This phase is given 4weeks for the students to define in detail the project objectives, root causes and requirementsbefore moving into the conceptual solutions phase. As the teams progress through the designprocess, teams review and revise their problem statement as a way to introduce new knowledgegained and to reevaluate and redirect the project direction.

(0.26 ≤ p ≤ 0.79).Despite having a lower perceived competence in these areas, freshmen were more confident in theircapacity to manage their time and plan for computational assignments. Our initial hypothesis was thatlower self-efficacy would lead to a lower perceived ability to plan and execute programming andsimulation tasks, especially considering many NCS freshmen indicated having little-to-no experienceworking with these tools. However, we believe that the freshmen students ranked their confidencehigher due to a belief that their abilities to strategize and efficiently manage their time for otherdisciplines would transfer to computational tasks, even though they didn’t have high confidence in theirabilities to complete them.Additionally, we

Seeing a similarfrustration in our students we sought a way to adapt our program to ensure our students could meetthe demands and requirements of future employers. One way BME programs can adapt to industrydemands is by increasing the amount of design experiences for students [7]. This can be done byincluding sophomore and junior-level engineering design
