The summative external evaluation examined the impact of the Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) project on undergraduate students, faculty, and industry engagement across multiple semesters. The project aimed to provide students with hands-on learning experiences in a simulated healthcare environment, establish a sustainable pipeline of skilled biomedical engineering technicians, and expand educational and career pathways aligned with workforce needs.

Across 13 semesters, 711 undergraduate students participated in the BMET program. Analysis of course grades and success rates indicated strong academic outcomes, with most semesters achieving success rates of 80% or higher and a peak of 95.5% in spring 2017. In total, the program engaged 1,749 stakeholders through a range of activities, including events for college students and faculty as well as outreach to high school and middle school students, faculty, and counselors.

Faculty engagement was substantial. In 2018, 61 college faculty participated in conferences, roundtables, or advisory board meetings. Between 2017 and 2019, the program hosted 27 events, developed 14 micro-credentials, and awarded 39 micro-credential badges to students. Enrollment increased among veteran and women students. Industry partner data indicated that students demonstrated strong workforce readiness, particularly in conducting standard tests and analyzing and interpreting technical data.
