This work is specifically relevant, asone of the major objectives of the educational process is for students to acquire theoretical andconceptual knowledge [32]. However, the educational imperative for engineering education goesbeyond this objective. Developing technical expertise also requires developing practical skillsthrough hands-on experiences. Instructional labs in engineering help translate conceptualknowledge to practical experiences that reflect real-world scenarios, which engineeringgraduates will encounter during their engineering careers. However, gaps often exist betweenthe skill sets that engineering employers

The course filled an urgent need in the Bioengineeringgraduate curriculum while the design and content of this course empowered participants toachieve the course learning objectives. Through this course, participants developed an increasedmastery of pedagogical theory and practices, including active learning, inclusive teaching, andmore. Further, through the final project, participants solidified their knowledge by applyingcourse content to their own areas of interest. In the future, we plan to evaluate both the efficacy of the course and the longer-term impacts ofcourse participants as graduate TAs within the broader bioengineering community. We

. The authors found that white women, in particular, softened the negative impact ofsexism with white privilege, relying on their race to help them form closer relationships withfaculty. Conversely, undergraduate women of Color found that race served as a barrier torelationship building with professors, which hindered their ability to access career-relatedopportunities. However, the findings of Salazar et al. [11] also indicated that exposure toprofessors of Color facilitated relationships with racially underrepresented students, which thengave these students access to networks that supported their career goals in STEM. Finally, theauthors found that the effects of both racism and sexism were lessened when students wereengaged in research. The

For example, one student noted that: “I was able to learn from my team members how to use screwdrivers and cut wood as I have never worked with these tools before. I even took the time outside of class to get familiar with them, as they are valuable skills that I can use at home and in my career.”ConnectionsAccording to the connections rubric [11] that

An excellent example of this focus within engineeringeducation comes from a study by Jones et al. [47]. The researchers were interested in first-yearengineering differences in self-efficacy expectations, engineering success expectations,engineering identity, engineering values, achievement, and career plans between male andfemale students. An interesting finding was that males had higher expectancy beliefs, includingthose related to self-efficacy than females, but both populations saw losses in their expectancyand value beliefs over the first

Self-efficacycan influence students at the beginning of their studies in selecting their major and at thecompletion of their studies by increasing their perceived career options [6]. Finally, self-efficacyis also associated with better mental health in students, specifically seen in reduced anxietylevels in students with higher self-efficacy [7].Clearly, the beneficial practices and traits associated with self-efficacy indicate it as a desiredcharacteristic in students. However, self-efficacy is not simply a static personal attribute thatshould be selected for in admissions processes. It is, rather, a dynamic quality, the cultivation ofwhich should be a central aim of
