the student body is receiving an education that approaches critical thinking in aholistic manner (e.g., formulating problems, working in a laboratory setting, mastery ofgraphical/written/verbal communication). Institutions collect a series of assessments targetingthese individual student outcomes (SOs) with the goal of determining how well the student bodycan achieve the goals prescribed by ABET. This process provides a thorough overview ofstudent attainment in the SOs from the perspective of the institution and its individual faculty,but it lacks any substantive measure of student self-efficacy.Self-efficacy is a term used to describe how well an individual believes they can accomplish atask [1]. Self-efficacy in a higher learning setting

onassessing students’ self-confidence across key biomedical engineering competencies. As therewas no existing questionnaire for this particular subject, we developed this questionnaire byfollowing the same question structure as the SE-12 Questionnaire for measuring medical studentself-efficacy for clinical tasks [14]. Students were asked to rate their level of agreement withstatements that gauged their confidence in applying technical knowledge in the field, includinglaboratory basics, biomedical device challenges, antimicrobial practices, cytocompatibility, andmechanics. The self-efficacy questionnaire was administered at the beginning and end of thesemester. Each instance of the questionnaire took 20-30 minutes to complete. In Spring 2025,the same

always align with their actual abilities. Additionally, the samplesize for both the 2023 and 2024 camps was relatively small, which may limit confidence of theresults. Further research with larger cohorts and more objective measures of learning outcomes,such as coding assessments or project evaluations, would provide a more comprehensiveunderstanding of the camp's impact.Future iterations of the camp could explore a hybrid approach, combining the strengths ofbreakout room interactions with opportunities for independent problem-solving. The surveyinstrument could be modified to evaluate self-efficacy, which began to become more central tothe camp’s primary goals. Additionally, tracking students' long-term engagement with STEMfollowing the camp
