By sharing their stories, the authors were able to situate threads that weaved theirbackgrounds to suggest further refinements for FDPs that could include other minoritized groupsin engineering. Note that due to the narrative nature of this work, sections of the manuscript willbe written in first-person.Literature reviewGiven the limited information known about how Faculty
disproportionate negative health andenvironmental impacts for minoritized groups in the U.S. [1], [2]. The coronavirus pandemic,whose peak in 2020 in particular had a disproportionate effect on Black and Latinx patients,highlighted the inequalities faced by these populations who often had higher exposure to thevirus, more underlying health conditions, and less access to healthcare than their whitecounterparts [3]–[5]. The Black Lives Matter movement and the protests following the murdersof Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Andre Hill, Breonna Taylor, and many others broughtvisibility to targeted, racially motivated killings of Black Americans [6]–[8]. The confluence ofthese events had a profound impact on Black and Brown people in the U.S. and was keenly
teaching strategies implemented by the teaching team providedeffective options in the absence of certain hands-on experiences that are considered critical toengineering capstone design courses. A discussion on these teaching strategies in the contextbeyond the pandemic are considered in the discussion.IntroductionEngineering capstone design courses provide students with a team-based project experience inaddressing an open-ended, real-world, unmet need. In the Engineering Innovation in Health(EIH) capstone design program at the University of Washington (UW), multidisciplinary studentteams design, construct, and test a technical innovation to address a pressing unmet needproposed by a health care professional [1], [2]. During this process, they
