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

Instructors often use open-ended case scenarios to prepare engineering students forethical decision making in their work [1]. Open-ended ethics case studies or scenarios canengage students in ethical reasoning and judgment, especially when they are delivered in flexibleways and provide opportunities for students to express their views in their own words [2].However, assessments of ethics case scenarios have their own downsides. Perhaps most notably,such grading can be time-intensive and in large course sections with multiple instructors (such asthe course we study here), grading may lack consistency for both inter-grader and intra-graderassessment

Belonging is acritical dimension of student success affecting a student’s degree of academic adjustment,persistence, and post-graduate aspirations, while also contributing to institutional benchmarkslike retention and degree completion [1].

According toEngineering by the Numbers for the year 2021, many of the top-producing universities forengineers either remained the same from the previous year or, in the case of George Tech (thetop school), graduated fewer students in 2021 than in 2020 [1]. Much of the conversationsurrounding engineering today is much the same as it has been for years. There is not enough“supply,” i.e., engineers, to meet the demand for engineers in today's economy [2],[3]. Manyhave proposed that diversifying engineering can change this narrative and meet the demand forengineers [2],[3]. Much of the literature surrounding engineering

This push for diversity includes enrolling students with increasingly distinctbackgrounds, cultures, prior training, learning styles, and goals. However, simply enrolling amore diverse student body does not guarantee a diverse set of graduates [1]. Instead, to provideequitable instruction to all students, universities must not only focus on academic factors toimprove achievement gaps, but also socioemotional aspects that will encourage students to persistwithin their academic track, as posited by the heads-and-hearts hypothesis [2].

Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

With a projected increase in STEM jobs of 8 percent by 2029 (ahigher rate than non-STEM jobs [2]) there is a need to address the equitable cultivation of aSTEM workforce that is diverse and culturally relevant.In order to broaden the interest of young learners in STEM, many educators are including art intheir STEM activities (making STEAM the new acronym.)

Engineering EducationBackground/MotivationThe research on self-concept has been occupying a significant portion of the studies contributingto the advancement of educational psychology. As much as the topic has gained popularity in thepast decades, it suffered due to the lack of a concrete definition in its early years of advent [1].As interest in it grew, self-concept also gained strength, clarity, and structure. It grew strong as itgained a definition explaining how it might play an important role for a student and for aneducator [1]. Clarity was provided when it was differentiated from some parallel concepts inself-theory and affixing a space for self-concept in an individual’s perceptions, and not a justplaceholder [2].

Ninety-three percent of the FYSE participants successfully completed
