Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering Education
  • Medical Device Design
  • Undergraduate Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Immersion experiences are vital for biomedical engineering students to identify medical needs.
  • Few programs offer these crucial opportunities, despite NIH support for team-based design since 2010.
  • Existing programs provide valuable precedents for implementing and improving immersion experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss two institutions that recently established biomedical engineering immersion programs.
  • To identify core features and compare outcomes of these new immersion programs.
  • To offer insights for newly funded groups developing similar programs.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of two recently established biomedical engineering immersion programs.
  • Identification of overlapping core features across both programs.
  • Assessment of student self-reported gains in design process knowledge and confidence.

Main Results:

  • Five overlapping core features were identified: partner collaboration, team-based experiences, needs-finding, engineering design, and assessment.
  • Both programs partnered with medical schools; one also partnered with a community resource.
  • Students reported increased knowledge/confidence in identifying user needs and concept generation.

Conclusions:

  • Immersion partner collaboration is a key feature for successful programs.
  • Students in both programs demonstrated enhanced knowledge and confidence in engineering design.
  • Unique program aspects led to specific student gains (e.g., disability topics, socioeconomic awareness).
