Students tend to enjoy REU programs and find them valuable inhelping direct their future plans, often including graduate school and further research [12], [13].Recent research argues for developing an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) in engineering students[14], [15], suggesting that it is crucial that BME programs, including research experiences,emphasize EM competencies [16], [17].

In the mid-1980s, Ajzen extended the TRA’sapplicability with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) [25], [26], [27], incorporatingperceived outcome control and other behavioral models [28], [29], [30].

stratification of China’s higher educationsystem is the differentiation between elite and non-elite universities. Elite universities aregenerally sponsored and administered by the Ministry of Education (MoE) or the centralgovernment, while non-elite universities are under the provincial or municipal level ofadministration. The premier status of Chinese elite universities can be best illustrated bythe Double First-Class University (DFCU) Plan[9]. ‘Double’ refers to both university anddiscipline. ‘First-Class’ refers to the objective of reaching the WCU standard. In 2022,there are 301,3 universities in China with only 147 of them (around 4.5%) being includedin the DFCU Plan[10].Thus, the elite universities in this study referred to those in theDFCU plan

’ persistence through college and career are real.Students’ expectations of success were found to predict achievement and students’ beliefs in theimportance of engineering were found to predict career plans [19].To address these concerns, researchers have identified the impact of storytelling on students’empathy and self-identity [3], as well as their understanding of social disparities [20]. At GeorgiaTech, a dedicated course on storytelling in the biomedical engineering curriculum benefittedstudents by facilitating intentional development of identity and self-concept. As a result of thecourse, the instructors also found that students wanted to share their newfound ideas morebroadly [3]. In addition, the researchers compared self-reported measures for
