Resume AcquisitionResumes were collected from a subset of each graduating senior biomedical engineering cohortover the course of four years. This collection of resumes (n = 68) was then stored and protectedin accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) [13]. Resumes weregiven willingly to the primary faculty member overseeing this work and were de-identified uponrequest. The datasets and resume repositories containing identifying information were onlyaccessed by authorized users who have completed FERPA training. Upon further inspection ofthe resumes, three could not be

provided by a team of fourgraduate student TAs. With the guidance of an experienced faculty member, TAs recorded video lectures,prepared and led in-class and lab-based sessions, and created online homework assessments that could beautomatically graded by the online course management system.Successful implementation of a flipped classroom model was achieved and although challenges wereencountered, the success of the course was based on course evaluations, student and teaching assistantfeedback, and improvements in biomechanics related knowledge as assessed by concept inventory assessments.Knowledge acquisition over the course of the semester was demonstrated by a 38% gain score demonstratingincreased knowledge using the Biomechanics Concept

toexpect from biomedical engineers. Thus, engineering positions in healthcare which are, intheory, well-suited for biomedical engineers, are instead filled with engineers trained in moretraditional disciplines such as mechanical or electrical engineering [6]. In an effort to better understand these historically fundamental BME challenges, this paperseeks to explore BME identity. Identity, both personal and social, has been shown to play a rolein educational persistence and career decisions. Some studies have examined social identityfactors for representation and persistence in engineering but few, if any, have analyzedprofessional identity of biomedical engineers. Additionally, little has been done to analyze theeffect that social identity

did not explicitly capture the “analysis” and“modeling” aspects of this ABET criterion because they do not necessitate the design or creationof something new. As these terms lend themselves easily to research efforts in BME (e.g.,proteomics analysis or cardiovascular disease modeling), exploring the degree to whichundergraduate students are cognizant of these aspects of the field may yield important insightsinto a student’s choice to attend graduate school or pursue a research-based career.d) Making Measurements on and Interpreting Data from Living Systems This was the only criterion for which an analog was not identified in the student-provided definitions of BME. It represents an important differentiation from all other ABET
