We have found “traditional” pathways using the BME degree toinclude: full-time employment in biotechnology and medical device technology, enrollment inSTEM graduate programs, and enrollment in health profession programs (medical, dental,pharmacy, optometry). The AAES model lacks the robustness needed for use as a guidance toolin biomedical engineering since

A short measure of engineering self-efficacywas embedded in the self-report items [16] in addition to a measure of individual empathy [17].Respondents were also asked about degree of peer and family support for their career choice, andthe likelihood of pursuing graduate education or a professional job in engineering.

Forinstance, because of the technical restrictions of the programming for such virtual worlds, theimplementation of realistic laboratory exercises has turned out to be very challenging.In this paper, the development of a classroom and a laboratory space with a number ofengineering experiments in Second Life/OpenSim 6.7 is described. The technical problemsencountered during this development can be divided into three main groups: (a) insufficientvisual appeal of the object models, (b) problems with the physics engine and (c) limitedprogramming capabilities.
