Mentor-focused Professional Development for Investigators Initiating Discipline-based Educational Research (DBER) in Biomedical EngineeringAbstractOur work (NSF PFE: RIEF Award 1927150) initiates a discipline-based educational researchstudy of student design self-efficacy in an undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME)program. A key component of this work focuses on our own professional development asengineering education researchers, which contributes to our abilities to undertake current andfuture engineering education studies.

Each of the three workshops will have homework completed prior to theworkshop to maximize collaborative work on the specific objectives for each workshop. The short coursedesign also models the use of metacognitive experiences by calling on instructors to engage in planning,monitoring, and evaluating their own understanding and processes.Before starting the workshops, participants will learn about metacognition through our existing modules

Learning is not only a one-waytransmission of information from teacher to students. Effective instruction engages students actively intheir learning. Learning to be meaningful and effective it must have clear goals. Assessment is a key partin defining these goals. The good teachers constantly assess how their students are performing, gatherevidence of the progress and problems, and adjust their instructional plans accordingly.

Since engineering as a knowledge-based skill set is like everythingsubject to historical generation, corruption, and mutation, engineers need to be critical ofunreasonably long-term, large-scale design specifications.
