These programs are variable depending on theresources of the University: some programs have developed summer internships to provide aclinical immersion experience, while others have sought to bring the immersion during a moreconventional classroom setting [6]. Literature has reported that these programs which provideeffective immersion experiences result in an increase in students’ self-reported knowledge andskills, in addition to general confidence. These experiences often extend beyond needsidentification, as students connect with potential users and witness the community impact. It alsocreates room for interdisciplinary involvement, such as the

States. The general purpose of these experiences is toimmerse students in clinic environments so that they can leverage primary experience in thedesign and consideration of medical devices. Many of these programs have been inspired by theStanford BioDesign program [1, 2] and typically include needs identification – a recognized bestpractice for BME education [3] – though specific programmatic structure, content,implementation, and outcomes vary depending on aims and resources [4-17]. More recentinnovations involve remote immersions during the COVID-19 pandemic [18], collaborationswith outside community healthcare providers [19, 20], and the use of virtual reality in immersion[21].

Uninformed career planning isfairly passive and dictated by chance or circumstance, while informed decision making requiresindividuals to take an active role in the process of selecting a future occupation [1].

This intentional approachaffords students the ability to pursue a wide array of career paths upon completing their education;however, programs have faced criticism for their efficacy in adequately preparing students forcareers in the field of biomedical engineering (BME) [3], [4]. Stakeholders (i.e., employers) in thebiomedical field have reported BME graduates’ expertise and technical skills to be limited,compared to other engineering majors. Importantly, recent efforts have been made to determinethe professional and technical skills that stakeholders in the biomedical field deem required

the context of career goals. Biomedical engineeringundergraduates are often drawn to clinical practice rather than to careers in engineering – 54%according to one study [1]. This implies an equivalent self-concept among BME majors asclinicians and as engineers. Indeed, this has been shown to be the case in previous work [2].These data sets were small, however, and they left unknown how malleable self-concept may beover the course of a single semester, for different groups, or in different learning environments.We performed a multi-year study of BME students’ career self-concept as engineers and asclinicians. The goal was to determine (a) if career self-concept, either in the absolute sense or inits change over time, differed by demographic

, our Assessment Committee,which reviews the work output from the spring BME Design courses annually, has noted thatteams often run out of time in the semester for thorough testing, so it would be beneficial toincentivize them to prototype sooner [1, 2] . In response, we devised a low-stakes Show and Tellsession which occurs semesterly between existing presentations to capitalize on our students’aptitude for providing valuable verbal feedback. Thus, the Show and Tell’s intended outcomeswere threefold: first, provide a formal yet ungraded opportunity for peer-to-peer feedback;second, further the achievement of ABET Outcome 3: communicate effectively with a range ofaudiences through the repetitive delivery of an elevator pitch; third, drive teams

Because of this interdisciplinary nature, ateam teaching model, where expertise of multiple instructors is brought together, can be used todeepen student learning in BME courses. Team teaching in other disciplines has been shown toenhance student learning and can also benefit the instructors of a teaching team [1], [2]. Toachieve these benefits, the instructors must work effectively as a team and consciouslyincorporate the strength of team teaching into the course design [3], [4].

However, given the diversity of such programsacross the country concerning resources available, such as proximity to a major medical school,teaching hospital, active residency programs, etc., it is challenging to derive a universal "one sizefits all" approach for such a course, as well as challenges in reporting their efficacy [6–8].

Developed in 1972based on the constructivist pedagogy of Ausubel [1], a concept map is a hierarchical diagram thatshows the relationship between different concepts, ideas, or other pieces of informationoriginating from a key concept. Concepts are represented by nodes, and the relationshipsbetween them are represented by lines or arrows that contain a linker word or phrase thatdescribes that relationship [2]. Concepts increase in specificity as they progress further awayfrom the key concept. Arrangement of a series of related concept-links in a hierarchical chainrepresents a domain of knowledge.
