein the students had to re-design IDEO‟s new shopping cart while using the entirecreative problem solving method.

technicalengineer has also evolved into a “team-player entrepreneur” [3, pp. 2], someone who can provideengineering solutions in a much broader context.Another important facet of educating the modern engineer is exposure to interdisciplinaryexperiences and projects. Like EM, the term interdisciplinary has many varied definitions [9].One common definition of interdisciplinary competency is “a process of answering a question,solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequatelyby a single discipline or profession” [4, pp. 3]. Other descriptions state that “interdisciplinarityhas often been characterized – and implicitly defined – as borrowing; researchers or instructorsborrow concepts, theories, or methods from one
