the context of career goals. Biomedical engineeringundergraduates are often drawn to clinical practice rather than to careers in engineering – 54%according to one study [1]. This implies an equivalent self-concept among BME majors asclinicians and as engineers. Indeed, this has been shown to be the case in previous work [2].These data sets were small, however, and they left unknown how malleable self-concept may beover the course of a single semester, for different groups, or in different learning environments.We performed a multi-year study of BME students’ career self-concept as engineers and asclinicians. The goal was to determine (a) if career self-concept, either in the absolute sense or inits change over time, differed by demographic

Appendix Table 2 illustratesrepresentative high-impact experiences available to undergraduate students. To receive credit forthe high-impact experience, students must demonstrate proof of participation (documentationrequired varies based on the experience) and submit a two-page reflection assignment. Thereflection assignments from the cohort of students were analyzed for five types of engineering-centric activity experienced: career enrichment experience, clinical immersion

Given the diversefield of biomedical engineering, from imaging modalities to implantable devices toemergent biotechnologies, no singular approach to ethics training will prepare ourstudents to assess their professional obligation to the ethical, social, and legalimplications of their future work.

To meet this need, we created two new junior-level courses:Molecular Engineering (BME305L) and Cellular Engineering (BME306L) thatwere offered in the Fall and Spring of 2022, respectively. We have emphasizedstudent-centered experimental and laboratory practice as the backbone of thesecourses to prepare students for authentic research experiences in any industry.Molecular Engineering integrates computational and experimental learningoutcomes

Biomedical Engineering at Ohio State allows studentsto take up to 4 courses called career electives intended to give a student a choice to buildspecific skills for their desired career path. This industry-classroom course was approved tobe one of the professional elective courses giving the students an incentive to take it. Theonly requirement for this course was being admitted to the BME major and wanting to takethe course. As part of the course, the company also reimbursed students for any requiredtraining and paid them at a rate of $10/hr. The course learning objectives (LOs) are: • Students will be able to: o LO1: Develop a solution to industry challenges by understanding patient needs, business priorities, and design

This is a class that really helped me connect the elements of design we learned last year with concepts of circuits and systems. 5. I feel like I have a good understanding of the FDA design controls process and can apply it to real world situations. 6.

Combined with the observation that reasons that studentsin the study reported attending office hours and barriers to office hours are consistent withliterature, we posit that ideas about office hours are solidified early in students’ college careersand that these beliefs may affect students’ likelihood of accepting new strategies implemented incourses taken later in their college careers.
