approach may leave students unsure about potential careers [3], since itoften does not include integrating innovation, ideation, and developing new products, which arecrucial areas within the cutting-edge BME field [1], [4].One way to improve BME students’ confidence in their career preparation has been to introducethem to undergraduate research in BME-specific areas, such as research experience forundergraduates (REU) programs [5], [6], [7], as a way to encourage them to pursue graduate-level research and apply their curricular knowledge to practice [2], [8]. Generally, REUprograms have encouraged development of communication skills through both oral presentationand writing technical research, laboratory and computer skills, and collaboration

projects,which they are conducting concurrently. While not definitive, these preliminary observationsindicate that Flash-labs seem to be effective. Further data analysis would confirm this.Conclusions and Future WorkThe next stage of this research involves analysis of the thematic coding elements compiled fromdata sets collected from end-of-semester course evaluations. While Flash-labs may not be acomplete replacement for a full laboratory class component, it does appear that they helpstudents relate to and internalize core fundamental concepts within the compressed time frameand are eager to collaborate with each other. Another extension of the analysis may involveconducting photovoice analysis, focusing on themes extracted from the student DSP

All three students wereworking in the same lab co-hosted and mentored by the two laboratory Principal Investigators, aswell as undergraduate and graduate students in the lab. In-depth interviews with the three internsand their parents/caregivers were conducted and analyzed to understand parental relationships,mentorship relationships, and components of the home environment in developing STEMidentity and interest. Faculty mentors were also interviewed and provided perspectives on skillsets and confidence coming into the internship and
