Students were asked to select and rank their top choices. Earlyon, students were encouraged to identify a medical/clinical disease/challenge, and to focus theirefforts on projects related to that specific medical/clinical disease/challenge in multiple courses.This way students could start a project that spans the course of multiple academic years buildingstudents’ knowledge and capacity in a specific area of interest related to a specific medical/clinicaldisease/challenge.A unique laboratory in the program is the Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering Lab.

Further, self-concept may positivelyinfluence self-efficacy.We hypothesized that BME students’ self-concepts and feelings of self-efficacy might relate totheir unusual career goals (relatively speaking, among engineering fields). We therefore soughtto explore BME students’ career self-concept as engineers and as clinicians, and the relationshipof those self-concepts to engineering design self-efficacy [5]. Both constructs are measured viainstruments that rely on self-declarations – also known as explicit measures. Self-declarations, orexplicit measures, of self-concept carry with them the concern of unreliability

However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions.
