The study follows the progress of BMET students throughout a semester who engage in a re-designed course and PBL activities. Our multi-faceted assessment includes quantitative measures of career awareness, confidence, efficacy, and in-depth qualitative analysis of cognitive, non-cognitive, and affective responses to course content and instructional delivery. Findings affirm PBL is effective for fostering habits of mind, but they further underscore how PBL can serve as a vehicle for enhancing the learning experience for students.
