ENGR100 is the University of Michigan College of Engineering’s first year engineering program designed to simulate a real-world engineering environment. Each year up to 28 sections of ENGR100 are offered, allowing students to experience the engineering profession in different subdisciplines. Many first-year students use this course to inform their career paths. For the past 18 years, the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department has been sponsoring ENGR100. 500 (Biotechnology, Human Values, & Engineering), focusing on the research and paper design of a novel molecular test for a disease, with two hands-on wet laboratory experiments. 16 Unfortunately, the focus on diagnostics does not expose students to the breadth of opportunities in BME and thus may not allow students to develop a BME identity as reported by students in our department. Students in our department report longstanding challenges with their identity as biomedical engineers, 18 and their perceptions of BME education and future career opportunities. 1, 10 Specifically, for our department 9:
