they need to communicate theirmeaning-making and its value to others? The purpose of this paper is to describe a newlyrequired course, The Art of Telling Your Story, for undergraduates in biomedical engineering atone highly selective STEM-focused university. In this course, students develop and sharepowerful stories of events that transformed them in some meaningful way. The course instructorand students engage in joint dialogues around these stories that build self-concept and that helpthem to see themselves as being entrepreneurially minded. Preliminary findings suggest thatstudents: 1) thoroughly enjoy the course, but more importantly, 2) explore their unique identities,and 3) improve their self-concept clarity. In this paper, we describe

Other goals of the program include reinforcing the value of incorporatingscientific inquiry and engineering practices in STEM curricula and creating a community of like-minded teachers, scientists and engineering professionals. By the end of the 7-week program, teachers are expected to prepare a scientific poster tosummarize their research. Additionally, teachers prepare a complete lesson related to theirresearch topic that will be presented in front of NASCENT faculty, staff and schooladministrators and it will become a part of the school’s science

activities. In alignment with previous research(e.g., [19, 20]), our findings also show that educators being exposed to technical skills andactivities may have motivated youth to consider future technology-oriented careers. Finally,educators and administrators viewed the open-ended approach to self-directed learning andexploration of topics beyond classroom time, which is built into the curriculum as a motivator formany youths to independently search online for solutions, advanced technical topics, andresources beyond the ones included in the curriculum. These observations align with severalEngineering Habits of Mind, including persistence, collaboration, and creativity as identified inthe P12 Engineering Education Framework [5].In addition to

instructors and felt the instructors had their best interests in mind. These feelings contributed to overall student engagement in Part III, their MATLAB coding, and may contribute to persistence in the program. In their classic ethnographic study of 460 science, mathematics, and engineering (SME) students from fifteen four-year institutions from 1990-1993, Seymour and Hewitt found that the third most commonly-cited factor (36.1%) for switching out of SME was poor teaching by SME faculty. Poor teaching by SME faculty was also mentioned as a concern by 90.2% of all switchers and by 73.7% of non-switchers [24]. In their follow-up ethnographic study of 346 students from six four-year institutions, Seymour and Hunter observed that poor quality of STEM

of essential notions of intellect, drive, and self-discipline thatcenter on bodily ‘normalcy’” [8]. Notions of engineering skill have assumptions about “capable”bodies and minds built into them [12]. For example, to be seen as proficient at circuit design andtesting in an electrical engineering lab, one is expected to have the manual dexterity tomanipulate centimeter-long resistors and capacitors and the visual acuity to see small details upclose. A students’ demonstration that they understand the workings of a circuit is often conflatedwith the physical act of circuit-making in the laboratory. In such instances, lack of physicaldexterity or visual sharpness may be interpreted as lack of proficiency at engineering tasks.Because of the
