By having the students participate in the self-assessment processand reflect on their experiences, each student is able to identify outcomes which have not beenachieved and develop a plan to achieve all ABET outcomes prior to graduation. This proactiveself-assessment prompts students to identify weak points in their education and has the potentialto shape better student outcomes, filling all the ABET student outcomes and preparing studentsto be well-rounded engineers.[12].

At GeorgiaTech, a dedicated course on storytelling in the biomedical engineering curriculum benefittedstudents by facilitating intentional development of identity and self-concept.
