were built on those used in previous studies of predoctoral student careerdevelopment, including the formation of self-efficacy beliefs [48] - [50]. We asked trainees howthey selected externship sites, what kind of projects they completed, the goals they identified,and whether those goals were achieved. We asked how participating in the externship influencedtheir self-efficacy beliefs, career interests, and goals. We finally asked about the extent to whichtrainees received feedback, and how the results of the externship were woven into futureprofessional development or research after returning to their home institution.Survey measures were developed from career development literature focusing on clinicalresearchers, predoctoral students, and

“alittle bit” more like and engineer on the 7-point Likert scale were separated as “low identifiers,”and those who said “more” or “much more” of an engineer were labeled as high identifiers.In contrast with what the expectation of an engineering student, these “high identifiers” preferredproblems that were more creative, cumulative, and qualitative, that had more answers that arecorrect. They were more comfortable, engaged, interested, motivated, and assured of self-efficacy in solving engineering challenges. Our observation herein is somewhat preliminary, asthe size of the low-identifying sample was small. We cannot conclude whether the challenge-based instruction model shifted the class preferences of high-identifying students toward those
