Courses containing these principles were concepts are clustered within the engineering and business disciplines, with few outliers in among other majors such as agriculture and nursing.</span>

<span style="font-size: small;">One such course, involving students of from nursing and chemical engineering (open to biomolecular concentration as well as general chemical engineering students), is called [https://www.tntech.edu/news/releases/nursing,-engineering-students-collaborate-on-health-care-problems Clinical Immersion at Interdisciplinary Interfaces] and was piloted during the Fall 2015 Semester. This course taught teaches students to apply field experience/observation and personal interviews to a process very similar to the design thinking process called the [http://eecs.vanderbilt.edu/courses/ee235/STAR_Legacy_model.htm Legacy cycle]. Then students used Students then use this creative process to generate innovative solutions to problems noted during clinical experiences in the hospital and/or identified by health care workers (mostly staff nurses). One solution presented at the end of the course included plans and theoretical proof of concept for a non-lead [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1O6338JsdW6i947bSGWkvvVF9RupCshBwd_pyG-UXELo/edit?usp=sharing radiation-shielding sterile drape] which would be reusable, sterilizable, light-weight , and flexible.</span>
