In an effort to enhance student engagement and incorporateprinciples of teamwork and design earlier into our curriculum, our first year, introductorybiomedical engineering (BME) course was redesigned from a traditional, lecture-based surveycourse to an active, team-based learning course. The Fall 2015 quarter was the first offering ofthis redesign, and this Works in Progress paper presents the redesign methods used and discusseshow students operated in a team as assessed by modes of communication, level of organization,and peer-evaluation.MethodsThe previous structure of this Introduction to BME course consisted of guest

write in general.Invariably, conversations around engineering student writing motivation turn to the topic ofengineering student values: value for writing class content, value for writing as a skill, value forwriting’s role in their future careers. We intuitively understand that when a learner valuescontent—that is, the student finds it useful, important, or interesting—the learner is motivated tosucceed in learning tasks. Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as “task value motivation”,and though it is but one of a constellation of learning motivation factors9, research suggests thatstudents with high task value use deeper cognitive strategies to succeed10,11. We tend to associateour interests and values very strongly with our learning

Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) helps to explain why student chooseand persist into careers, particularly those in STEM fields.10 Self-efficacy, the belief held bystudents about their ability to perform or complete a task, is one of the cornerstones of SCCT.11Consistently, self-efficacy has been predictive of career choices, persistence toward a career, andperformance. 10, 12, 13 Self-efficacy should be assessed as it directly relates to a specific task orskill not just a broad conceptualization of ability, and while related to cognitive ability, astudent’s task specific self-efficacy is uniquely related to career related decisions.10 Further

To achieve thesegoals, the course curriculum emphasized career exploration, collaboration with peers, writtenreflections, and diversity and global learning opportunities.We identified with Yosso’s theory of “navigational capital,” which captures the knowledge andskills of underrepresented or underprivileged students that enable them to navigate institutionsand communities where a dominant culture prevails 27.

During this period, students turn their attention to college choice and considera subject in which to major. One of the key focuses of the course is to provide these students,who are standing at the edge of the PK-12 pipeline, with a broad view of engineering. A range ofhands-on activities and service learning opportunities are offered that demonstrate the diversetypes of work engineers do.

Conversely, a positive workplace climate also helps to explainwhy women stay in the engineering workforce.3,5For women in engineering careers, those who persist were found in one study to possess highlevels of self efficacy, to describe themselves in terms of their identity as an engineer, and to bemotivated by the innovations and challenges afforded by engineering. This study also reasonedthat those who persist possess an ability to adapt and thrive “despite working in a male-dominated culture characterized by difficulties associated with the workplace, includingdiscrimination”.
