Approach toExploring Health Equity in Biomedical Engineering SolutionsIntroductionMotivation: Health equity entails reducing health disparities to provide all people an equally highstandard of health [1]. Biomedical Engineering (BME), with further emphasis on health equitythroughout the design process, is well-positioned to produce medical innovations that improvehealth and address inequities. Specifically, medical innovators and educators are called to includeconsideration of health care access at all stages of design [2]. As such, BME educators have begunto identify ways to integrate health equity throughout undergraduate curricula ([3], [4]). Outliningbroad integration of health disparity modules within core courses may impel programs to

Engineering educators havebeen reminded of the need to strengthen this aspect of the curriculum in numerous studies and bythe very standards that are used to accredit our programs. For design education to be effective,design tools must be introduced early in the curriculum, reinforced in fundamentals courses, anddemonstrated in capstone projects.1At the U.S. Coast Guard Academy the sophomore level course Introduction to MechanicalEngineering Design has been developed to provide students with an initial introduction tofundamental topics that will be applied in their upper-division courses.

As the course was adapted to provide an integrated rather than sequential coverage ofthe first and second laws and was adjusted to fit into an engineering curriculum being redesignedto meet the ABET criteria for general engineering, we thought it was important to be moreintentional about integrating the objectives underlying ABET criterion 3 g, and h into appropriateengineering courses. Thermodynamics seemed a logical place to attempt this, particularly withrespect to the second law.
