Exposure tobiomedical topics will provide excellent preparation for interested students to pursue graduatestudies in related disciplines such as biomedical engineering or medicine. Because the modulesare rooted in fundamental engineering principles, they will be equally valuable to students whopursue careers in other engineering areas. Once developed, the modules could be adopted byclassic engineering programs such as Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, as wellas specialized Biomedical Engineering programs, and could be implemented by faculty who donot have specialized biomedical expertise. A previous paper by Farrell et al. 3 focused on thedescription of the course modules. This paper focuses on the

-groups analysis. The only task-specific self-concept that did not have a significant difference in either the within-subjects andbetween-groups comparisons was motivation; this was seen in both the overall data(Fmotivation(3,219) = 1.7, p = 0.2) and the within-subjects data (t(11) = 0.6, p = 0.5). Thisdemonstrates that freshmen, sophomore, juniors, and seniors experience similar motivationlevels when it comes to engineering design. This may be due to the fact that engineers begintheir undergraduate career with a high level of motivation, and there is not much room forimprovement in that area. The within subject pairwise results also showed the same trends fromfreshman to senior with high statistical significance for self-efficacy, expectancy

Early Concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) that tested the feasibility ofcoupling Maker concepts with real world concerns in manufacturing and production engineeringin high school classrooms. Through the EAGER, we engaged in a 3-year pilot research study onhow the Making as Micro-Manufacture M2 model may create a situated learning space. In the M2model, students can develop self-constructed educational experiences through their directengagement in Making for everyday, real world use. Practically, we applied the M2 model in theform of a practice-based learning career and technology education (CTE) course focused oncombining Making, Engineering, and elementary science curriculum implementation.For our study, we pursued the following two

With high self-efficacy, a studentwill use more cognitive and metacognitive strategies and be more likely to select challengingtasks due to their self-confidence. Upon encountering a problem, an individual with higher self-efficacy is often willing to put in additional effort and is more persistent in solving the problem.The continued effort, persistence, and perseverance will increase the likelihood that the studentwill be successful in accomplishing their task.Many reports have indicated that more engineers with strong design skills are needed. Self-efficacy is important because it is a large influence on career choice. If the engineeringcurriculum effectively develops good design engineers
