Engaged Curriculum Grants

Biomedical Engineering Engaged Learning Experience

A new structure to make engaged-learning experiences a required and integrated part of the biomedical engineering major.

Engineers are problem solvers — creative thinkers poised to help solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges. And today’s world requires engineers who are thoughtful about societal and community impact. To this end, faculty are developing a structure to make community-engaged learning experiences a required and integrated part of the biomedical engineering curriculum — giving students hands-on experiences that bolster both their understanding of engineering concepts and the soft skills critical for real-world engineering. Students can choose to work with the community partner most aligned with their interests; the list of partners is currently focused on educating the public and younger students about STEM fields.

Grant type: Development
