. This framework guided the development of our RQs as well as the analysis andinterpretation of our findings.2.2 Cultivating EmpathyThere are a number of approaches educators have employed towards the goal of cultivatingempathy in students [3]. Engagement with community partners as part of an engineering designcourse has been described as a way to enhance empathy and students’ interpersonal interactions[25]. Moreover, application scenarios via role play have been shown to be valuable for improvingempathetic communication [26]. Role play can allow students to take on worldviews that may bedistinct from their own through consideration of alternative perspectives while craftingempathetic and non-empathetic responses.Other scholars have described

paper, Engineering Problem Identification in Surgery (IDENT), EngineeringProblem Solving (SOLVE), and Engineering Proposal Writing Skills (WRITE). Participantswere asked to rate their level of certainty with which they believe they can perform each task ona Likert scale from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Disagree). To ensure content-relatedvalidity, this instrument was reviewed by two professors in engineering education who haveexpertise in self-efficacy research and survey design. To gather validity evidence based onresponse processes, think aloud protocols were used with two students to improve the wording ofthe survey before its broader use. Undergraduate and graduate biomedical engineers from avariety of universities across the
