Additionally, those who are consideredunderrepresented ethnic minorities (URMs) in engineering account for 23% of the total U.S. population, but onlycomprise of 6% of the engineering workforce [6]. These discrepancies are compounded when an individualbelongs to multiple minority groups, i.e. only 0.6% of Black and 0.4% of Hispanic women are represented in thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce [6].Of the female and URM students who do pursue engineering degrees, many prefer to enroll in certain engineeringmajors more than others.

Through this review, authors determined the key disconnects between what is taught andwhat is required in industry to be 1) goals of communication in the classroom vs. in industry and2) audience of communication assignments. To better address the communication needs ofgraduating engineering students, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) has modified the outcomes for engineering programs to include communication to a widerange of audiences [2]. As a result, engineering programs will need to diversify communicationassignments.Some universities have aimed to reconcile the disconnect between

StudentsIntroductionDuring the past two decades, active learning techniques have received a growing attention ineducational research. Particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, traditional lecturing has indicated a 55% increase in failure rates of undergraduate students,compared to active learning methods [1]. Furthermore, active learning has proven to significantlyenhance students’ examination performance and educational achievements compared to passivelearning [1, 2]. In Biomedical Engineering (BME), active learning can be incorporated throughvarious techniques such as problem- and project-based learning [3]. Such approaches lead studentsto a deeper and more efficient retention of new concepts. Moreover, these methods
