To address the need forundergraduates to possess adequate non-technical skills prior to graduation, BME curriculatypically use capstone courses as vehicles for teaching professionalism. In the BME Capstonecourse at the University of Virginia, we have instituted several mechanisms for instilling a widearray of non-technical professional skills in BME majors. An emphasis on career developmentbegins at the outset of the course with a formal project selection process that features a BMECapstone “Project Fair,” which is similar to a job fair where the students submit resumes andinterview with potential
