Bootstrapping a New Graduate Curriculum through an Engineering Research CenterAbstract NSF Generation-3 Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are charged both withadvancing the state-of-the-art in terms of engineering and scientific research as well as training awell-qualified workforce in the domain of expertise. Such an ERC was awarded in 2008 to NorthCarolina A&T State University (NCAT), with the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and theUniversity of Cincinnati (UC) as the core US research partner institutions. The focus of thisERC, the ERC for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials (RMB) is the development of advancedmaterials and processes targeted at the biomedical implant and device industry. NCAT has strongresearch

Often, these two disciplines include students on a premedicaltrack, which has also encouraged exposure to HD and SDOH in medical curriculum

Self-efficacy is defined as “people’s judgments of their capabilities to organize and execute courses ofaction required to attain designated types of performances” (Bandura, 1986, p. 391). Thesebeliefs are integrated with contextual factors and behaviors related to job performance or, in thiscase, academic setting, which can be influenced by past experiences, as well as confidence.Individuals also have outcome expectations, or beliefs about what the outcome of an event willbe, within multiple domains, including physical, social, and self-evaluative outcomes (Bandura,1986).

information registered in a multidimensional code [6, 7].The term episodic reflects its capacity to hold integrated episodes that extend both spatially andtemporally. It is a buffer because it offers a multidimensional code that allows information fromdifferent subsystems to be integrated and linked to LTM. Such a multidimensional capacity tendsto be computationally demanding, hence the buffer's limited capacity [8]. The buffer is assumedto be controlled by the CE, using conscious awareness as an effective retrieval strategy [9-11].The episodic buffer's prominent feature is information chunking. Chunking is where storagecapacity increases by integrating several disparate features into a single whole [12]. The episodicbuffer involves the more complex
