Problem’scomplexity [21] is indicated by: (1) the number of issues, functions, or variables involved in theproblem; and (2) the level of uncertainty about which concepts, rules, and principles that arenecessary to solve the problem.

This work in progress focused on establishing preliminary relationships within motivationand identity respectively. Ultimately, we seek to assess whether these constructs are sufficientlycorrelated that one may be used as a valid and reliable means of measuring the other. Thus, ourdata analysis will include evaluating criterion-related validity (both predictive and concurrent)[10]. If such a relationship exists, it could support the usefulness of one construct in predictingthe other.

The experiences of the US studentcohort mirrored the activities (on a modified timeline) that participating Canadian studentsendured. For this project, we worked within a qualitative research paradigm to explore theelements of the collaboration. Data collection thus far for the project was conducted through twomethods: document analysis and open-ended survey. Document analysis examined the physicalartifacts [9] from the Canadian and US outreach groups, including agenda, program schedules,manuals, curriculum documents, and training materials.

Weworry that assessing students according to how a professor perceives their “enthusiasm” canunintentionally exclude students who differ from the professor, such as by gender, race, class, orculture. Second, members of the two labs tell stories about failure to undergraduates in differentways, which serve as powerful modes of socialization. Discourse styles as reflected incommunities’ storytelling may influence undergraduates’ sense of belonging.

While it would be expected for non-team leaders to have little incentive to keep upwith other teams, as they have little or no formal opportunity to evaluate other teams, we weresurprised that “keeping up with other teams” was consistently ranked by team leaders as the leastinfluential of the named categories.ConclusionWhen taken together, our preliminary assessment of the presence and role of competition due toweekly peer

programs create trackswhich align the educational focus with faculty research interests; however, they further add tocurricular rigidity, as they are often composed of courses largely outside of our department.When speaking with peer institutions, it became clear that many institutions experience thesechallenges, and in particular, the debate over the benefit of technical tracks appears to beongoing. Beyond challenges to students, technical tracks present difficulties for administrators,as maintaining relevance to modern bioengineering practice requires continual assessment andforecasting due to the rapid changes in the field and can never comprehensively satisfy alltechnical needs in bioengineering industries.
