Join us for a seminar with Sharon Miller, Associate Professor of Engineering Practice in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Assistant Vice Provost for Purdue University in Indianapolis, as she explores how embedding team-based biomedical design projects across three consecutive years of an undergraduate curriculum impacts student self-efficacy. Dr. Miller will share insights into how continuous exposure to real-world design—and experiences beyond the classroom like clinical immersion—can strengthen students' belief in their ability to succeed.
