The cornerstone of the program isa summer residency course, Biomedical Engineering Practice and Innovation (“BEPI”).BEPI was designed to build upon foundational coursework by providing experiential learningopportunities in all program focus areas: Imaging, Instrumentation, and Translational TissueEngineering. BEPI combines seven weeks of online coursework with two three-day weekends inresidency at the main campus and hospital in Baltimore, for a total of twelve sessions taught bymultiple engineering and clinical faculty, each experts in their respective fields. Each of thethree
laboratory, office hours, orother venues, is one of the key college experiences associated with studentdevelopment.13 In the two years prior to the project timeline described here, thestudents participated in team building activities and research experiences thatprepared them for the final project. The preliminary activities, particularly theteam building skills, described in Cutright et al.14 were used to enable thestudents' to develop into an effective interdisciplinary team as well as address thepotential lack of interest in core STEM classes. This is in line with Wilson etal.2,15 who reported that mentoring, education, and research were all critical forcollege and post-college persistence in STEM.

considerincorporating entrepreneurship education for students (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012; Duval-Couetilet al., 2016). According to Duval et al. (2012), most engineering students recognized theimportance of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship as a “worthwhile career option”(p. 429). Students with entrepreneurial experiences chose “satisfying a need in a market” as atop reason for entering an entrepreneurship career (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012). Students withentrepreneurship experiences ranked higher in self-efficacy and confidence per the student’sperspective of entrepreneurial ability.Further, the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program “preparesscientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the laboratory” (NSF, I

Thestudents believed there was no reason to pursue a Ph.D. unless one wanted to become a professor.The authors strongly believe in undergraduate research opportunities and have severalundergraduates working in their labs. While these research interactions have proven valuable forboth the faculty and the students, the authors felt like it would be good to expose undergraduateswith interest in research to additional mentors beyond university faculty.
