This framework for measuring identity has been establishedthrough large scale studies in physics and mathematics18,22.Traditional roles for students create patterns for access to engineering professions and identity.While non-normative students bring many skills to engineering disciplines such as managing,planning, organizing, coordinating communications, and being cognizant of differentperspectives in group decision-making, these features are not always recognized as

This may bedue to an increased awareness of how the student as an individual will be asked to contribute tothe field as he or she nears graduation. Students within the degree program also appear to have agreater appreciation for BME as an interdisciplinary field with medicine and biology being thetwo most commonly included non-engineering disciplines. Finally, asking students to perform adesign-related task as part of their coursework may encourage the perception of BME in terms ofdevelopment or creation of new devices or processes.

The vast majority of students felt at least fairly wellprepared in problem solving, communication and teamwork, but relatively few students felt aswell prepared with respect to contemporary issues and context35. Overall, student perceptions ofother important elements of design changed during their college years, with an increased focuson identifying constraints and iterating, and decreased focus on communicating, planning, andvisualizing36.

By looking at the affordances of a system and theinterrelationships illustrated by the affordance structure matrix, significant information can beobtained that might otherwise be missed if only considering functionality.
