EngineeringAbstractHow can we impart the excitement of biomedical engineering to our freshmen from the momentthey step on campus? We have found great success with “Modeling and Design” an innovative,required course which engages our students as biomedical engineers from their first day at JohnsHopkins. Small groups, guided by upperclassmen lab managers, teaching assistants, and faculty,work through five modules including modeling human efficiency, the arm, and thecardiovascular system, as well as a foam core design project. By the conclusion of the fifthmodule, an independent modeling project, 96% of the students appreciate the value of working inteams to tackle complex challenges. They have become adept at developing and testing theirhypotheses, and presenting

There were a variety of topics including turning Ferris wheels,crashing vehicles, quiz scores, and steam in a turbine to name a few. To summarize most of thetopics involved academics, geographic relevance, temperature, the use of kitchen items, vehiclefunctions, mechanical systems, laboratory setups or experimentation, food or beverage items,sports or entertainment, balls and boxes in motion or suspended, manufacturing, and actions ofpeople. Seven questions did not contain cultural context. For most of the questions, the teamcomments and observations were similar or identified the same discrepancies in the accessiblelanguage and other

attribute of self-efficacy is that it is context-specific: one can have different levelsof self-efficacy for different contexts [11]. For example, one may have a high degree of self-efficacy in following a scripted laboratory activity, but a low degree for problem-solving a realworld engineering challenge. As a consequence, the instruments and scales needed to measureself-efficacy also vary greatly based on the specific context of the activity. Hence, there havebeen different scales developed for self-efficacy in different areas, such as mathematics andchemistry [12] - [15].Identity is generally focused on the feelings, thoughts, and beliefs one has of oneself [16], whichcontribute to self-confidence and, therefore, self-efficacy.
