Moving forward, we aim to develop instruments or adapt published instruments thatmore objectively measure student self-efficacy toward design [19] for use in our program and,more generally, in the context of biomedical engineering education. Bandura proposes four mainsources of efficacy information: performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbalpersuasion, and physiological states [20]. We aim to contribute to an understanding of howstudent design confidence relates to such described mechanisms for changes in self-efficacy.AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning for their supportvia the Curriculum Enhancement Grant (CEG) and for moderating focus groups.References[1] J.E.

In the Phase I of the project, a vague problem idea was given, which required thestudents to design a (multidisciplinary) mechatronics system.
