Abstract

This mixed-methods research study follows the progress of an incoming cohort of biomedical engineering technology (BMET) students as they engage in a re-designed introductory course and navigate problem-based learning (PBL) activities with a career focus. Taken collectively, our findings affirm previous studies of PBL as an effective strategy for fostering engineering habits of mind; and they further underscore how PBL can serve as a vehicle for enhancing onboarding and persistence through career-oriented degrees in engineering, with particular salience for transitioning returning or non-traditional students to the workforce.
